00:30.000 --> 00:59.980
This is a production of the U.S. Department of State.

01:00.000 --> 01:18.380
Pyramids, palaces, cathedrals, mosques.

01:18.380 --> 01:26.380
Each emerges from the calculations of expert architects, from the joint efforts and cooperation

01:26.380 --> 01:27.380
of thousands of people.

01:27.380 --> 01:41.380
Architecture is a field where the concepts of art and aesthetics imparted to mankind by

01:41.380 --> 01:45.380
God are exhibited.

01:45.380 --> 01:52.380
But did you know that there are architects in nature just as skilled as their human counterparts?

01:52.380 --> 01:58.380
The U.S. Department of State

01:58.380 --> 02:01.380
For example, the U.S. Department of State

02:36.380 --> 03:05.120
Animals in nature attract our attention with the structure of their bodies in particular.

03:06.380 --> 03:13.320
The cheetah possesses a perfect skeleton and muscle systems for it to run.

03:13.320 --> 03:25.260
The eagle possesses the world's best aerodynamic design.

03:25.260 --> 03:31.920
The dolphin has especially created skin and body so it can swim in the water.

03:31.920 --> 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.

03:45.120 --> 03:53.240
But possessing a perfect body is not enough.

03:54.200 --> 03:56.660
The animal also has to know how to use that body.

03:56.660 --> 04:08.660
A bird's wings are only of any use when it succeeds in taking flight, soaring and then landing with them.

04:08.660 --> 04:26.200
When we look at the living world through these eyes, we see a most interesting truth.

04:26.200 --> 04:32.340
Each animal behaves in the most appropriate manner for the conditions that surround it.

04:32.340 --> 04:45.940
Furthermore, this behavior occurs right from the moment of birth.

04:45.940 --> 04:55.200
It takes only half an hour for a newborn antelope to stand up and run.

04:55.200 --> 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.

05:11.800 --> 05:19.040
Furthermore, they have been taught that as soon as they emerge, they have to reach the sea.

05:22.640 --> 05:26.220
It is almost as if animals come into this world fully trained.

05:26.220 --> 05:45.060
And the most amazing example of this amazing education animals have is the homes they so expertly build for themselves.

05:45.060 --> 05:59.680
They are in their homes, too.

05:59.680 --> 06:29.100
When you go into the country on a sunny day,

06:29.900 --> 06:32.500
the enchanting beauty of flowers draws your attention.

06:33.720 --> 06:35.920
When you examine the flowers a bit more closely,

06:36.680 --> 06:38.620
you come across another interesting creature.

06:39.720 --> 06:40.820
This is the honeybee,

06:40.820 --> 06:43.540
the most disciplined of nature's architects.

06:47.760 --> 06:49.800
Honeybees live in colonies

06:49.800 --> 06:53.600
and produce one of the world's most perfect foods, honey.

06:59.100 --> 07:05.540
They store the honey in the hexagonal honeycombs they build.

07:09.500 --> 07:11.600
But have you ever wondered

07:11.600 --> 07:14.080
why bees always make their combs hexagonal?

07:17.080 --> 07:19.260
Mathematicians sought the answer to this question

07:19.260 --> 07:21.600
and after lengthy calculations

07:21.600 --> 07:23.760
came to an interesting conclusion.

07:25.060 --> 07:27.340
The best way of building a storehouse

07:27.340 --> 07:29.080
with the greatest capacity

07:29.080 --> 07:32.080
but using the least possible amount of materials

07:32.080 --> 07:34.260
is to make the wools hexagonal.

07:35.260 --> 07:36.940
Let us consider the other shapes.

07:38.300 --> 07:40.240
If bees built their combs as cylinders

07:40.240 --> 07:42.500
or as pentagonal prisms,

07:43.000 --> 07:44.860
then gaps would emerge between them

07:44.860 --> 07:47.240
and less honey could be stored in the combs.

07:54.660 --> 07:56.980
A honey store of triangles or squares

07:56.980 --> 07:59.380
could be built without leaving any gaps.

08:00.660 --> 08:04.040
But here, mathematicians realized a crucial point.

08:06.540 --> 08:08.480
Of all these geometric shapes,

08:08.480 --> 08:10.920
the one with the shortest circumference

08:10.920 --> 08:11.900
is the hexagon.

08:14.020 --> 08:14.860
For this reason,

08:15.400 --> 08:17.000
although they cover the same area,

08:17.620 --> 08:19.640
less material is needed for hexagons

08:19.640 --> 08:21.340
than for squares and triangles.

08:28.020 --> 08:29.060
In short,

08:29.900 --> 08:31.000
a hexagonal comb

08:31.000 --> 08:32.220
is the best shape

08:32.220 --> 08:34.440
for ensuring maximum storage capacity

08:34.440 --> 08:36.160
with minimum wax.

08:38.480 --> 08:47.000
Another surprising fact about bees

08:47.000 --> 08:48.480
is their cooperation

08:48.480 --> 08:50.120
in building their combs.

08:56.120 --> 08:58.520
When someone sees a completed comb,

08:59.620 --> 09:00.540
he may well imagine

09:00.540 --> 09:02.480
that it was built as a single block.

09:04.900 --> 09:07.640
But bees actually start building their combs

09:07.640 --> 09:09.460
from completely different points.

09:10.800 --> 09:13.160
Hundreds of bees set about building the comb

09:13.160 --> 09:15.180
from three or four different places.

09:17.260 --> 09:18.760
They continue building

09:18.760 --> 09:20.500
until they meet in the middle.

09:21.240 --> 09:23.120
There is not the slightest imperfection

09:23.120 --> 09:24.420
at the juncture.

09:28.160 --> 09:30.280
Bees also calculate the angle

09:30.280 --> 09:32.320
of the individual cells to each other

09:32.320 --> 09:33.640
when building their comb.

09:33.640 --> 09:37.940
The back-to-back comb cells

09:37.940 --> 09:38.980
are always built

09:38.980 --> 09:41.500
at an angle of 13 degrees to the ground.

09:43.160 --> 09:44.080
That way,

09:44.280 --> 09:45.680
both sides of the comb

09:45.680 --> 09:46.740
slope upwards.

09:47.920 --> 09:49.720
This angle prevents the honey

09:49.720 --> 09:51.140
spilling out of the combs.

09:52.780 --> 09:54.360
Wherever we go in the world,

09:55.040 --> 09:57.500
honeybees manage this extraordinary architecture

09:57.500 --> 09:59.420
perfectly every time.

09:59.420 --> 10:04.440
and they do it in the depths of the hive

10:04.440 --> 10:05.840
in pitch dark

10:05.840 --> 10:07.660
where sunlight cannot reach.

10:19.800 --> 10:21.900
There is a very interesting truth here.

10:22.760 --> 10:25.140
Bees exhibit these extraordinary characteristics

10:25.140 --> 10:26.640
from the moment they are born.

10:29.560 --> 10:31.260
They do not learn over time

10:31.260 --> 10:32.800
by observing the comb structure

10:32.800 --> 10:33.620
and direction.

10:34.740 --> 10:36.560
From the moment they open their eyes,

10:36.800 --> 10:37.900
they possess the skill.

10:42.360 --> 10:44.120
So who is teaching bees

10:44.120 --> 10:45.760
this architectural art?

10:45.760 --> 10:52.280
The answer to this question

10:52.280 --> 10:53.860
is given in the Holy Quran.

10:55.220 --> 10:55.980
In this book,

10:56.180 --> 10:57.620
which God sent down to men

10:57.620 --> 10:58.920
to show them the true path,

10:59.560 --> 11:00.760
He reveals the secret

11:00.760 --> 11:02.640
of honeybees' superb abilities.

11:05.440 --> 11:07.520
Your Lord inspired the bees.

11:08.400 --> 11:10.020
Make hives in the mountains

11:10.020 --> 11:11.140
and in the trees

11:11.140 --> 11:12.860
and in what they build.

11:12.860 --> 11:18.140
Then eat of all the fruits

11:18.140 --> 11:22.000
and walk in the ways

11:22.000 --> 11:23.700
of your Lord submissively.

11:26.820 --> 11:28.080
From their bellies

11:28.080 --> 11:30.100
comes a drink with different colors

11:30.100 --> 11:32.460
which contains healing for mankind.

11:34.220 --> 11:35.020
Most surely,

11:35.360 --> 11:36.440
there is a sign in this

11:36.440 --> 11:38.220
for people who reflect.

11:38.220 --> 11:46.020
The secret of animals'

11:46.200 --> 11:47.360
extraordinary skills

11:47.360 --> 11:48.800
is the inspiration

11:48.800 --> 11:50.200
given them by God.

11:53.080 --> 11:54.240
And this applies

11:54.240 --> 11:55.980
to all living things,

11:56.300 --> 11:57.600
not just the honeybee.

11:57.600 --> 12:04.520
We can see this truth

12:04.520 --> 12:05.140
more clearly

12:05.140 --> 12:06.580
when we examine

12:06.580 --> 12:08.520
other architects in nature.

12:08.520 --> 12:19.240
The name of God phi

12:19.240 --> 12:21.600
has a job of another.

12:21.600 --> 12:23.960
So,

12:23.960 --> 12:25.960
that is the time

12:25.960 --> 12:27.600
to show you

12:27.600 --> 12:28.260
how to learn

12:28.260 --> 12:29.080
the best

12:29.080 --> 12:29.840
and discover

12:29.840 --> 12:30.580
the structure

12:30.580 --> 12:35.000
on the same

12:35.000 --> 13:03.500
A short while ago, this small lake you see was a very different place.

13:03.500 --> 13:08.500
To be more accurate, there was no pond here at all until very recently.

13:08.500 --> 13:13.500
There were just hard pebbles lying on dry soil.

13:13.500 --> 13:20.500
But a very industrious group of workers struggled and made a great effort and built this pond.

13:20.500 --> 13:25.500
These industrious workers are the lovely animals known as beavers.

13:33.500 --> 13:47.500
Beavers live together as one big family.

13:47.500 --> 13:53.500
Their homes stand at one side of the pond that they build through their own efforts.

13:53.500 --> 14:10.500
The beaver's story begins with a male and a female beaver moving off to make a new home for themselves.

14:10.500 --> 14:14.500
The beaver pair will make their home on a river.

14:14.500 --> 14:18.500
But first, they have to block the current.

14:22.500 --> 14:28.500
In order to do this, they employ the same method that man has been using for hundreds of years.

14:28.500 --> 14:40.500
They build a dam.

14:40.500 --> 14:46.500
In order to start building the dam, they first have to find materials.

14:46.500 --> 14:53.500
These consist of tree logs and branches.

14:53.500 --> 14:57.500
The beavers start working by going to forested areas beside the river.

15:04.500 --> 15:07.500
First, they eat a few leaves from the trees they find.

15:07.500 --> 15:25.500
But their real task is to cut down the trees and push them over.

15:25.500 --> 15:29.500
This they do by gnawing expertly at the tree trunk.

15:37.500 --> 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,

15:43.500 --> 15:47.500
the tree always falls in the direction of the water.

16:02.500 --> 16:06.500
The cutting and pushing over of the tree is still the job's crudest component.

16:08.500 --> 16:12.500
Later, the beavers split the tree up into its component branches

16:12.500 --> 16:17.500
and begin to form a dam by laying them out in front of the biggest log they have pushed over.

16:17.500 --> 16:23.500
And all this time, the only tools they use are their pores and their mouths.

16:23.500 --> 16:29.500
This work continues with great patience.

16:29.500 --> 16:30.500
Two beavers will cut down an average of 400 trees a year.

16:30.500 --> 16:35.500
Two beavers will cut down an average of 400 trees a year.

16:35.500 --> 16:38.500
They divide those trees further away from the dam into their separate branches and drag these to their dam.

16:38.500 --> 16:41.500
And all this time, the only tools they use are their pores and their mouths.

16:41.500 --> 16:48.500
And all this time, the only tools they use are their pores and their mouths.

16:48.500 --> 16:51.500
This work continues with great patience.

16:51.500 --> 17:07.500
The only tools they use to find but the only tools in their enc tes

17:07.500 --> 17:12.500
They work so well.

17:12.500 --> 17:37.060
Beavers always use their front teeth when gnawing at the tree trunks or branches.

17:37.060 --> 17:42.100
As they use them all the time, these front teeth get worn down and break.

17:42.100 --> 17:47.280
But the beaver's jaw is created specially for this job.

17:47.280 --> 17:56.040
Its sharp front teeth keep growing just like a person's nails.

17:56.040 --> 18:06.720
The almighty God who created beavers also created their teeth for the job they would have to do.

18:06.720 --> 18:17.300
A beaver's body is created in such a way as to make it easier for them to swim in water.

18:17.300 --> 18:23.800
Their feet are webbed so they can easily displace water.

18:23.800 --> 18:45.460
Their tail is like a giant paddle thanks to which they can swim comfortably in the water.

18:45.460 --> 18:48.500
The beavers continue their building with great zeal.

18:48.500 --> 18:54.460
They expertly arrange the large tree logs and the small branches and enlarge their dam a little

18:54.460 --> 19:01.460
more every day.

19:01.460 --> 19:02.600
It is.

19:02.600 --> 19:04.820
It is.

19:04.820 --> 19:06.040
It is.

19:06.100 --> 19:09.540
It is.

19:09.540 --> 19:11.880
It is.

19:11.880 --> 19:40.600
As the dam grows,

19:40.600 --> 19:43.600
the water that collects in front of it grows higher.

19:51.600 --> 19:53.600
At the end of a few months of labor,

19:53.600 --> 19:56.600
a large pond forms behind the dam.

20:10.600 --> 20:20.600
But as this pond grows,

20:20.600 --> 20:25.600
the beavers have to strengthen the dam and repair any cracks.

20:25.600 --> 20:29.600
They carry out this difficult task with great patience.

20:29.600 --> 20:48.600
The scene that emerges as the result of several months of hard work

20:48.600 --> 20:51.600
is, in a word, magnificent.

20:51.600 --> 21:08.600
A real dam, resembling those made by man,

21:08.600 --> 21:21.600
has been formed.

21:21.600 --> 21:26.600
As you notice, beavers make their dams concave.

21:26.600 --> 21:35.600
The shape is not one picked by coincidence,

21:35.600 --> 21:39.600
because the form of a dam that best resists water pressure

21:39.600 --> 21:41.600
is a concave dam.

21:41.600 --> 21:44.600
In fact, the modern hydroelectric power dams of our day

21:44.600 --> 21:47.600
are also built concave.

21:47.600 --> 21:54.600
In short, beavers possess the construction knowledge

21:54.600 --> 21:56.600
which man attains over time

21:56.600 --> 21:59.600
from the first day of their lives.

21:59.600 --> 22:02.600
So, who gave them that knowledge?

22:02.600 --> 22:05.600
There is no doubt that a living creature

22:05.600 --> 22:09.600
cannot come by the ability to build a dam by chance.

22:09.600 --> 22:11.600
It cannot find the shape of a dam

22:11.600 --> 22:15.600
that will best resist water pressure by accident.

22:15.600 --> 22:17.600
And it cannot pass these abilities

22:17.600 --> 22:19.600
onto subsequent generations.

22:21.600 --> 22:23.600
It is the almighty God

22:23.600 --> 22:26.600
who gives the beaver the skills it possesses,

22:26.600 --> 22:28.600
who creates all living things

22:28.600 --> 22:30.600
and inspires what they do.

22:30.600 --> 22:42.600
The beaver's aim in constructing this giant dam

22:42.600 --> 22:47.600
is to have a still pond where they can make their nest.

22:47.600 --> 22:49.600
They also make their own nest

22:49.600 --> 22:52.600
while they are constructing the dam.

22:52.600 --> 22:55.600
The nest, or lodge as it is called,

22:55.600 --> 22:58.600
is at the edge of the pond somewhere near the soil.

22:58.600 --> 23:01.600
The lodge, which looks like a pile of wood

23:01.600 --> 23:02.600
when seen from above,

23:02.600 --> 23:06.600
is in fact very well designed.

23:06.600 --> 23:10.600
The only way into the lodge is underwater.

23:10.600 --> 23:12.600
In order to get inside it,

23:12.600 --> 23:15.600
it is necessary to go through a hidden tunnel.

23:15.600 --> 23:18.600
This tunnel emerges into a concealed chamber

23:18.600 --> 23:22.600
above the level of the water.

23:22.600 --> 23:27.600
The beaver family lives in this dry and secure chamber.

23:27.600 --> 23:33.600
Some beavers build the lodge on two floors.

23:33.600 --> 23:37.600
The first floor is an entrance and living room.

23:37.600 --> 23:40.600
The upper floor, a dining room and bedroom.

23:40.600 --> 23:45.600
A beaver lodge has two underwater entrances

23:45.600 --> 23:47.600
and an air vent situated at the top.

23:47.600 --> 23:50.600
Inside this wonderful lodge,

23:50.600 --> 23:54.600
the beavers are not only protected from outside dangers,

23:54.600 --> 23:56.600
but also have a comfortable shelter.

24:04.600 --> 24:08.600
The young open their eyes to the world inside the lodge.

24:08.600 --> 24:30.600
After they have grown a little,

24:30.600 --> 24:34.600
they begin to go outside with their parents and meet the world.

24:34.600 --> 24:35.640
In their eyes to the house,

24:35.640 --> 24:36.600
they're in the island,

24:36.600 --> 24:38.600
which cannot provide prevention for young children.

24:38.600 --> 24:39.600
They do notивают a 소개.

24:39.600 --> 24:42.920
It became a Thatse cell phone with uniexed

24:42.920 --> 24:46.600
and yet you do not develop and do not create aожно-style audit

24:46.600 --> 24:48.600
with the coyote,

24:48.600 --> 24:50.600
nhưng the centerpiece is required is not complete.

24:50.600 --> 24:53.600
The road overnight is a way to enter health.

24:53.600 --> 25:13.280
When they are tired from swimming, what they like best is to climb onto their mother's

25:13.280 --> 25:37.160
backs.

25:37.160 --> 25:42.980
The little pond the beavers form can sometimes be as much as three or four meters deep.

25:42.980 --> 25:47.260
They do not actually need water as deep as this to build their nest.

25:47.260 --> 25:56.880
So in that case, why do they make such a deep pond?

25:56.880 --> 26:06.940
The answer to this question becomes apparent in winter.

26:06.940 --> 26:13.860
In winter, the surface of the water freezes and forms a rather thick layer of ice.

26:13.860 --> 26:19.060
If the pond is not deep enough, it will freeze right down to the bottom, and the whole thing

26:19.060 --> 26:24.600
will turn into a block of ice, and this would destroy the beaver's power of movement.

26:24.600 --> 26:30.880
The beavers, as if they know this, try to make the small lake as deep as possible.

26:30.880 --> 26:36.080
In this way, in winter, a thick layer of water remains under the ice.

26:36.080 --> 26:47.860
This is enough for the beavers to move and feed.

26:47.860 --> 26:54.460
When one considers this, it is clear that what beavers do is truly extraordinary.

26:54.460 --> 27:00.020
These small creatures manage to do something that most people could not do without special

27:00.020 --> 27:02.240
engineering training.

27:02.240 --> 27:08.700
So who is it that makes them do this?

27:08.700 --> 27:18.980
It is impossible to say that beavers are highly intelligent creatures.

27:18.980 --> 27:24.220
So how do these little animals plant their nests with special entrances to the water and

27:24.220 --> 27:28.060
air conditioning vents?

27:28.060 --> 27:34.060
How do they know how to make dams to the same concave design as the world's most modern hydroelectric

27:34.060 --> 27:36.980
dams?

27:36.980 --> 27:47.020
These tasks are way beyond these lovely little animals' intelligence and knowledge.

27:47.020 --> 27:52.960
It is clear that there is a great power which makes them do what they do.

27:52.960 --> 28:00.260
The almighty God, who creates all living things and inspires their behavior, also inspires beavers

28:00.260 --> 28:02.800
to make their perfect dams and nests.

28:02.800 --> 28:16.840
God reveals his sovereignty over living things in a quranic verse.

28:16.840 --> 28:20.660
Everyone in the heavens and earth belongs to him.

28:20.660 --> 28:22.660
People are submissive to him.

28:22.660 --> 28:27.660
People are submissive to him.

28:27.660 --> 28:41.200
People are gernony, neither from the world, or from the smudging servers.

28:41.200 --> 28:51.740
When we look at the other architects in nature,

28:52.320 --> 28:55.740
we can clearly see that each one is a miracle of creation.

28:56.880 --> 29:01.000
Let us have a look at a few out of the thousands of examples.

29:11.200 --> 29:26.540
Termites are small insects resembling ants.

29:27.160 --> 29:30.280
They live in colonies and build giant nests for themselves.

29:32.000 --> 29:35.460
The building blocks of the nest are bricks made from soil,

29:36.140 --> 29:39.880
which worker termites make by using their saliva as mortar.

29:41.200 --> 29:50.020
The height of a termite nest can sometimes be as much as three or four meters.

29:51.080 --> 29:55.400
The architecture of these nests, which are like giant skyscrapers

29:55.400 --> 29:58.500
when compared to the size of these termites, is stunning.

30:00.640 --> 30:04.540
The inside of a termite's nest is full of narrow passages.

30:05.920 --> 30:10.020
In the depths of these corridors, some one and a half million termites

30:10.020 --> 30:11.940
work together in great harmony.

30:13.300 --> 30:15.480
When we look at a cross-section of a nest,

30:15.960 --> 30:18.740
we see that there is a special chamber for the queen,

30:19.500 --> 30:24.020
agricultural areas, storehouses, and air conditioning passages.

30:25.480 --> 30:29.340
The termites both see to the construction and repair of the nest

30:29.340 --> 30:32.320
and also prepare to meet any potential enemies,

30:32.620 --> 30:36.980
as well as engaging in agriculture inside the nest by growing fungus.

30:37.160 --> 30:42.560
The survival of such a large population depends on one very important condition,

30:43.120 --> 30:47.200
the stabilization of the nest's heat and moisture balance.

30:47.200 --> 30:50.740
The solution to this problem is absolutely perfect.

30:51.640 --> 30:55.460
Parallel panels are built in the roof area of the termite nest.

30:57.400 --> 31:02.860
These panels, made of mud, absorb the moisture given off by the termite's bodies.

31:02.860 --> 31:10.320
This moisture evaporates with the heat inside

31:10.320 --> 31:14.080
and heads upwards through the nest's air conditioning channels.

31:14.080 --> 31:21.120
This evaporation both lowers the temperature of the nest

31:21.120 --> 31:24.900
and also ensures a continuous circulation of air.

31:27.860 --> 31:33.000
These panels in the termite nest perform a perfect air conditioning function.

31:33.000 --> 31:44.940
And there are other amazing examples of termite's construction knowledge.

31:46.400 --> 31:50.860
Another species of northern Australia makes nests in the shape of a dagger,

31:51.540 --> 31:53.840
very wide but with very fine edges.

31:55.060 --> 31:58.060
The secret of these nests lie in their angle to the sun.

31:58.060 --> 32:04.100
The nests are at such an angle that at noon, when the sun is at its height,

32:04.440 --> 32:07.320
only a very small surface of the nest faces the sun,

32:07.940 --> 32:09.780
and thus heat is kept to a minimum.

32:12.760 --> 32:17.280
The same angle is employed in all these species' nests with no mistakes.

32:18.680 --> 32:21.460
But the most striking feature of this subject

32:21.460 --> 32:26.380
is that the termites, which do all this wonderful building, are blind.

32:28.060 --> 32:31.940
So, how do these tiny creatures,

32:32.260 --> 32:34.240
which cannot see a centimetre in front of them,

32:34.700 --> 32:38.580
construct these giant towers based on fine engineering calculations?

32:41.380 --> 32:45.120
How do the one and a half million termites in one nest

32:45.120 --> 32:47.240
manage such perfect cooperation?

32:49.240 --> 32:52.120
A famous British naturalist, David Attenborough,

32:52.720 --> 32:55.960
makes this comment on the question in one of his documentaries.

32:55.960 --> 33:00.160
Each worker places its pellet of mud

33:00.160 --> 33:02.500
in a position demanded by a master plan.

33:02.940 --> 33:04.520
Though how they are able to do so,

33:04.740 --> 33:06.380
we don't begin to understand.

33:06.380 --> 33:14.580
This great plan,

33:15.160 --> 33:17.160
which human beings cannot understand,

33:17.700 --> 33:19.920
but which termites obey without question,

33:20.400 --> 33:23.800
is the inspiration given to these creatures by God.

33:23.800 --> 33:38.380
Another of nature's master architects are weaver birds,

33:38.620 --> 33:42.320
which build their nests by sowing blades of grass to one another.

33:42.960 --> 33:44.320
In order to build a nest,

33:44.780 --> 33:47.640
a weaver bird first forms a triangular framework.

33:47.640 --> 33:50.580
Then it covers the outside of this frame

33:50.580 --> 33:53.340
by tying three different kinds of knots.

33:55.620 --> 33:57.860
Each nest has a sound frame,

33:58.380 --> 33:59.980
walls and an entrance.

33:59.980 --> 34:10.000
The first step in the construction of the nest

34:10.000 --> 34:12.860
is the tying of a long, thin blade of grass

34:12.860 --> 34:14.120
to a thin branch.

34:14.760 --> 34:16.840
But that is by no means easy.

34:17.700 --> 34:20.960
The weaver bird has a real struggle to tie just one knot.

34:20.960 --> 34:24.840
It is very important for this first knot

34:24.840 --> 34:26.100
to be in the correct form.

34:27.060 --> 34:28.680
Otherwise, there will be no point

34:28.680 --> 34:30.360
in continuing with the construction

34:30.360 --> 34:31.860
of the rest of the nest.

34:32.900 --> 34:35.020
Because if the first knot is wrong,

34:35.500 --> 34:37.980
then the rest of the nest will all be wrong too,

34:38.580 --> 34:41.100
as they are all based on the first one.

34:42.080 --> 34:43.740
The knots multiply over time

34:43.740 --> 34:45.840
and take on the form of a hoop.

34:46.560 --> 34:48.380
The bird has to carefully calculate

34:48.380 --> 34:50.740
the dimension of the hoop it forms.

34:50.960 --> 34:53.840
The hoop has to be big enough for itself to enter,

34:54.320 --> 34:57.120
but small enough to keep other larger birds out.

34:58.820 --> 35:01.680
The bird gets the ideal size for the hoop right

35:01.680 --> 35:03.680
at once and every time.

35:14.020 --> 35:16.620
After weaving the foundation hoop around it

35:16.620 --> 35:17.300
in this manner,

35:17.900 --> 35:19.760
it begins to build the roof space.

35:20.960 --> 35:31.020
The technique weaver birds use to build their nests

35:31.020 --> 35:33.680
is the same as that used by human weavers.

35:34.680 --> 35:36.520
They weave the blades of grass

35:36.520 --> 35:39.100
by passing them under and over each other.

35:39.100 --> 35:49.680
They employ this technique with great patience

35:49.680 --> 35:52.600
and eventually construct perfect nests.

35:52.600 --> 36:00.040
When one looks at the trees weaver birds live in,

36:00.620 --> 36:03.640
they look like giant cities made of hundreds of houses,

36:04.180 --> 36:05.600
not just a single one.

36:05.600 --> 36:15.740
every single weaver bird has built a house of the same construction,

36:15.740 --> 36:17.980
obeying the same power.

36:17.980 --> 36:33.040
another creature reminiscent of the honey bee with its architectural skill is the paper wasp.

36:33.040 --> 36:46.100
This species of wasp choose pieces of wood and uses them to produce cellulose, in other words, paper.

36:46.100 --> 36:52.160
Then it uses this paper to build itself around nest.

36:52.160 --> 37:12.220
It makes hexagonal combs just like the honey bees from the paper which it sticks to the inside of the roof.

37:12.220 --> 37:16.220
It places an egg into each hexagon on the roof.

37:16.220 --> 37:18.220
Some three weeks later,

37:18.220 --> 37:20.220
larvae emerge from these eggs.

37:20.220 --> 37:39.220
These larvae demonstrate a surprising intelligence and close up the mouths of the comb.

37:39.220 --> 37:43.220
In this way, they avoid falling down under their own weight.

37:43.220 --> 37:49.220
After a few more weeks of growth, they emerge from their cells as adult wasps.

37:49.220 --> 37:54.220
The young wasps lose no time in throwing themselves into life.

37:54.220 --> 38:00.220
Every task they have to perform is inspired in them by their creator, God.

38:00.220 --> 38:06.220
The young enlarge the construction which their mothers began.

38:06.220 --> 38:23.220
At the end, a rather large colony emerges.

38:23.220 --> 38:28.220
The wasp's nest is now a multi-storeyed apartment block.

38:28.220 --> 38:46.220
Every wasp born here will abide by the letter to the inspiration given to it.

38:46.220 --> 39:07.220
These small pots you see belong to another species of wild bee.

39:07.220 --> 39:19.220
This wild bee makes a sticky mud by mixing its saliva with moist soil.

39:19.220 --> 39:24.220
It makes exceedingly regular pots by using the mud it makes.

39:24.220 --> 39:29.220
It gives form to the mud by continually turning it around.

39:29.220 --> 39:33.220
The same technique used by human beings to make pots.

39:33.220 --> 39:58.220
When the pot is finished, it doesn't neglect to add a lid.

39:58.220 --> 40:07.220
When everything is ready, the bee turns its rear towards the mouth of the pot and leaves an egg inside.

40:07.220 --> 40:15.220
After adding some food materials to the pot, it seals the mouth up and flies off.

40:15.220 --> 40:24.220
The lava which hatches from the egg will later break the pot and emerge and start a life of its own.

40:24.220 --> 40:29.220
These are pots broken by the young and then abandoned.

40:29.220 --> 40:36.220
The young which emerge start to build perfect pots just like their mothers did and with no training.

40:36.220 --> 40:58.220
This wonderful craft they possessed was inspired in them by God, their creator.

40:58.220 --> 41:03.220
Spiders, on the other hand, make their webs with threads from their own bodies.

41:03.220 --> 41:13.220
Spider thread is five times stronger than steel of the same thickness.

41:13.220 --> 41:22.220
Even large flies which move fast through the air cannot escape the strong and flexible trap of the spider web.

41:22.220 --> 41:29.220
There are sticky droplets on black widow spider webs.

41:29.220 --> 41:41.220
It is impossible for prey caught in these webs to free themselves.

41:41.220 --> 41:48.220
The spider's web is sticky, flexible and amazingly strong.

41:48.220 --> 41:54.220
Beyond being a trap, this web is actually an extension of the spider's own body.

41:54.220 --> 42:04.220
The spider feels the vibration of every prey that gets caught in the web and catches it without delay.

42:04.220 --> 42:08.220
The web is produced in the spider's hindquarters.

42:08.220 --> 42:13.220
It pulls the thread produced by a special organ with its legs.

42:13.220 --> 42:18.220
The sticky droplets on the surface of the thread are actually small bunches of thread.

42:18.220 --> 42:22.220
These open out when necessary and the web easily stretches.

42:22.220 --> 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.

42:36.220 --> 43:05.220
There is no doubt that it is possible.

43:05.220 --> 43:11.220
The 19th century may go down in human history as the century of deceptions,

43:11.220 --> 43:15.220
because in that period, many philosophies with no scientific basis,

43:15.220 --> 43:19.220
such as Marxism, were imposed on mankind.

43:24.220 --> 43:29.220
But the greatest deception of the 19th century was the theory of evolution

43:29.220 --> 43:33.220
put forward by the British biologist called Charles Darwin.

43:35.220 --> 43:42.220
In his book, The Origin of Species, published in 1859,

43:42.220 --> 43:48.220
Darwin suggested that all living things in nature had come about as the result of blind chance.

43:51.220 --> 43:56.220
This theory appeared quite believable given the primitive level of 19th century science,

43:56.220 --> 43:59.220
and it was soon widely accepted.

44:06.220 --> 44:11.220
However, modern scientific discoveries have demolished Darwin's claims.

44:17.220 --> 44:20.220
Paleontology, the science of fossils,

44:20.220 --> 44:24.220
shows that different living groups appeared on the Earth suddenly

44:24.220 --> 44:27.220
and underwent no evolution over hundreds of millions of years.

44:31.220 --> 44:37.220
Anatomy and biochemistry have proven that there are very complex structures in living things,

44:37.220 --> 44:39.220
and that these cannot come about by chance.

44:39.220 --> 44:52.220
and biological observations have revealed that nature does not possess the alleged mechanisms

44:52.220 --> 44:54.220
to transform species into one another.

44:54.220 --> 45:01.220
For these reasons, Darwinism today is a theory that has scientifically collapsed.

45:06.220 --> 45:09.220
Animals' intelligent behavior that we have observed in this film

45:09.220 --> 45:13.220
is another important fact that overturns the theory of evolution.

45:13.220 --> 45:16.220
evolution.

45:19.220 --> 45:25.220
Evolutionists call the intelligent behavior that animals exhibit without undergoing any special training,

45:26.220 --> 45:27.220
instinct.

45:27.220 --> 45:28.220
evolution.

45:31.220 --> 45:34.220
But they cannot explain the origin of instinct.

45:37.220 --> 45:39.220
In his book, The Origin of Species,

45:40.220 --> 45:42.220
Darwin devoted a whole section to the subject.

45:47.220 --> 45:49.220
At the very start of this section, entitled instinct,

45:50.220 --> 45:54.220
he admits how deadly the intelligent behavior in animals is to his theory.

45:54.220 --> 46:00.220
So wonderful an instinct as that of the hive bee making its cells

46:01.220 --> 46:03.220
will probably have occurred to many readers

46:04.220 --> 46:07.220
as a difficulty sufficient to overthrow my whole theory.

46:12.220 --> 46:16.220
Darwin was especially baffled by the architectural skills of the honeybee

46:17.220 --> 46:18.220
and asked himself,

46:18.220 --> 46:24.220
what shall we say to so marvelous an instinct as to that which leads the bee to make cells,

46:25.220 --> 46:29.220
which have practically anticipated the discoveries of profound mathematicians?

46:33.220 --> 46:36.220
The answer Darwin gave to this question was habit.

46:37.220 --> 46:40.220
He suggested that a living creature developed a habit over the course of its life,

46:41.220 --> 46:44.220
then passed this habit on to its offspring.

46:44.220 --> 46:47.220
Thus, an inherited instinct developed over time.

46:54.220 --> 46:58.220
Darwin was basing this argument on the theories of the French biologist Lamarck,

46:59.220 --> 47:00.220
who lived before him.

47:03.220 --> 47:06.220
But the science of genetics, which developed in the 20th century,

47:06.220 --> 47:08.220
showed that the Marx theories were pure nonsense,

47:09.220 --> 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.

47:16.220 --> 47:26.220
This proved that Darwin's explanation of instinct was based on mistaken guesswork.

47:27.220 --> 47:31.220
Another dilemma instinct poses to the theory of evolution,

47:32.220 --> 47:36.220
is that Darwin's explanation of instinct was based on mistaken guesswork.

47:36.220 --> 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.

47:51.220 --> 47:55.220
An animal which lacked the necessary instinct would be unable to survive.

47:56.220 --> 48:01.220
An offspring which did not possess the instinct of sucking its mother's milk would be unable to live.

48:01.220 --> 48:08.220
This demonstrates that instinct cannot have come about by stages over time, as evolutionists claim.

48:13.220 --> 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.

48:20.220 --> 48:30.220
In his book, The Great Evolution Mystery, the evolutionist writer Gordon Taylor makes this confession.

48:31.220 --> 48:37.220
When we ask ourselves how an instinctive pattern of behavior arose in the first place,

48:38.220 --> 48:41.220
and became hereditarily fixed, we are given no answer.

48:41.220 --> 48:57.220
It is really impossible for evolutionists to explain where instinct comes from,

48:58.220 --> 49:03.220
because the source is not coincidences as they think, but the inspiration God gives to living things.

50:07.040 --> 50:11.120
expert architects in nature.

50:11.120 --> 50:17.460
By exhibiting these surprising works of architecture, these creatures reveal to us the skills which

50:17.460 --> 50:22.000
are actually given to them by God.

50:22.000 --> 50:29.320
Each one of them acts by God's inspiration, as is announced in a verse of the Quran.

50:29.320 --> 50:39.800
There is no creature he does not hold by the forelock.

50:39.800 --> 50:45.200
Yet there is still another creature that brings forth architectural marvels with the inspiration

50:45.200 --> 50:56.720
and skills given him by God, to whom the most marvelous works in the world belong.

50:56.720 --> 51:10.200
That creature is man.

51:10.200 --> 51:15.160
Many people today are unaware of this fact.

51:15.160 --> 51:21.020
And in the face of people's achievements, they only feel amazement for those people themselves.

51:21.020 --> 51:28.900
Whereas it is God who gives a human being his body, emotions, intelligence, and who inspires

51:28.900 --> 51:33.040
in him the senses of art and aesthetics.

51:33.040 --> 51:39.200
The marvelous works, which people see as man's masterpieces, are actually a manifestation of

51:39.200 --> 51:45.400
God's infinite art and knowledge.

51:45.400 --> 51:50.080
For this reason, the real one we should truly praise, in the face of every kind of aesthetic

51:50.080 --> 51:56.360
beauty and splendor that we see, is the Almighty God, who created all these notions and who inspires

51:56.360 --> 51:59.800
these as he wishes in the living things he creates.

52:09.200 --> 52:18.520
He reveals this fact in the verse of the Quran.

52:18.520 --> 52:24.140
All praise belongs to God, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth, Lord of all the

52:24.140 --> 52:26.280
worlds.

52:26.280 --> 52:31.360
All greatness belongs to him in the heavens and earth.

He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.
