Man: The living machine

The human body, a totally separate world ofits own, resembles a living
"machine." Inside that machine there is equipment with a technology
far superior to any advanced technology outside, specialized elements
displaying consciousness, by the will of Allah, fully equipped
soldiers and many other systems. It is our Lord, Almighty Allah, Lord
of the Worlds, who creates this order in the systems in the body and
the sublime design visible at every point.
BRAIN / COMPUTER
Every nerve cell possesses special units for transmitting data. All by
itself, the brain is capable of performing the work of 4.5 million
transistors that permit the transmission of data by the microprocessor
ina good computer. This figure is very low compared to the 10 billion
nerve cells engaged in the electricalexchange of informationin the
brain. In addition, while the brain is able toperceive taste and smell
signals, there is as yet noproduct of industry capable of doing this.
MUSCLE AND BONE / CENTRAL HEATING-AIR CONDITIONING
The movement of the muscles warms the body in cold weather. In this
way the muscles are ableto provide 90% of body heat. Perspiration, on
the other hand, functions as an ideal cooling mechanism in the event
of overheating. These two complementary systems work to keep the body
temperature stable under all circumstances. This system works much
faster, and with much better results, than any central heating or air
conditioning system.
HORMONES / THE MAIL SYSTEM
Everything in the body isin a state of communication. Many messages
consist of hormones, made up of large molecules. There is no
destination address on the message packet carried by hormones, which
travel freely through the circulatory system and neurons. Yet,the
package still reaches its destination because the organs to open it
areequipped with special receptors to capture these messages.
KIDNEYS/ PURIFICATION FACILITIES
Thanks to up to a millionmini-filters known as nephrons, the human
kidney filters 140 liters of blood a day. Over the course of 80 years
around 1 deciliter a minute (one-tenth of a liter) is constantly
subjected to this filtration process. Processing facilities, used for
industrial wastes, have a greater capacity than that of kidneys.
However, their life spans are incomparably shorter. Moreover, the
structure of the substances being filtered is much simpler than that
of blood. The kidney has a far more complex and efficient system than
any filtration facility
THE HEART / PUMPING SYSTEMS
The heart starts beating while still in the mother's womb and works
non-stop at a rateof 70-200 beats a minutethroughout one's life. It
rests for at least half a second between beats. Itbeats approximately
10,000 times a day. At the time of resting, the heart of someone
weighing 60 kilos pumpsan average of 6.5 liters of blood. During one's
life time the heart pumps enough blood to fill 500 swimming pools with
a volume of 300 m3. Man-made pumping systems are unable to function as
efficiently without requiring any maintenance.
ARM / LEVER
The arm works like a lever. It uses the elbow as a fulcrum and
establishes movement bystretching and contracting the muscles. Levers
operate on the same principle. Yet, Levers have to show the same
effort no matter what weight is involved,whereas the arm muscles are
capable of adjusting their contraction accordingly.
EYE / CAMERA
The retina layer in the eye is the most light-sensitive of all known
materials. Different typesof light-perceiving cells are arranged so as
to provide the best image of the field of vision. Theeye also focuses
automatically and adjusts its sensitivity according to the intensity
of light outside.Such features make the eye far more superior to any
camera or photographic equipment in the world.
EAR / HI-FI
Hairy cells in the human inner ear convert vibrations in the air into
electrical signals, like a microphone. The ear only perceives sounds
between frequencies of 20-20,000 Hz. This range is the ideal specially
selected for human beings. If the human hearing range had been any
wider, we would be able to detect the footsteps of an ant walking on
the ground or the high-frequency sound waves in the atmosphere. Living
in such a constant state of noise would mean that human beings would
never enjoy neither peace nor comfort.
IMMUNE SYSTEM / ARMY
Our organisms are beingprotected by some 200 billion lymphocytes
(white blood corpuscles). These have intelligence systems, lethal
weapons and particular war strategies, similar to thatof soldiers.
Nevertheless,no army in the world is as accurate, flawless, and
successful as the immune system. (Harun Yahya, SIGNS OF GOD Design in
Nature)
CELL / ENGINE
In terms of fuel, the cell is a very economical engine. It burns small
molecules namely ATP as fuel. The efficiency it maintains in using
these molecules is greater than that of any engine. The cell also
performs various and highly complex functions whichtechnological
devices are not able to perform.
