Page 219 - The Miracle in the Cell Membrane

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

The way that cells bind to one another selectively is
another of their most important features. According to
the biologist John P. Trinkhaus:

The adhesions that cells make with one another lie at the very
basis of multicellularity. The form and functioning of all crea-
tures that consist of more than one cell depend on their cells
adhering firmly to one another and to the extracellular mate-
rials that intervene. 70
The way cells selectively attach to other cells around
them also depends on the properties of the cell mem-
brane. With such features as viscosity, density and elec-
trical activity, the double-layered phospholipids cell
membrane is the most suitable structure for making life
possible. The phenomena taking place in the cell mem-
brane should require consciousness and intellect. How
does a cell membrane, a combination of unconscious
molecules, recognize another cell? How does it know that
it must attach to other cells to form an organ, and how it
can do so? This property of the cell is one of the examples
of our Lord's dominion over living things.
