Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

man body is a mass of flesh and bones weighing approxi-
mately 60-70 kilograms (132-154 pounds). Our flesh is one of
the most non-resilient materials in nature, for it will putrefy
in a few hours if left out in the cold and rot within a day or
two, producing an unendurable stench. The human body is
composed mainly of this corruptible material. But because
the circulating blood nourishes it and the skin protects it

form alien bacteria, it can be kept from spoiling and rotting
for 70-80 years. This is Allah’s protection of human beings.
Without this divine protection, we would not survive for
even one moment.

It is a wonderful proof of Allah’s mercy and com-
passion that a fetus grows proportionately in the mother’s

womb. Every organ has its own predetermined size and de-
velops at just the right time, thereby avoiding overdevelop-
ment and underdevelopment. Hands, feet, ears, eyes, and
other pairs must take shape at the same time, and their de-
velopment must end at the same time so that they will be the
same size at the end. At the same time, the organs must de-
velop symmetrically because the cells ensure the right tim-
ing. At the same time, the parts develop symmetrically be-
cause the cells act equally to ensure the right timing. We can

understand how vital it is that organs develop at the same
time if we think of what would happen in the opposite case.
Suppose that body parts grew at different rates and were in-
dependent of each other. If a baby’s skull did not expand
enough, its brain would be crushed and death would come
