THE MIRACLE OF HUMAN CREATION

placenta, and returning wastes to the placenta, so swiftly that a round trip
is completed in about thirty seconds. In this way, the blood begins to take
36
the required oxygen and nutrients from the placenta and carry them to the
cells. At the moment the kidneys are formed, the blood begins to be purifi-
ed by taking waste gathered from baby's cells to the kidneys.
Let us pause here to consider: Is it possible that such a perfect system
could one day come into being by chance, perfectly and by itself? Is it pos-
sible that the special quality of a baby's blood, the blood vessels that carry
the blood to the heart and from the heart to the appropriate areas, and the
elements that bind the blood cells to the placenta came about in the cour-
se of time by chance? Is it possible that all these elements in the system
constructed themselves?
It is surely not. This system, of the utmost importance for human be-
ings, must come into being perfectly and in one moment, because any
problem with the formation of the blood or the blood vessels will cause
the development of the embryo to cease. If the heart pumped the blood
before the formation of the blood vessels, the blood would flow uncont-
rolled and there would be no circulation. Or, if the heart did not begin to
beat at the right time, blood would not circulate through the body. This

means that the embryo would die without developing in the mother's
womb. However, in every one of the millions of people who have lived
throughout the ages until today, there has been no problem with these
operations; the heart makes its first beat at exactly the right time and
pumps just enough blood to the developing body. This makes the questi-
on we posed earlier nonsensical: "Could it have happened by chance?"
The fact that a system, a living being or an organism comes into being in
a moment is clear proof that it has been created. This is a plain truth that
every intelligent person will affirm.
The Creator of all these perfect systems is God, Who created man to-
gether with everything he needs and gave him the best of forms.
