levels of growth hormone there and take the appropriate decisions accord-
ingly?
In order to appreciate what a great miracle this actually is, consider
the following analogy:
Assume that using special technology yet to be invented, we have
shrunk an entire human being down to the size of a cell. This tiny person
has been placed inside a special capsule and inserted next to one of the cells
in the region of the hypothalamus.
This individual's job is to count the number of growth-hormone mole-
cules inside the capillary vessels before him. He must also determine
whether their number has risen or fallen. It is well known that, there are
thousands of different substances flowing past in the blood. Bearing in
mind the structure of molecules, (unless this lone individual has received
special, expert biochemical training). it will be impossible for him to deter-
mine whether or not the compounds flowing past him belong to growth
hormone. Yet it is essential that the person installed in the hypothalamus
recognize every growth hormone molecule from among all the other thou-
sands of molecules, because he must monitor the levels of growth hormone
at all times (Figures 53 and 54).
How do hypothalamus cells perform a task which would be ex-
tremely difficult even for a human being of any size? How can they mea-
sure the amount of growth hormone, which is always present in the blood,
even after skeletal growth stops, to maintain the division of cells? How do
they distinguish between growth hormone and the countless other mole-
cules? These cells have no eyes with which to recognize molecules, nor
brains with which to analyze the results. Yet they carry out the task given
them within the system established by God in a flawless manner. Thanks to
this immaculate system, human beings have perfectly proportioned and
aesthetically pleasing organs and bodies. God has created all things with
perfect features:
He is God—the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him belong
the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and earth glori-
fies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surat al-Hashr, 24)
