YOUR CELLS CAN DO WHAT YOU CANNOT

Pretend that various samples of powdered metal are placed before
you, and you are asked to determine what each metal is. Would your
analysis be correct?
If you haven't been educated in the field of metallurgy, this would be
impossible for you. But this analysis, which a conscious being like you
cannot perform, is done quite easily by the approximately 100 trillion
cells in your body—and without any thinking, or calculations, or diffi-
culty. Moreover, not only the cells in your body have this ability, but so
do the untold trillions of cells in the bodies of the billions who have ever
lived on Earth.
Your cells can easily recognize iron, which your body needs, and can
absorb it for use. With the same ease, cells can recognize phosphorus,
nitrogen, oxygen, sodium, potassium and other substances and can
gather them together to use, or else store the excess. They can even send
out any extra material that isn't needed.
Consider that the cell is a structure made up of proteins, molecules,
and atoms and is about a thousandth of a millimeter in size. It has no
hands or arms, no eyes, ears or brain. Unlike you, it has no conscious-
ness. If so, how can it recognize these substances?
This ability is brought about by God's inspiration to each cell. It is the
Possessor of knowledge and power Who confers this ability requiring
clear insight and consciousness, upon blind and unconscious atoms.
Most people cannot identify minerals placed in front of them. However,
cells in our body can distinguish between minerals, oxygen, sodium
and potassium, and isolate the elements it wants and take them in.
