tissues. This would mean inevitable death for any living thing. Were the
exact opposite to occur—were the bond between hemoglobin and oxygen
to be even slightly stronger—then the hemoglobin and oxygen would be
unable to separate from one another upon reaching the tissues. The cells
would again be deprived of oxygen, and the living thing would die within
a matter of minutes.
These two facts represent evident proof of a special design inside he-
moglobin—a perfect system that has been created for transporting oxygen
inside the human body. Every detail within this system is just one of the
countless proofs that display the infinite nature of the knowledge and
might of God.
