continually purified with the help of a
few other fluids.
In the same period along with these
developments, digestive fluids begin to
be secreted in the stomach in order that
the digestive system may be fully prepa-
red. And the cells in the baby's newly
40
formed intestines acquire the ability to
distinguish between sugars and salts and
later to return particular waste products
to the mother's blood. In this way, both
the intestines and the kidneys are put in-
Without amniotic fluid it is not possible for a to action. The amniotic fluid is ingested

by the intestines of the foetus once every
fluid has been produced flawlessly from the
time of the first human being until today. This three hours, that is, eight times a day and
invalidates the claim of the evolutionists that
is returned to the mother via the blood. As
this development occurred by changes which
happened stage by stage over a period of time. much fluid as is ingested is released to the
pool of amniotic fluid both from the mot-
her's womb and from the lungs and kidneys of the foetus where it is produ-
ced. In this way, the amount of this fluid, so vitally important for the foetus,
remains constant. Because of this perfect system, the digestive system of the
foetus is put into operation without any harm to the foetus.
Synchronized with the growth of the foetus, the amount of amniotic
fluid increases, reaching about 30 ml at ten weeks, 350 ml at five months,
and 1 litre by the seventh month. At the moment of birth however, the
amount of fluid falls to half a litre. 41
The amniotic fluid not only prepares the digestive system for the
post-birth period, but also ensures that the baby may move more comfor-
tably in the mother's womb. The foetus floats in this fluid like a rowboat
tied up in a harbour. In this state it can move very securely in the mother's
womb. At the same time, this fluid protects the foetus from any physical
trauma from outside. Pressure applied on the fluid from any direction is
dispersed equally in every direction protecting the foetus from any harm-
