This fact is actually very well
known by the scientists of our day.
Yet, obviously, when they accept this
fact, they will equally be obliged to
accept the existence of a Creator.
This is something which most of
them are very reluctant to do.
The world renowned bio-
chemist Michael J. Behe states that
evolutionists disregard some facts
for the sake of denying the being of
Allah:
Lymphocytes at war (yellow), fighting Also, and unfortunately, too often criti-
with cancer cells. cisms have been dismissed by the scien-
tific community for fear of giving am-
munition to creationists. It is ironic that in the name of protecting science,
trenchant scientific criticism of natural selection has been brushed aside. 8
Lymphocytes, the products of this mysterious transformation, which
is one of the facts ignored, play a very interesting role in the defence sys-
tem. They check on the body cells several times a day to see if there are
any sick cells. If they find any sick or old cells, they destroy them. There
are almost 100 trillion cells in our body and lymphocytes make up only
1%.
Now, imagine a country having an exceedingly high population,
around 100 trillion. The number of health care workers (lymphocytes)
would then be 1 trillion. If we think that the world’s current population is
some 7 billion, the number of the people living in our imaginary country
would be almost 14 million 285 thousand times the world’s population.
Would it be possible for all the members of a country with such a high
