ADNAN OKTAR

The way that recep tors on the tongue pos sess spe cial gaps pre-
deter mined for them is a great cre a tion. The prop er ty of the mol e cu les
that make sweets taste sweet, or bit ter things taste bit ter, has been spe -
cial ly set out, and the tongue's regions have been so cre at ed as to bond
to these mol e cu les. Planning and intel li gence are nec es sa ry for all these
things to have taken place.
It is sure ly no coin ci dence that a mech a nism in the tongue should
be able to per ceive the fla vors in foods. It is a great bless ing cre at ed by
Allah for human beings. The forms of mol e cu les invis i ble to the naked
eye give rise to dif fer ent sen sa tions and dif fer ent tast es, and the tongue
has been created in line with them. It is impos si ble for the tongue to
have devel oped inde pend ent ly of the taste mol e cu les out side in the
envi ron ment. This linked cre a tion clear ly dem on strates that taste mol e -
cu les and the tongue are not inde pend ent of each anoth er, and that both
are the work of the same Creator.
