                             Outside the Cell

                             Researches on bacteria revealed very surprising results.
                        Bacteria release receptor molecules to their environment, each
                        of which sounds their alarm in varying acidic and alkaline lev-
                        els when they detect changing conditions. These triggered re-
                        ceptors in turn trigger other molecules and this information is
                        communicated to the cell and its neighbors. This is indeed a
                                                                  69
                        very interesting phenomenon. The cell sending out messenger
                        molecules to be informed of the changes in the environment,

                        and the fact that each are precisely tuned to different environ-
                        mental values and that the obtained information is sent back to
                        the cell as a result of an molecular chain reaction, is an example
                        of superior creation.
                             Different acid levels are shown with different colors. It is
                        miracle that there are molecules in charge of letting the cells
                        know of the acid levels in the environment. This surprising art

                        in the bacteria is the creation of God.


                             Acid-Base Homeostasis in the Cell
                             Cell organelles work like a production facility, with nu-

                        merous engineers and workers in a production facility. These
                        staff members are called enzymes. However, in order for every
                        enzyme to work, the environment has to have a certain acid-
                        base homeostasis. The researchers showed that different or-
                        ganelles needed different acid-base balances for their opera-
                        tions. For example, lysosome, the stomach of the cell, needs a
