THE MIRACLE OF HUMAN CREATION

fluid is less than required, or if it is not present at all, a series of abnorma-
lities begins to appear. Limbs wither and become deformed, joints fuse,
skin loosens and, because of pressure, the face is deformed. The most se-
rious problem is that the development of the lungs is impeded and the
baby dies immediately after birth. 42
All this shows us that from the first human being until now, the pro-
duction of amniotic fluid has continued flawlessly. Without it, a baby co-
uld not develop in its mother's womb. This fact completely discredits the
evolutionists' claim that development occurs stage by stage over a period
of time. If one single stage in the creation of a new human being did not
occur, for example, as we said just now, if the production of amniotic flu-
id were deficient, birth could never take place and the human race would
never have come into existence. Therefore, it cannot be claimed that am-
niotic fluid began to be produced over a period of time when the need for
it arose. This fluid must exist along with the baby. It is impossible to cla-
im that such a fluid, which has such important functions, was formed in
a moment by chance. To say that a complex organism came to exist in a
moment is to say that this organism was created. It is impossible for chan-
ce actions to calculate, determine needs, to select the things appropriate
for these needs and apply them at the right time and in the right place.
It is clear that God creates the amniotic fluid and the systems to which
it is connected. He too determines the amount of amniotic fluid required.

God knows what every female bears and every shrinking of the womb
and every swelling. Everything has its measure with Him. (Qur'an, 13: 8)

Preparations for the First Breath

After birth the most important thing for the baby is to breathe; it is
necessary that the lungs, which had never known air before, fill with it
and start to breathe. The baby, who had previously received oxygen from
the mother's blood, must now take it from the air with his own lungs. And
in a miraculous way, the lungs, when had never taken a breath before the
first moment of birth, begin to breathe quite normally.
