Page 323 - In The Name Of Allah, The All-Merciful And Most Merciful

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

We can see from the examples given so far that

every animal species uses different methods to protect its
young. And yet these techniques are so complex that we won-
der how creatures with no awareness, intelligence, or ability to
think or plan can implement them so successfully. Here we have
creatures with no awareness of intelligence and without the will
required to demonstrate compassion, mercy, self-sacrifice, and
other virtues in any planned way. But at the same time, we can

see that they produce works that require intelligence, aware-
ness, planning and that they show mercy and self-sacrifice.
Clearly, such abilities and feelings can only come from Allah.

Ants, termites, bees, and other creatures that live in
communities concentrate on their eggs and larvae. Ants place
their eggs and larvae in rooms in the underground nests pre-
pared for them. Worker ants often place the eggs and larvae in
their mouths and move them from room to room, depending

on the temperature and humidity. If another creature attacks
the eggs, the worker ants empty the rooms and hide the larvae
somewhere outside the nest. One would expect these unaware
creatures to abandon their young after giving birth; however,
they assume total responsibility for them and protect them
from every danger.
Every creature assumes responsibility for its young until

they are old enough to take care of themselves. Clearly, the
source of such behavior cannot be their own intelligence, for
they have no intelligence. A bird, a tiger, or any other creature
cannot consider the needs of another creature and act to fulfill
them down to the slightest detail. All of them act under His in-
spiration, for they are all subject to Allah, Who created them.
