A PERFECT ARMY SET ON ITS GOAL

degree of foresight, it adds a chemical material (prostaglandin) to its own
make-up that will bring about these contractions. Think of asking any
chemist to produce such a reaction; what would he do?
First he would examine the sperm, its structure and the requirements
for fertilisation to occur. Later he would try to learn about the female
body, its hormones, the egg, the fallopian tubes which carry the egg to the
uterus, the uterus, the tissues of the uterus, the nerve system that causes
the contractions and many other details. Then, combining his years of
education and experience he will discover the material substances which
exert an influence on these things; he will take them, and by way of expe-
riment and research he will find out in what proportions these substances
must be combined. A human being possessed of consciousness may per-
haps be able to do this with a lot of devoted and time-consuming effort.
However, what accomplishes these things is not a chemist who has
become an expert in this field after years of study. It is cells, tissues and
organs produced by unconscious atoms and molecules. All the same, it is
not possible to assert that this collection of cells has a higher intelligence
and a greater knowledge than a chemist, or that they perform these func-
tions at the bidding of their own will.
There is no doubt that this fluid produced in the male reproductive
system and designed in such a way as to influence the female reproducti-
ve system, together with the cells, tissues and organs that produce it are a
clear proof of God's creation.
It is evident that this whole interrelated system cannot be the work
of chance. A person of intelligence and conscience will immediately grasp
that these wondrous occurrences that happen flawlessly in the bodies of
every human being that has ever lived are the work of a supreme intelli-
gence and an eternal power, and he will serve God, to Whom alone be-
longs this eternal intelligence and power.
O mankind! Have fear of your Lord Who created you from a single
self and created its mate from it and then disseminated many men and
women from the two of them. Heed God in Whose name you make de-
mands on one another as well as any ties of kinship. God watches over
