aerodynamic mechanisms as they maneuver and settles into level flight.
Furthermore, there is a great deal that we do not know with regard to the
flight of all insects:
Just about every flight mechanism in the insect world remains unex-
plained. 242
Robert Michelson, a research engineer at the Georgia Technical
Research Institute, emphasizes that the various aerodynamics displayed
during the various forms of butterfly flight are quite astonishing. In his re-
search, he used a robot known as an entomopter that beats its tiny wings
and states that insect wings are “physically complex, difficult to miniatur-
ize.” 243 Wing control consumes high levels of energy. This research, ac-
cording to the California University Electrical Engineering Faculty
Professor Ron Fearing, contributes to our understanding of the variety of
aerodynamics in nature.
In fact, all these creatures studied by scientists are just a few of the ex-
amples of Allah’s creative artistry. Allah’s infinite knowledge is plain for
all to see, everywhere in nature.
Even scientists with no religious beliefs can’t refrain from expressing
their amazement at such sublime and incomparable knowledge.
That is Allah, your Lord. There is no god but Him, the Creator of every-
thing. So worship Him. He is responsible for everything. (Surat
al-An‘am, 102)
