function, and going straight to the ovary, it announces that the time has
come for the maturation of the egg. At this, the egg cells immediately un-
derstand the command and begin an intense activity inside the ovary, le-
ading to the maturation of the egg. 12
Now, let us examine this information more deeply. How does this
tiny secretory gland called the hypothalamus determine the time? And
how does it calculate the exact timing of this process, which has occurred
in millions of women past and present, without getting confused? The
hypothalamus is located at the base of the brain; it is not a timing mecha-
nism, it has no relation with the world outside the brain; it is a piece of
flesh composed of cells. The function of this piece of flesh in determining
time is an extraordinary thing that cannot be ignored. But this is just a tiny
detail of the wondrous occurrences that happen continuously in the hu-
man body. This kind of astounding process continues endlessly, at every
moment and in every square millimetre of the human body. For example,
an amazing miracle happens in the pituitary gland: a command sent by
the hypothalamus is read and understood; on the basis of this understan-
ding a decision is made; according to this decision, substances are produ-
ced and sent with other productive material without error to a distant and
hitherto unseen area. The pituitary gland is also a collection of cells. The
coming together of these cells and their conscious understanding of the
commands sent to them and their carrying out a command they have un-
derstood is an extraordinary thing. What consciousness makes it possible
for this collection of cells to "understand", "conceive", "draw conclusions",
"arrive at decisions" and "put the decision into effect"?
The human body is a dark environment into which light does not pe-
netrate and where many fluids move at great speed through the vessels; it is
a dense and complicated place. No evolutionist has ever been able to expla-
in how a mass of molecules in this dense environment can go where it wants
in the complex mass by crossing over other materials many times its own si-
ze and without suffering harm or loss, or how they can even use some me-
ans to send some other substances to the places where they are needed. This
is because evolutionists' sole refuge, when they come face to face with these
