                                   Cells on Duty in the System


                 Indeed, the mystery of the signaling between cells has not been
            solved yet.
                 A stem cell would normally be expected to divide to form two new
            cells bearing the same features. However, a switch hidden in one of the
            cells is turned on causing a sudden transformation in the cell. This new
            cell is the T cell that will fight for the human body. This leads us to ask the
            following question:
                 Why does a cell transform itself into a totally different cell?

                 Science has not answered this question yet. Science can answer the
            question of how the cell transforms itself, but it can never explain why the
            cell would want to become a fighter cell. Nor can it explain who pro-
            grammed the cell to become a cell that defends the body when the need
            arises.
                 Only those who acknowledge the being of Allah can fully compre-
            hend the answers to these questions.

                                                 orders to kill from a
                                                 dendritic cell (bottom

                                                 macrophage (bottom
