THE MIRACLE OF HUMAN CREATION

which no mother could do on her own. It is God Who determines all the
needs for a new human being to come into the world and constructs the
system in the way that will best respond to these needs.

The Preparations Are Completed

As the foetus gradually gets prepared for life in the outside world, an
extraordinary team of workers is organized among the organs. The work
that will be done is determined according to the conditions in the outside
world. The eyes, unused in the mother's womb, are constructed for the in-
tensity of the world's light; the ears are made for the world's sounds. In
the same way, the stomach and the other digestive organs are equipped
with a physiological system designed to function in relation to this
world's nutrient material. The cells of the digestive system are program-
med and adjusted so as to digest food they have never encountered.
Along with their ability to analyse carbohydrates and fats, they are prog-
rammed to know which nutrients are required by which organs and to en-
sure that these nutrients are sent to the relevant cells in the body. So, the
foetus is prepared for the outside world in a planned and programmed
way. Here we must point out again that these organs and cells that cons-
titute the body of a new human being make these preparations for an en-
vironment that they have never seen, heard of or otherwise experienced.
They develop as if they were aware of the environment that was waiting
for them after leaving the mother's body. Certainly it is impossible to cla-
im that these cells accomplish these acts by their own prescience. The
conscious and deliberate preparations made by the cells in forming a
baby's body, inspired in them by God, must be considered as an impor-

tant proof of creation.
In the final months, the foetus begins to gain weight. Certain cells
produce a fat layer which is named "brown fat" because it has a brownish
colour. The special brown fat develops in particular areas of the foetus
such as the nape of the neck, around the kidneys and behind breastbone.
In addition to providing insulation, brown fat itself produces heat. The
