THE MIRACLE OF HUMAN CREATION
Shape to The Body: How Does It Happen?
Now the cluster of cells has become an embryo, which means to "te-
em within." If we could watch the cells during this period, we would en-
counter much activity. Cells similar to one another divide and multiply at
a certain time and some of these cells begin to take on a different structu-
re from the others. This process is not evident at first, but with every pas-
sing day, it becomes clear that the purpose of this activity is to bring into
being, quickly and according to a program, the functions indispensable
for the construction of the human body. All the cells, very much like wor-
kers dispatched to a job, go to work in groups. Later, the groups of cells
which are to form the same organ join one another to form one mass and
prepare to form the organs. As a result of this intense activity, some cells
will become bone cells, while others will become skin and muscle cells. 24
The bone cells gather at the places where the bones must be. The
muscle cells congregate at the places where the muscles must be. Some
cells go to even deeper places and begin to form the internal organs. So-
me form the brain, some the eyes and others the blood vessels. In time,
new processes are added; for example, the movement of the cells to their
destined places and the construction of some organs by the programmed
death of certain cells, etc. In short, in the course of this differentiation, a
perfect strategy is employed in which the cells perform their activity ac-
cording to a definite plan.
The inspiration as to how this preparation is to be made is introdu-
ced separately into every group of cells. The information written in the
DNA of every cell is the same. But only when every cell group uses this
information in the program which has been placed within the ambit of its
own instinct, can they form the special structures needed for the organs to
perform their functions. Besides this kind of differentiation, constant divi-
sion causes their numbers to increase. This perfect organization never
falls into anarchy. Because of these preparations made for the formation
of the heart, eye, brain, arm, leg and other organs, the body slowly takes
shape. 25
