chan nels open as the result of chan ges in the elec tri cal

These mes sa ges are trans mit ted at great speed.
Despite the rec og ni tion and selec tion proc ess es, pas sage

is no delay or decel er a tion dur ing the course of selec tion.
Indeed, ions are car ried so rap id ly that mes sa ges are

in a nerve cell, and mil lions of ion flows take place in a

genes.

Allah reveals His com pas sion for human beings as fol-

". . . He has given you every thing you have asked Him
for. If you tried to num ber Allah's bless ings, you could
never count them. . . ." (Surah Ibrahim, 34)
