THE LUNGS HAVE THEIR OWN EMERGENCY

DEFENSE UNIT

Some cells in the lungs actually spray a natural biocide over
bacteria and other microbes. This way, microbes and bacteria that
enter through the respiratory tract and manage to reach the lungs
alive are killed there.
Obviously, it's not possible for lung cells to recognize harmful
substances, much less know to produce whatever's needed to neu-
tralize them. Cells are devoid of abilities such as thinking, cogni-
tion, decision-making, or planning. These are all products of God,
the One Who created it all in harmony and balance, and regulation
with the heavens and the Earth. By making just one cell perform
acts with such consciousness that dumbfounds human beings,
God displays signs of His infinite knowledge and wisdom.

Cells in the lungs have their own
defense system. Immediately identify-
ing microbes that enter the body
through the respiratory tract, they
secrete a substance that neutralizes
these microbes. That a tiny cell invisi-
ble to the naked eye can distinguish
between microbes and other sub-
stances is a great miracle, because if it
makes the wrong decision, it could
neutralize a substance the body actual-
ly needs.
