The Essential Function of Oil Glands

Contrary to what evolutionists imagine, oil
glands are not functionless and redundant; on the
contrary, they are essential tissues for the body.
As we know, sweat glands are found together
with oil glands in the skin. Sweat allows the skin to
be moisturised. On its own, however, sweat imme-
diately evaporates, leading to greater drying of the
skin. In order to prevent this, another secretion is
needed. That is because an oily environment allows
water to be retained in the skin. In this way, the
sweat and oil glands work together to moisturise
the skin. That is why it is essential for both glands to
be present at the same time in order for the skin to
be soft and elastic. The function of the oil glands,
which secrete wax and other lipids, is necessary for
the health of our skin.
As we have seen, oil glands, like other tissues,
serve a particular purpose: preventing our skin
from drying out. The oil glands have been located
where our sweat glands are for just this purpose.
The fact that these glands are not harmful, and that
on the contrary they serve an essential function, is
proof of an intelligent design, in other words a su-
perior creation. That creation is the art of God,
Exalted in Power, the Lord of the heavens and the
earth and all that lies between.
