THE ROLE OF THE EGG CELL IN THE FORMATION OF A NEW HUMAN BEING

marvellous proofs of creation, is chance; but there is no room for chance in
the complex structure of the human body or of any other living thing.
At this point, we must recall that, in the course of all these events, the
intelligence and conscience we encounter do not belong to any cell. What
we call a cell has no eyes to see with, to tongue to speak or be understo-
od with, and no ears to hear with. Cells are the creation of God; they are
only the means of carrying out His commands; and at every moment, by
His inspiration, they effect processes too wondrous ever to have come
from themselves.

Above we see the internal structure of the uterus. A
special system has been created in the female body
that takes into account every eventuality that may occur
in the production of the egg and in the completion of its
journey. For example, the millions of cells in a fallopian
tube are responsible for making the egg reach the uterus. At
the side we see a picture of a fallopian tube where the ripened
egg lands.
