The head section of the sperm has a protective armour. (1-2) Under this armour there is a sec-
ond armour, and under it is the cargo that the sperm carries. (3-4) This armour will protect the
valuable cargo inside it, that is, genetic information, from the harmful materials around it. This
protective armour is very strong, yet is designed to open easily at the appropriate moment. (5).
For example, during fertilisation this protective armour in the head of the sperm opens and re-
leases the dissolving enzymes inside it. (6) The fact that this wonderful design has been placed
in a microscopic cell is an example of God's flawless creation.
