Page 73 - The Miracle of Termites

Adnan Oktar

He is the Living – there is no god but Him – so call on Him,
making your religion sincerely His. Praise be to God, the Lord
of all the worlds. (Surah Ghafir:65)

Noticing the wonderful construction in termite nests, scientists
have done various experiments with them. In one, they divided in two
a termite nest in the process of being built and prevented the two
groups of termites from having any contact with each other. The result
was not two different nests, but two halves of the same nest. When the

two finished halves were put back together, all the tunnels that the ter-
mites had built connected with one another. 31
There is no doubt that this was miraculous. Just imagine that you
gave two groups of human workers each a pile of sand and commis-
sioned each of the two groups to build half a sandcastle, without giv-

ing either of the groups instructions or supplying them with a plan.
Would each be able to make an exact copy of the other half of the sand-
castle? Of course not. Now in addition, imagine that these workers
you've commissioned are blind. The enterprise would be even more
impossible! These two groups couldn't built identical halves of a sand-

Just as the sand castles pictured here could
not have come about by chance, so blind ter-
mites cannot accidentally construct nests that
are architectural wonders.
