Breathing, eating, walking, etc,
are very natural human functions. But most people do not
think how these basic actions take place. For example, when
you eat a fruit, you do not think how it will be made useful
to your body. The only thing on your mind is eating a healthy
meal; at the same time, your body is involved in extremely
detailed processes unimaginable to you in order to make
this meal a health-giving thing.The
digestive system where these detailed processes take place
starts to function as soon as a piece of food is taken into
the mouth. Being involved in the system right at the outset,
the saliva wets the food and helps it to be ground by the
teeth and slide down the oesophagus.The
oesophagus helps the food be transported to the stomach
where a perfect balance is at work. Here, the food is digested
by the hydrochloric acid present in the stomach. This acid
is so strong that it has the capacity to dissolve not only
the food but also the stomach walls. Of course, such a flaw
is not permitted in this perfect system. A secretion called
mucus which is secreted during digestion covers all the
walls of the stomach and provides a perfect protection against
the destructive effect of the hydrochloric acid. Thus the
stomach is prevented from destroying itself.The
point that deserves attention here is that evolution can
by no means explain the system briefly summarised earlier.
Evolution maintains that today's complex organisms have
evolved from primitive beings by the gradual accumulation
of small structural changes. However, as stated clearly,
the system in the stomach could in no way have been formed
step by step. The absence of even one factor would bring
about the death of the organism.When
food is received into the stomach, the gastric juices acquire
the ability to break down food as a result of a series of
chemical changes. Now, imagine a living being in the so-called
evolutionary process in whose body such a planned chemical
transformation is not possible. This living being, unable
to acquire this ability, would not be able to digest the
food it ate and would starve to death with an undigested
mass of food in its stomach.In
addition, during the secretion of this dissolving acid,
the stomach walls simultaneously have to produce the secretion
called mucus. Otherwise, the acid in the stomach would destroy
the stomach. Therefore, in order for life to continue, the
stomach must secrete both fluids (acid and mucus) at the
same time. This shows that not a step-by-step coincidental
evolution but a conscious creation with all its systems
must, in effect, have been at work.What
all this shows is that the human body resembles a huge factory
made up of many small machines that work together in perfect
harmony. Just as all factories have a designer, an engineer
and a planner, the human body has an Exalted Creator.
