A PERFECT ARMY SET ON ITS GOAL

to the fertilisation of the egg. These steps are completed as a result of tho-
usands of ever more complex chemical reactions in which several proteins,
enzymes and fluids are also involved. But it is especially important to re-
member that it is not our intention here in enumerating these details sim-
ply to impart scientific knowledge; our intention is to point out the truth
that, contrary to what the evolutionists claim, the formation of a human
being is too complex ever to have been the product of blind chance: it is the
result rather of the flawless operation of complementary, interdependent
and intricate systems. It is not possible for a human being, or even one
single enzyme or molecule that activates the sperm, to come into being by
chance.
On this point we have talked about how a sperm cell produced in the
male body acquires the ability to fertilise an egg with the help of chemi-
cal substances in the female body. Now let's pause and think: Could such
a complex system come into being in stages by chance as the theory of
evolution claims? Certainly, such a thing is impossible, but once more let
us consider such a scenario.
A sperm produced by chance in the male body first comes into contact
with a female body. Would it, as a matter of chance, find the fluids that al-
low the sperm to acquire its ability to fertilise, all ready and waiting for it? If
not, upon the failure of the first sperm reaching the female reproductive sys-
tem to perform its fertilisation function, would the female reproductive cells
make a decision and begin to produce the required chemical substances?
It is beyond doubt that these two examples do not accord well with
logic or intelligence; they are scenarios that could never happen. In the
examples we have given on this point, one truth confronts us: all these
systems are each a proof of the endless knowledge and power of God
Who created everything. God has created in the depths of the human
body wonders that are too small for the eye to see and beyond the capa-
city of the human mind to comprehend. By this, He points out that there
are proofs for faith that occur in the body, which are totally independent
of human will and knowledge. And He reminds us that His dominion is
over everything, including human beings themselves.
