            the combs. Clearly, the comb is a special structure, and it is nonsensical to
            imagine that it could have come into being by chance. Every stage in the life
            of bees is a manifestation of the infinite might and creative artistry of God.


               Bees’ Unbelievable Calculations

               To better understand the miraculous nature of what bees do, imagine
            that you have a number of bricks of exactly the same dimensions. It will be
            easy enough for you, working together with a friend, to lay these out in a
            straight line, building from opposite ends at once. There is a likelihood,
            however, that when you reach the middle, there will be a gap left over,
            smaller than the size of any single brick. This you can resolve by breaking
            one of the bricks and filling in the gap.
               But assume that you want to do this the way bees do in building their
            combs—without breaking any bricks, apart from those at the extremities.
            (Bees only use half-hexagons at the comb edges, because of the hexagon’s
            geometric form.) What will you do then? In other words, you are allowed
            to break the bricks only at the ends, in the same way that bees do with
            their hexagons. You have to use the rest of the bricks whole, again in the
            same way as bees.
               In order to do this, you’ll need to make some calculations. You cannot
            succeed if you simply go about the task randomly. Several preliminary
            steps will be necessary for success, including:
               - You have to get a tape measure and mea-
            sure the length of the line.                     The kingdom of the
               - You must then measure the length of one    heavens and the earth
            of the bricks.                                      and everything
               - You must divide the length of the line by      between them
            that of one brick. If the length of the line is not  belongs to God. He
            an exact multiple of that of the brick, then the  creates whatever He
            result you obtain will not be a whole number.   wills. God has power
               - That portion of the number following after  over all things. (Surat
            the decimal point is of the greatest importance,     al-Ma’ida: 17)
