00:01:18,380 Pyramids, palaces, cathedrals, mosques. 4 00:01:18,380 --> 00:01:26,380 Each emerges from the calculations of expert architects, from the joint efforts and cooperation 5 00:01:26,380 --> 00:01:27,380 of thousands of people. 6 00:01:27,380 --> 00:01:41,380 Architecture is a field where the concepts of art and aesthetics imparted to mankind by 7 00:01:41,380 --> 00:01:45,380 God are exhibited. 8 00:01:45,380 --> 00:01:52,380 But did you know that there are architects in nature just as skilled as their human counterparts? 9 00:01:52,380 --> 00:01:58,380 The U.S. Department of State 10 00:01:58,380 --> 00:02:01,380 For example, the U.S. Department of State 11 00:02:01,380 --> 00:02:04,380 The U.S. Department of State 12 00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:06,380 The U.S. Department of State 13 00:02:06,380 --> 00:02:36,360 Transcription by CastingWords 14 00:02:36,380 --> 00:03:05,120 Animals in nature attract our attention with the structure of their bodies in particular. 15 00:03:06,380 --> 00:03:13,320 The cheetah possesses a perfect skeleton and muscle systems for it to run. 16 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:25,260 The eagle possesses the world's best aerodynamic design. 17 00:03:25,260 --> 00:03:31,920 The dolphin has especially created skin and body so it can swim in the water. 18 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:45,120 These flawless designs in animals' bodies are each proof to remind us that every species of living thing was created by God. 19 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:53,240 But possessing a perfect body is not enough. 20 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,660 The animal also has to know how to use that body. 21 00:03:56,660 --> 00:04:08,660 A bird's wings are only of any use when it succeeds in taking flight, soaring and then landing with them. 22 00:04:08,660 --> 00:04:26,200 When we look at the living world through these eyes, we see a most interesting truth. 23 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:32,340 Each animal behaves in the most appropriate manner for the conditions that surround it. 24 00:04:32,340 --> 00:04:45,940 Furthermore, this behavior occurs right from the moment of birth. 25 00:04:45,940 --> 00:04:55,200 It takes only half an hour for a newborn antelope to stand up and run. 26 00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:11,800 Baby turtles, buried under the sand by their mother turtle, know they have to break out of their shells and head for the surface. 27 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:19,040 Furthermore, they have been taught that as soon as they emerge, they have to reach the sea. 28 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,220 It is almost as if animals come into this world fully trained. 29 00:05:26,220 --> 00:05:45,060 And the most amazing example of this amazing education animals have is the homes they so expertly build for themselves. 30 00:05:45,060 --> 00:05:59,680 They are in their homes, too. 31 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:29,100 When you go into the country on a sunny day, 32 00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:32,500 the enchanting beauty of flowers draws your attention. 33 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,920 When you examine the flowers a bit more closely, 34 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,620 you come across another interesting creature. 35 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:40,820 This is the honeybee, 36 00:06:40,820 --> 00:06:43,540 the most disciplined of nature's architects. 37 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,800 Honeybees live in colonies 38 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,600 and produce one of the world's most perfect foods, honey. 39 00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:05,540 They store the honey in the hexagonal honeycombs they build. 40 00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:11,600 But have you ever wondered 41 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,080 why bees always make their combs hexagonal? 42 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,260 Mathematicians sought the answer to this question 43 00:07:19,260 --> 00:07:21,600 and after lengthy calculations 44 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,760 came to an interesting conclusion. 45 00:07:25,060 --> 00:07:27,340 The best way of building a storehouse 46 00:07:27,340 --> 00:07:29,080 with the greatest capacity 47 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,080 but using the least possible amount of materials 48 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,260 is to make the wools hexagonal. 49 00:07:35,260 --> 00:07:36,940 Let us consider the other shapes. 50 00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:40,240 If bees built their combs as cylinders 51 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,500 or as pentagonal prisms, 52 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,860 then gaps would emerge between them 53 00:07:44,860 --> 00:07:47,240 and less honey could be stored in the combs. 54 00:07:54,660 --> 00:07:56,980 A honey store of triangles or squares 55 00:07:56,980 --> 00:07:59,380 could be built without leaving any gaps. 56 00:08:00,660 --> 00:08:04,040 But here, mathematicians realized a crucial point. 57 00:08:06,540 --> 00:08:08,480 Of all these geometric shapes, 58 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,920 the one with the shortest circumference 59 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:11,900 is the hexagon. 60 00:08:14,020 --> 00:08:14,860 For this reason, 61 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,000 although they cover the same area, 62 00:08:17,620 --> 00:08:19,640 less material is needed for hexagons 63 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,340 than for squares and triangles. 64 00:08:28,020 --> 00:08:29,060 In short, 65 00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:31,000 a hexagonal comb 66 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,220 is the best shape 67 00:08:32,220 --> 00:08:34,440 for ensuring maximum storage capacity 68 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,160 with minimum wax. 69 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:47,000 Another surprising fact about bees 70 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,480 is their cooperation 71 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,120 in building their combs. 72 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,520 When someone sees a completed comb, 73 00:08:59,620 --> 00:09:00,540 he may well imagine 74 00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:02,480 that it was built as a single block. 75 00:09:04,900 --> 00:09:07,640 But bees actually start building their combs 76 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,460 from completely different points. 77 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,160 Hundreds of bees set about building the comb 78 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,180 from three or four different places. 79 00:09:17,260 --> 00:09:18,760 They continue building 80 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,500 until they meet in the middle. 81 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,120 There is not the slightest imperfection 82 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,420 at the juncture. 83 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,280 Bees also calculate the angle 84 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,320 of the individual cells to each other 85 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,640 when building their comb. 86 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,940 The back-to-back comb cells 87 00:09:37,940 --> 00:09:38,980 are always built 88 00:09:38,980 --> 00:09:41,500 at an angle of 13 degrees to the ground. 89 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,080 That way, 90 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,680 both sides of the comb 91 00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:46,740 slope upwards. 92 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,720 This angle prevents the honey 93 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,140 spilling out of the combs. 94 00:09:52,780 --> 00:09:54,360 Wherever we go in the world, 95 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,500 honeybees manage this extraordinary architecture 96 00:09:57,500 --> 00:09:59,420 perfectly every time. 97 00:09:59,420 --> 00:10:04,440 and they do it in the depths of the hive 98 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,840 in pitch dark 99 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,660 where sunlight cannot reach. 100 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,900 There is a very interesting truth here. 101 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,140 Bees exhibit these extraordinary characteristics 102 00:10:25,140 --> 00:10:26,640 from the moment they are born. 103 00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:31,260 They do not learn over time 104 00:10:31,260 --> 00:10:32,800 by observing the comb structure 105 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:33,620 and direction. 106 00:10:34,740 --> 00:10:36,560 From the moment they open their eyes, 107 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:37,900 they possess the skill. 108 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,120 So who is teaching bees 109 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,760 this architectural art? 110 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:52,280 The answer to this question 111 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,860 is given in the Holy Quran. 112 00:10:55,220 --> 00:10:55,980 In this book, 113 00:10:56,180 --> 00:10:57,620 which God sent down to men 114 00:10:57,620 --> 00:10:58,920 to show them the true path, 115 00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:00,760 He reveals the secret 116 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,640 of honeybees' superb abilities. 117 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,520 Your Lord inspired the bees. 118 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,020 Make hives in the mountains 119 00:11:10,020 --> 00:11:11,140 and in the trees 120 00:11:11,140 --> 00:11:12,860 and in what they build. 121 00:11:12,860 --> 00:11:18,140 Then eat of all the fruits 122 00:11:18,140 --> 00:11:22,000 and walk in the ways 123 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,700 of your Lord submissively. 124 00:11:26,820 --> 00:11:28,080 From their bellies 125 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,100 comes a drink with different colors 126 00:11:30,100 --> 00:11:32,460 which contains healing for mankind. 127 00:11:34,220 --> 00:11:35,020 Most surely, 128 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,440 there is a sign in this 129 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,220 for people who reflect. 130 00:11:38,220 --> 00:11:46,020 The secret of animals' 131 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,360 extraordinary skills 132 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,800 is the inspiration 133 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,200 given them by God. 134 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,240 And this applies 135 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,980 to all living things, 136 00:11:56,300 --> 00:11:57,600 not just the honeybee. 137 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:04,520 We can see this truth 138 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:05,140 more clearly 139 00:12:05,140 --> 00:12:06,580 when we examine 140 00:12:06,580 --> 00:12:08,520 other architects in nature. 141 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:19,240 The name of God phi 142 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,600 has a job of another. 143 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,960 So, 144 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,960 that is the time 145 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,600 to show you 146 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:28,260 how to learn 147 00:12:28,260 --> 00:12:29,080 the best 148 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:29,840 and discover 149 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,580 the structure 150 00:12:30,580 --> 00:12:35,000 on the same 151 00:12:35,000 --> 00:13:03,500 A short while ago, this small lake you see was a very different place. 152 00:13:03,500 --> 00:13:08,500 To be more accurate, there was no pond here at all until very recently. 153 00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:13,500 There were just hard pebbles lying on dry soil. 154 00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:20,500 But a very industrious group of workers struggled and made a great effort and built this pond. 155 00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:25,500 These industrious workers are the lovely animals known as beavers. 156 00:13:33,500 --> 00:13:47,500 Beavers live together as one big family. 157 00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:53,500 Their homes stand at one side of the pond that they build through their own efforts. 158 00:13:53,500 --> 00:14:10,500 The beaver's story begins with a male and a female beaver moving off to make a new home for themselves. 159 00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:14,500 The beaver pair will make their home on a river. 160 00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:18,500 But first, they have to block the current. 161 00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:28,500 In order to do this, they employ the same method that man has been using for hundreds of years. 162 00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:40,500 They build a dam. 163 00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:46,500 In order to start building the dam, they first have to find materials. 164 00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:53,500 These consist of tree logs and branches. 165 00:14:53,500 --> 00:14:57,500 The beavers start working by going to forested areas beside the river. 166 00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:07,500 First, they eat a few leaves from the trees they find. 167 00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:25,500 But their real task is to cut down the trees and push them over. 168 00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:29,500 This they do by gnawing expertly at the tree trunk. 169 00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:43,500 The interesting side of this is that they gnaw the trees in such a way that when the job comes to an end, 170 00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:47,500 the tree always falls in the direction of the water. 171 00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:06,500 The cutting and pushing over of the tree is still the job's crudest component. 172 00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:12,500 Later, the beavers split the tree up into its component branches 173 00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:17,500 and begin to form a dam by laying them out in front of the biggest log they have pushed over. 174 00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:23,500 And all this time, the only tools they use are their pores and their mouths. 175 00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:29,500 This work continues with great patience. 176 00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:30,500 Two beavers will cut down an average of 400 trees a year. 177 00:16:30,500 --> 00:16:35,500 Two beavers will cut down an average of 400 trees a year. 178 00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:38,500 They divide those trees further away from the dam into their separate branches and drag these to their dam. 179 00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:41,500 And all this time, the only tools they use are their pores and their mouths. 180 00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:48,500 And all this time, the only tools they use are their pores and their mouths. 181 00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:51,500 This work continues with great patience. 182 00:16:51,500 --> 00:17:07,500 The only tools they use to find but the only tools in their enc tes 183 00:17:07,500 --> 00:17:12,500 They work so well. 184 00:17:12,500 --> 00:17:37,060 Beavers always use their front teeth when gnawing at the tree trunks or branches. 185 00:17:37,060 --> 00:17:42,100 As they use them all the time, these front teeth get worn down and break. 186 00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:47,280 But the beaver's jaw is created specially for this job. 187 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:56,040 Its sharp front teeth keep growing just like a person's nails. 188 00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:06,720 The almighty God who created beavers also created their teeth for the job they would have to do. 189 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:17,300 A beaver's body is created in such a way as to make it easier for them to swim in water. 190 00:18:17,300 --> 00:18:23,800 Their feet are webbed so they can easily displace water. 191 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:45,460 Their tail is like a giant paddle thanks to which they can swim comfortably in the water. 192 00:18:45,460 --> 00:18:48,500 The beavers continue their building with great zeal. 193 00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:54,460 They expertly arrange the large tree logs and the small branches and enlarge their dam a little 194 00:18:54,460 --> 00:19:01,460 more every day. 195 00:19:01,460 --> 00:19:02,600 It is. 196 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,820 It is. 197 00:19:04,820 --> 00:19:06,040 It is. 198 00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:09,540 It is. 199 00:19:09,540 --> 00:19:11,880 It is. 200 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:40,600 As the dam grows, 201 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,600 the water that collects in front of it grows higher. 202 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,600 At the end of a few months of labor, 203 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,600 a large pond forms behind the dam. 204 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:20,600 But as this pond grows, 205 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:25,600 the beavers have to strengthen the dam and repair any cracks. 206 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,600 They carry out this difficult task with great patience. 207 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:48,600 The scene that emerges as the result of several months of hard work 208 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,600 is, in a word, magnificent. 209 00:20:51,600 --> 00:21:08,600 A real dam, resembling those made by man, 210 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:21,600 has been formed. 211 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,600 As you notice, beavers make their dams concave. 212 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:35,600 The shape is not one picked by coincidence, 213 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,600 because the form of a dam that best resists water pressure 214 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,600 is a concave dam. 215 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,600 In fact, the modern hydroelectric power dams of our day 216 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,600 are also built concave. 217 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:54,600 In short, beavers possess the construction knowledge 218 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,600 which man attains over time 219 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,600 from the first day of their lives. 220 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,600 So, who gave them that knowledge? 221 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,600 There is no doubt that a living creature 222 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,600 cannot come by the ability to build a dam by chance. 223 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,600 It cannot find the shape of a dam 224 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,600 that will best resist water pressure by accident. 225 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,600 And it cannot pass these abilities 226 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,600 onto subsequent generations. 227 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,600 It is the almighty God 228 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,600 who gives the beaver the skills it possesses, 229 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,600 who creates all living things 230 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,600 and inspires what they do. 231 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:42,600 The beaver's aim in constructing this giant dam 232 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:47,600 is to have a still pond where they can make their nest. 233 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,600 They also make their own nest 234 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,600 while they are constructing the dam. 235 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,600 The nest, or lodge as it is called, 236 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,600 is at the edge of the pond somewhere near the soil. 237 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,600 The lodge, which looks like a pile of wood 238 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:02,600 when seen from above, 239 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,600 is in fact very well designed. 240 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,600 The only way into the lodge is underwater. 241 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,600 In order to get inside it, 242 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,600 it is necessary to go through a hidden tunnel. 243 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,600 This tunnel emerges into a concealed chamber 244 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,600 above the level of the water. 245 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:27,600 The beaver family lives in this dry and secure chamber. 246 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:33,600 Some beavers build the lodge on two floors. 247 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,600 The first floor is an entrance and living room. 248 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,600 The upper floor, a dining room and bedroom. 249 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,600 A beaver lodge has two underwater entrances 250 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,600 and an air vent situated at the top. 251 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,600 Inside this wonderful lodge, 252 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,600 the beavers are not only protected from outside dangers, 253 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,600 but also have a comfortable shelter. 254 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,600 The young open their eyes to the world inside the lodge. 255 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:30,600 After they have grown a little, 256 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,600 they begin to go outside with their parents and meet the world. 257 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:35,640 In their eyes to the house, 258 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:36,600 they're in the island, 259 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,600 which cannot provide prevention for young children. 260 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:39,600 They do notивают a 소개. 261 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,920 It became a Thatse cell phone with uniexed 262 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,600 and yet you do not develop and do not create aожно-style audit 263 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,600 with the coyote, 264 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,600 nhưng the centerpiece is required is not complete. 265 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,600 The road overnight is a way to enter health. 266 00:24:53,600 --> 00:25:13,280 When they are tired from swimming, what they like best is to climb onto their mother's 267 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:37,160 backs. 268 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:42,980 The little pond the beavers form can sometimes be as much as three or four meters deep. 269 00:25:42,980 --> 00:25:47,260 They do not actually need water as deep as this to build their nest. 270 00:25:47,260 --> 00:25:56,880 So in that case, why do they make such a deep pond? 271 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:06,940 The answer to this question becomes apparent in winter. 272 00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:13,860 In winter, the surface of the water freezes and forms a rather thick layer of ice. 273 00:26:13,860 --> 00:26:19,060 If the pond is not deep enough, it will freeze right down to the bottom, and the whole thing 274 00:26:19,060 --> 00:26:24,600 will turn into a block of ice, and this would destroy the beaver's power of movement. 275 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:30,880 The beavers, as if they know this, try to make the small lake as deep as possible. 276 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:36,080 In this way, in winter, a thick layer of water remains under the ice. 277 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:47,860 This is enough for the beavers to move and feed. 278 00:26:47,860 --> 00:26:54,460 When one considers this, it is clear that what beavers do is truly extraordinary. 279 00:26:54,460 --> 00:27:00,020 These small creatures manage to do something that most people could not do without special 280 00:27:00,020 --> 00:27:02,240 engineering training. 281 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:08,700 So who is it that makes them do this? 282 00:27:08,700 --> 00:27:18,980 It is impossible to say that beavers are highly intelligent creatures. 283 00:27:18,980 --> 00:27:24,220 So how do these little animals plant their nests with special entrances to the water and 284 00:27:24,220 --> 00:27:28,060 air conditioning vents? 285 00:27:28,060 --> 00:27:34,060 How do they know how to make dams to the same concave design as the world's most modern hydroelectric 286 00:27:34,060 --> 00:27:36,980 dams? 287 00:27:36,980 --> 00:27:47,020 These tasks are way beyond these lovely little animals' intelligence and knowledge. 288 00:27:47,020 --> 00:27:52,960 It is clear that there is a great power which makes them do what they do. 289 00:27:52,960 --> 00:28:00,260 The almighty God, who creates all living things and inspires their behavior, also inspires beavers 290 00:28:00,260 --> 00:28:02,800 to make their perfect dams and nests. 291 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:16,840 God reveals his sovereignty over living things in a quranic verse. 292 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,660 Everyone in the heavens and earth belongs to him. 293 00:28:20,660 --> 00:28:22,660 People are submissive to him. 294 00:28:22,660 --> 00:28:27,660 People are submissive to him. 295 00:28:27,660 --> 00:28:41,200 People are gernony, neither from the world, or from the smudging servers. 296 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:51,740 When we look at the other architects in nature, 297 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,740 we can clearly see that each one is a miracle of creation. 298 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:01,000 Let us have a look at a few out of the thousands of examples. 299 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:26,540 Termites are small insects resembling ants. 300 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,280 They live in colonies and build giant nests for themselves. 301 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,460 The building blocks of the nest are bricks made from soil, 302 00:29:36,140 --> 00:29:39,880 which worker termites make by using their saliva as mortar. 303 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:50,020 The height of a termite nest can sometimes be as much as three or four meters. 304 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,400 The architecture of these nests, which are like giant skyscrapers 305 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,500 when compared to the size of these termites, is stunning. 306 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,540 The inside of a termite's nest is full of narrow passages. 307 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:10,020 In the depths of these corridors, some one and a half million termites 308 00:30:10,020 --> 00:30:11,940 work together in great harmony. 309 00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:15,480 When we look at a cross-section of a nest, 310 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,740 we see that there is a special chamber for the queen, 311 00:30:19,500 --> 00:30:24,020 agricultural areas, storehouses, and air conditioning passages. 312 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,340 The termites both see to the construction and repair of the nest 313 00:30:29,340 --> 00:30:32,320 and also prepare to meet any potential enemies, 314 00:30:32,620 --> 00:30:36,980 as well as engaging in agriculture inside the nest by growing fungus. 315 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:42,560 The survival of such a large population depends on one very important condition, 316 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,200 the stabilization of the nest's heat and moisture balance. 317 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,740 The solution to this problem is absolutely perfect. 318 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,460 Parallel panels are built in the roof area of the termite nest. 319 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:02,860 These panels, made of mud, absorb the moisture given off by the termite's bodies. 320 00:31:02,860 --> 00:31:10,320 This moisture evaporates with the heat inside 321 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,080 and heads upwards through the nest's air conditioning channels. 322 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:21,120 This evaporation both lowers the temperature of the nest 323 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,900 and also ensures a continuous circulation of air. 324 00:31:27,860 --> 00:31:33,000 These panels in the termite nest perform a perfect air conditioning function. 325 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:44,940 And there are other amazing examples of termite's construction knowledge. 326 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,860 Another species of northern Australia makes nests in the shape of a dagger, 327 00:31:51,540 --> 00:31:53,840 very wide but with very fine edges. 328 00:31:55,060 --> 00:31:58,060 The secret of these nests lie in their angle to the sun. 329 00:31:58,060 --> 00:32:04,100 The nests are at such an angle that at noon, when the sun is at its height, 330 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,320 only a very small surface of the nest faces the sun, 331 00:32:07,940 --> 00:32:09,780 and thus heat is kept to a minimum. 332 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,280 The same angle is employed in all these species' nests with no mistakes. 333 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,460 But the most striking feature of this subject 334 00:32:21,460 --> 00:32:26,380 is that the termites, which do all this wonderful building, are blind. 335 00:32:28,060 --> 00:32:31,940 So, how do these tiny creatures, 336 00:32:32,260 --> 00:32:34,240 which cannot see a centimetre in front of them, 337 00:32:34,700 --> 00:32:38,580 construct these giant towers based on fine engineering calculations? 338 00:32:41,380 --> 00:32:45,120 How do the one and a half million termites in one nest 339 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,240 manage such perfect cooperation? 340 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,120 A famous British naturalist, David Attenborough, 341 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,960 makes this comment on the question in one of his documentaries. 342 00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:00,160 Each worker places its pellet of mud 343 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,500 in a position demanded by a master plan. 344 00:33:02,940 --> 00:33:04,520 Though how they are able to do so, 345 00:33:04,740 --> 00:33:06,380 we don't begin to understand. 346 00:33:06,380 --> 00:33:14,580 This great plan, 347 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,160 which human beings cannot understand, 348 00:33:17,700 --> 00:33:19,920 but which termites obey without question, 349 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,800 is the inspiration given to these creatures by God. 350 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:38,380 Another of nature's master architects are weaver birds, 351 00:33:38,620 --> 00:33:42,320 which build their nests by sowing blades of grass to one another. 352 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,320 In order to build a nest, 353 00:33:44,780 --> 00:33:47,640 a weaver bird first forms a triangular framework. 354 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,580 Then it covers the outside of this frame 355 00:33:50,580 --> 00:33:53,340 by tying three different kinds of knots. 356 00:33:55,620 --> 00:33:57,860 Each nest has a sound frame, 357 00:33:58,380 --> 00:33:59,980 walls and an entrance. 358 00:33:59,980 --> 00:34:10,000 The first step in the construction of the nest 359 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,860 is the tying of a long, thin blade of grass 360 00:34:12,860 --> 00:34:14,120 to a thin branch. 361 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,840 But that is by no means easy. 362 00:34:17,700 --> 00:34:20,960 The weaver bird has a real struggle to tie just one knot. 363 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,840 It is very important for this first knot 364 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,100 to be in the correct form. 365 00:34:27,060 --> 00:34:28,680 Otherwise, there will be no point 366 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,360 in continuing with the construction 367 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:31,860 of the rest of the nest. 368 00:34:32,900 --> 00:34:35,020 Because if the first knot is wrong, 369 00:34:35,500 --> 00:34:37,980 then the rest of the nest will all be wrong too, 370 00:34:38,580 --> 00:34:41,100 as they are all based on the first one. 371 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,740 The knots multiply over time 372 00:34:43,740 --> 00:34:45,840 and take on the form of a hoop. 373 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,380 The bird has to carefully calculate 374 00:34:48,380 --> 00:34:50,740 the dimension of the hoop it forms. 375 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,840 The hoop has to be big enough for itself to enter, 376 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,120 but small enough to keep other larger birds out. 377 00:34:58,820 --> 00:35:01,680 The bird gets the ideal size for the hoop right 378 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,680 at once and every time. 379 00:35:14,020 --> 00:35:16,620 After weaving the foundation hoop around it 380 00:35:16,620 --> 00:35:17,300 in this manner, 381 00:35:17,900 --> 00:35:19,760 it begins to build the roof space. 382 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:31,020 The technique weaver birds use to build their nests 383 00:35:31,020 --> 00:35:33,680 is the same as that used by human weavers. 384 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,520 They weave the blades of grass 385 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,100 by passing them under and over each other. 386 00:35:39,100 --> 00:35:49,680 They employ this technique with great patience 387 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,600 and eventually construct perfect nests. 388 00:35:52,600 --> 00:36:00,040 When one looks at the trees weaver birds live in, 389 00:36:00,620 --> 00:36:03,640 they look like giant cities made of hundreds of houses, 390 00:36:04,180 --> 00:36:05,600 not just a single one. 391 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:15,740 every single weaver bird has built a house of the same construction, 392 00:36:15,740 --> 00:36:17,980 obeying the same power. 393 00:36:17,980 --> 00:36:33,040 another creature reminiscent of the honey bee with its architectural skill is the paper wasp. 394 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:46,100 This species of wasp choose pieces of wood and uses them to produce cellulose, in other words, paper. 395 00:36:46,100 --> 00:36:52,160 Then it uses this paper to build itself around nest. 396 00:36:52,160 --> 00:37:12,220 It makes hexagonal combs just like the honey bees from the paper which it sticks to the inside of the roof. 397 00:37:12,220 --> 00:37:16,220 It places an egg into each hexagon on the roof. 398 00:37:16,220 --> 00:37:18,220 Some three weeks later, 399 00:37:18,220 --> 00:37:20,220 larvae emerge from these eggs. 400 00:37:20,220 --> 00:37:39,220 These larvae demonstrate a surprising intelligence and close up the mouths of the comb. 401 00:37:39,220 --> 00:37:43,220 In this way, they avoid falling down under their own weight. 402 00:37:43,220 --> 00:37:49,220 After a few more weeks of growth, they emerge from their cells as adult wasps. 403 00:37:49,220 --> 00:37:54,220 The young wasps lose no time in throwing themselves into life. 404 00:37:54,220 --> 00:38:00,220 Every task they have to perform is inspired in them by their creator, God. 405 00:38:00,220 --> 00:38:06,220 The young enlarge the construction which their mothers began. 406 00:38:06,220 --> 00:38:23,220 At the end, a rather large colony emerges. 407 00:38:23,220 --> 00:38:28,220 The wasp's nest is now a multi-storeyed apartment block. 408 00:38:28,220 --> 00:38:46,220 Every wasp born here will abide by the letter to the inspiration given to it. 409 00:38:46,220 --> 00:39:07,220 These small pots you see belong to another species of wild bee. 410 00:39:07,220 --> 00:39:19,220 This wild bee makes a sticky mud by mixing its saliva with moist soil. 411 00:39:19,220 --> 00:39:24,220 It makes exceedingly regular pots by using the mud it makes. 412 00:39:24,220 --> 00:39:29,220 It gives form to the mud by continually turning it around. 413 00:39:29,220 --> 00:39:33,220 The same technique used by human beings to make pots. 414 00:39:33,220 --> 00:39:58,220 When the pot is finished, it doesn't neglect to add a lid. 415 00:39:58,220 --> 00:40:07,220 When everything is ready, the bee turns its rear towards the mouth of the pot and leaves an egg inside. 416 00:40:07,220 --> 00:40:15,220 After adding some food materials to the pot, it seals the mouth up and flies off. 417 00:40:15,220 --> 00:40:24,220 The lava which hatches from the egg will later break the pot and emerge and start a life of its own. 418 00:40:24,220 --> 00:40:29,220 These are pots broken by the young and then abandoned. 419 00:40:29,220 --> 00:40:36,220 The young which emerge start to build perfect pots just like their mothers did and with no training. 420 00:40:36,220 --> 00:40:58,220 This wonderful craft they possessed was inspired in them by God, their creator. 421 00:40:58,220 --> 00:41:03,220 Spiders, on the other hand, make their webs with threads from their own bodies. 422 00:41:03,220 --> 00:41:13,220 Spider thread is five times stronger than steel of the same thickness. 423 00:41:13,220 --> 00:41:22,220 Even large flies which move fast through the air cannot escape the strong and flexible trap of the spider web. 424 00:41:22,220 --> 00:41:29,220 There are sticky droplets on black widow spider webs. 425 00:41:29,220 --> 00:41:41,220 It is impossible for prey caught in these webs to free themselves. 426 00:41:41,220 --> 00:41:48,220 The spider's web is sticky, flexible and amazingly strong. 427 00:41:48,220 --> 00:41:54,220 Beyond being a trap, this web is actually an extension of the spider's own body. 428 00:41:54,220 --> 00:42:04,220 The spider feels the vibration of every prey that gets caught in the web and catches it without delay. 429 00:42:04,220 --> 00:42:08,220 The web is produced in the spider's hindquarters. 430 00:42:08,220 --> 00:42:13,220 It pulls the thread produced by a special organ with its legs. 431 00:42:13,220 --> 00:42:18,220 The sticky droplets on the surface of the thread are actually small bunches of thread. 432 00:42:18,220 --> 00:42:22,220 These open out when necessary and the web easily stretches. 433 00:42:22,220 --> 00:42:36,220 There is no doubt that it's the inspiration God gives this creature that causes the spider to build this architectural marvel. 434 00:42:36,220 --> 00:43:05,220 There is no doubt that it is possible. 435 00:43:05,220 --> 00:43:11,220 The 19th century may go down in human history as the century of deceptions, 436 00:43:11,220 --> 00:43:15,220 because in that period, many philosophies with no scientific basis, 437 00:43:15,220 --> 00:43:19,220 such as Marxism, were imposed on mankind. 438 00:43:24,220 --> 00:43:29,220 But the greatest deception of the 19th century was the theory of evolution 439 00:43:29,220 --> 00:43:33,220 put forward by the British biologist called Charles Darwin. 440 00:43:35,220 --> 00:43:42,220 In his book, The Origin of Species, published in 1859, 441 00:43:42,220 --> 00:43:48,220 Darwin suggested that all living things in nature had come about as the result of blind chance. 442 00:43:51,220 --> 00:43:56,220 This theory appeared quite believable given the primitive level of 19th century science, 443 00:43:56,220 --> 00:43:59,220 and it was soon widely accepted. 444 00:44:06,220 --> 00:44:11,220 However, modern scientific discoveries have demolished Darwin's claims. 445 00:44:17,220 --> 00:44:20,220 Paleontology, the science of fossils, 446 00:44:20,220 --> 00:44:24,220 shows that different living groups appeared on the Earth suddenly 447 00:44:24,220 --> 00:44:27,220 and underwent no evolution over hundreds of millions of years. 448 00:44:31,220 --> 00:44:37,220 Anatomy and biochemistry have proven that there are very complex structures in living things, 449 00:44:37,220 --> 00:44:39,220 and that these cannot come about by chance. 450 00:44:39,220 --> 00:44:52,220 and biological observations have revealed that nature does not possess the alleged mechanisms 451 00:44:52,220 --> 00:44:54,220 to transform species into one another. 452 00:44:54,220 --> 00:45:01,220 For these reasons, Darwinism today is a theory that has scientifically collapsed. 453 00:45:06,220 --> 00:45:09,220 Animals' intelligent behavior that we have observed in this film 454 00:45:09,220 --> 00:45:13,220 is another important fact that overturns the theory of evolution. 455 00:45:13,220 --> 00:45:16,220 evolution. 456 00:45:19,220 --> 00:45:25,220 Evolutionists call the intelligent behavior that animals exhibit without undergoing any special training, 457 00:45:26,220 --> 00:45:27,220 instinct. 458 00:45:27,220 --> 00:45:28,220 evolution. 459 00:45:31,220 --> 00:45:34,220 But they cannot explain the origin of instinct. 460 00:45:37,220 --> 00:45:39,220 In his book, The Origin of Species, 461 00:45:40,220 --> 00:45:42,220 Darwin devoted a whole section to the subject. 462 00:45:47,220 --> 00:45:49,220 At the very start of this section, entitled instinct, 463 00:45:50,220 --> 00:45:54,220 he admits how deadly the intelligent behavior in animals is to his theory. 464 00:45:54,220 --> 00:46:00,220 So wonderful an instinct as that of the hive bee making its cells 465 00:46:01,220 --> 00:46:03,220 will probably have occurred to many readers 466 00:46:04,220 --> 00:46:07,220 as a difficulty sufficient to overthrow my whole theory. 467 00:46:12,220 --> 00:46:16,220 Darwin was especially baffled by the architectural skills of the honeybee 468 00:46:17,220 --> 00:46:18,220 and asked himself, 469 00:46:18,220 --> 00:46:24,220 what shall we say to so marvelous an instinct as to that which leads the bee to make cells, 470 00:46:25,220 --> 00:46:29,220 which have practically anticipated the discoveries of profound mathematicians? 471 00:46:33,220 --> 00:46:36,220 The answer Darwin gave to this question was habit. 472 00:46:37,220 --> 00:46:40,220 He suggested that a living creature developed a habit over the course of its life, 473 00:46:41,220 --> 00:46:44,220 then passed this habit on to its offspring. 474 00:46:44,220 --> 00:46:47,220 Thus, an inherited instinct developed over time. 475 00:46:54,220 --> 00:46:58,220 Darwin was basing this argument on the theories of the French biologist Lamarck, 476 00:46:59,220 --> 00:47:00,220 who lived before him. 477 00:47:03,220 --> 00:47:06,220 But the science of genetics, which developed in the 20th century, 478 00:47:06,220 --> 00:47:08,220 showed that the Marx theories were pure nonsense, 479 00:47:09,220 --> 00:47:16,220 and that no living thing can pass on a feature or a habit it has acquired during its lifetime to the next generation. 480 00:47:16,220 --> 00:47:26,220 This proved that Darwin's explanation of instinct was based on mistaken guesswork. 481 00:47:27,220 --> 00:47:31,220 Another dilemma instinct poses to the theory of evolution, 482 00:47:32,220 --> 00:47:36,220 is that Darwin's explanation of instinct was based on mistaken guesswork. 483 00:47:36,220 --> 00:47:50,220 Another dilemma instinct poses to the theory of evolution is the problem that animals possess instinct from the moment they are born. 484 00:47:51,220 --> 00:47:55,220 An animal which lacked the necessary instinct would be unable to survive. 485 00:47:56,220 --> 00:48:01,220 An offspring which did not possess the instinct of sucking its mother's milk would be unable to live. 486 00:48:01,220 --> 00:48:08,220 This demonstrates that instinct cannot have come about by stages over time, as evolutionists claim. 487 00:48:13,220 --> 00:48:20,220 For all these reasons, instinct is a fact capable of demolishing the theory of evolution all by itself, as Darwin had feared. 488 00:48:20,220 --> 00:48:30,220 In his book, The Great Evolution Mystery, the evolutionist writer Gordon Taylor makes this confession. 489 00:48:31,220 --> 00:48:37,220 When we ask ourselves how an instinctive pattern of behavior arose in the first place, 490 00:48:38,220 --> 00:48:41,220 and became hereditarily fixed, we are given no answer. 491 00:48:41,220 --> 00:48:57,220 It is really impossible for evolutionists to explain where instinct comes from, 492 00:48:58,220 --> 00:49:03,220 because the source is not coincidences as they think, but the inspiration God gives to living things. 493 00:49:03,220 --> 00:49:04,940 neemannitan initially 494 00:49:04,940 --> 00:49:06,220 human progression 495 00:49:06,220 --> 00:49:07,220 and έχ

00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:17,460 By exhibiting these surprising works of architecture, these creatures reveal to us the skills which 525 00:50:17,460 --> 00:50:22,000 are actually given to them by God. 526 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:29,320 Each one of them acts by God's inspiration, as is announced in a verse of the Quran. 527 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:39,800 There is no creature he does not hold by the

God, to whom the most marvelous works in the world belong. 530 00:50:56,720 --> 00:51:10,200 That creature is man. 531 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:15,160 Many people today are unaware of this fact. 532

see as man's masterpieces, are actually a manifestation of 536 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:45,400 God's infinite art and knowledge. 537 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:50,080 For this reason, the real one we should
