CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE CELL

THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK

BETWEEN CELLS

The 100 trillion cells in our body work together in perfect har-
mony. To bring this about, the cells need to closely keep aware of
one another's functions. For this purpose, they produce messen-
ger molecules known as hormones. Thyroid hormone, for
instance, controls the rate of metabolism in all cells. The insulin
hormone regulates the amount of glucose in the blood and facil-
itates its entry into every cell in the body. Aldosterone stimulates
the kidneys and so keeps the level of water and salt in the blood
in balance. For the production of red blood cells, the message
sent by the erythropoietin hormone is necessary.
Many hundreds of other hormones allow for the continuous
communication among cells. Moreover, this takes place with the
same perfection in every one of the billions of humans and ani-
mals on Earth. Without hormones, there would be no order in
the body, only chaos and neglect.
But how can one cell know what another cell should be doing
at a distance of centimeters away? How does it know what hor-
mone will bring about the desired effect? And in addition, how
does it know the structure of this hormone, or obtain the materi-
als needed to make it in the first place?
The only logical answer is that everything in the body has
been created with a certain plan of great knowledge and con-
sciousness. The order found among the 100 trillion cells in every
single person out of the billions on the face of the Earth is proof
and wisdom of God's creation and His uniqueness.
