perform their function in the best way possible. The cone cells in the
retina contain many light-sensitive pigments, as well as a layer con-
taining nerve connections. This organization gives the cone cells a
very high sensitivity to light.
In the small intestine, too, there are nutrient-absorbing cells with
the appropriate shape to perform their special functions. The lining
of the small intestine is covered by millions of fingerlike projections
called villi. On each villus are microvilli which are even tinier. The
combination of these projections increases the surface area for
digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Never forget that all of the billions of cells in the human body
came about from the division of just one original cell, which origi-
nated from the union of sperm and egg. To think that each of these
cells chose their individual shapes and then somehow assumed the
shape of a body is totally illogical. This all shows clearly that cells
are created in the most efficient ways to carry out their functions.
That is, they are created by God,
the Possessor of infinite wisdom
and intelligence.
