The hair and the beard are made of a
protein called keratin, seen below.

gain special purposes with these bendings and folds, and as-
sume vital duties inside the body. Just like a flat sheet of paper
being folded according to a deliberate, conscious plan to as-
sume the shape of a vessel or a plane, or just like a steel sheet

used as the hood of a car.
It should be noted that the structure of protein is incom-
parably more complex and organized than a sheet of paper that

is deliberately folded and shaped. Moreover, a protein mole-
cule is so small that it cannot be seen even with a light micro-
scope. The atoms that are made to fit inside such a small space,
first line up according to a plan and design and then bend and

fold according to this plan and design. All these are extraordi-
nary miracles that cannot be compared to any human design.
