Page 114 - Design in Nature

There is an equally
flawless design in the
reproductive systems
of cuttlefish. The eggs
of these fish have sticky
surfaces that enable them
to adhere to cavities in the
deeps of the sea. The embryo
consumes the nutrients
provided inside the egg until it is
ready to hatch. The embryo breaks
the egg casing with a small brushlike
patch on its tail. This feature disappears
39
shortly after hatching. Every little detail
has been designed and functions as it is
designed to do. All of this miraculous creation
is nothing but an expression of the infinite
knowledge of Allah.
