       The genetic data from the
       mother and father are ex-
       changed diagonally.
                  the mother and from the father. . . by this stage, the number of possible
                    combinations runs into the multiples of trillions. With this vast poten-
                     tial for variety, it is not surprising that no two humans are identical.
                     With all this genetic promiscuity, it's amazing that the vast majority
                    of births produce normal-looking kids. 115

                       We have already mentioned the dangerous consequences of
                 errors in the DNA helix. Bearing in mind, too, that very small rear-
              rangements in genes can also have highly negative results, the way
              that flawless human beings emerge from a combination of such data
             banks is one of the proofs of Allah's infinite might. In one verse, our
             Almighty Lord states that:
                  He is Allah–the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him belong
                  the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and Earth glori-
                        fies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surat al-Hashr, 24)
