much of which substances the body will use, and how surpluses are to
be stored or expelled, are also included in this specific blueprint.

*On the other hand, DNA also determines how the cells in the im-
mune system are to exchange information. In the event of a tissue be-
ing wounded or infected, for instance, the immune system initiates re-
actions. Defense cells identify the site of the wound in a very short time
to counter-attack the microbes entering the body through the injury.
They then analyze the threat and transmit messages that begin the war
against those microbes.
Whole libraries of books could be written about the details in the
human body, both known and as yet undiscovered. All are parts of a

blueprint recorded in the DNA's data bank. In short, DNA acts as a
planning center in every living thing, literally undertaking the respon-
sibilities of architects, engineers, scent experts, botanists, laboratory
technicians, interior designers, designers, artists, doctors and countless
other experts and scientists. At every moment, Our Almighty Lord cre-
ates and controls these molecules that are in constant operation so that
you can read these lines, see, breathe, think and in short, remain alive.
This fact is revealed in one verse of the Qur'an:
[Hud said,] "I have put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord. The-
re is no creature He does not hold by the forelock. My Lord is on a Stra-
ight Path." (Surah Hud, 56)
As a very simple example, compare the information in DNA with
a book. Obviously, no book can write itself. Even if we assume that this

was in some way possible, it still will be absolutely impossible for any-
thing written in that book to be meaningful. Based on this analogy,
Prof. Phillip Johnson states that random coincidences can have no such
power, ability or intelligence:
. . . just everybody (including Richard Dawkins) agrees that it is essential-
ly impossible to produce a coherent book of average length by randomly
combining letters, spaces and punctuation marks. Even a single sen-
