THE MIRACLE OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
How then has the defence system possessed the ability to distinguish
the various different structures from each other? Can this be the result of
unconscious coincidences as the theory of evolution suggests? It is cer-
tainly impossible for structures made up of unconscious atoms to coinci-
dentally acquire this selection ability that requires such consciousness, in-
formation and intelligence.
When specially designed structures of lymphocytes enabling them to
make the right choise is investigated, it will be understood how illogical
and unreasonable the claim of evolutionists is.
A defence cell developed within the bone marrow or the thymus
would be killed or inactivated if it reacted to the products of the body. A
mature lymphocyte faces the same consequence in case it attacks the bod-
y’s own products. That is to say that any element of the defence system
likely to harm the body is either killed or forced to commit suicide obey-
ing the command it receives.
However, if a T cell is confronted by another body cell, it does not at-
