During all these events, the cells function just like construction
teams working closely together in a process calling for the greatest care

and attention. Each "member" cell has a complete knowledge of the
blueprint, letting them all work with communication and intense coop-
eration. How does such advanced order come about? How do cells
know where to go, which organ they will develop and what to do at
their destinations? At the same time, how do they manage to work in
such harmony with other cells?
The Israeli biophysicist Dr. Lee Spetner asks about the miraculous

creation involved here:
How does the development program work, and how is it so perfect? As
we have seen, development starts with one cell, which divides into two.
The two divide into four, and so on. At some point, the cells differentiate,
which means they change their character. Eventually, some of the cells be-
come one kind of tissue or organ, while other cells become other kinds.
And it happens the same way nearly every time. How does it happen? 110
The answer to these questions is evident: Living things have been

created in a flawless manner, and the artistry and knowledge in that
creation is that of Almighty Allah, the Lord of All. In one verse, we are
told that:
He created the heavens and the Earth with truth and formed you, giv-
ing you the best of forms. And He is your final destination. (Surat at-
Taghabun, 3)
On the other hand, different varieties of proteins are also pro-

duced for various cells. As an embryo develops inside the mother's
body, the DNA in the cells that will constitute its eyes produces only
proteins concerned with vision. In the same way, the DNA in the cells
forming the embryo's brain produce only proteins concerned with the
neurological functions.
