THE MIRACLE OF HUMAN CREATION

ited to itself and determine that it is necessary to attach itself to that pla-
ce is really an amazing thing. By its behaviour, this tiny collection of cells
shows the ability to calculate its needs and to act according to this calcu-
lation. Yet, it is even more amazing that it knows how to make this attach-
ment and that a few cells have the special ability to achieve it. It is
certainly not possible that these cells, by using their intelligence and its
will, analyse the hyaluronic acid on the wall of the uterus and begin the
secretion of the hyaluronidase enzyme which will dissolve it.
As we explained earlier, unless a person has had special training in
chemistry, he cannot give an explanation for this. However, a few cells ha-
ve this chemical information and use it to perform their vital function in
producing what is required to sustain their existence. Moreover, this ext-
raordinary function is performed, not by a single cell alone, but by the

cells that have formed every human being, past and present, that has ever
existed.
As can be seen in what we have said on this point, in the formation
of the cell cluster which will later form the embryo and in the changes un-
dergone by the cells which shelter it, there is a definite and conscious
plan. At exactly the right time, the cells which compose the fallopian tube
undergo a change and, at a precise moment, the cells which surround the
outer surface of the cell cluster begin to secrete an enzyme (hyaluronida-
se). This conscious plan shows that these functions that occur in the hu-
man body are controlled by a superior intelligence.
It is He Who forms you in the womb however He wills. There is no
god but Him, the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Qur'an, 3: 6)

Cells That Perform Various Functions

On the eighth day, the cells begin to differentiate and they arrange
themselves into two distinct groupings, an inner and an outer one. The in-
ner cell mass (embryoblast), forms the cells that the embryo will possess
