13
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:57,480
The heat and light produced in the sun are actually different forms of the energy known

14
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,400
as electromagnetic radiation.

15
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:27,800
They move through space in the form of energy waves.

16
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:38,220
There are considerable differences in the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.

17
00:04:38,220 --> 00:04:47,100
Some energy waves, radio waves for instance, have wavelengths as long as kilometers.

18
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:56,000
Gamma rays, on the other hand, have wavelengths as short as one trillionth of a meter.

19
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,800
In other words, the wavelengths of these waves have been distributed over an extraordinarily

20
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:07,620
wide spectrum.

21
00:05:07,620 --> 00:05:13,520
It has been calculated that the longest wavelength is some ten trillion trillion times the size

22
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,440
of the shortest one.

23
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:31,520
Ten trillion trillion is an unimaginable number, more than one billion billion million.

24
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,900
We can more easily illustrate this with an example.

25
00:05:36,900 --> 00:05:42,720
If we placed ten trillion trillion pieces of notepaper on top of one another, they would

26
00:05:42,720 --> 00:06:01,920
stretch halfway through the visible universe.

27
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:11,880
Ten trillion trillion, in other words, is a number that baffles the imagination.

28
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:17,640
The curious thing about this, that the electromagnetic energy radiated by our sun is squeezed into an

29
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:28,980
unbelievably narrow range of this giant spectrum.

30
00:06:28,980 --> 00:06:35,640
That range is the equivalent of just one sheet of notepaper from all those billion billion million ones.

31
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:49,940
But why is that?

32
00:06:49,940 --> 00:06:53,220
The answer to that question is most important.

33
00:06:53,220 --> 00:06:58,640
Because the rays that can support life on Earth are only the rays within that range.

34
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:09,920
In his book, Energy in the Atmosphere, the British physicist Ian Campbell addresses this question

35
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:19,980
and says that the radiation from the sun and from many sequenced stars should be concentrated

36
00:07:19,980 --> 00:07:25,580
into a minuscule band of the electromagnetic spectrum which provides precisely the radiation

37
00:07:25,580 --> 00:07:31,920
required to maintain life on Earth is very remarkable.

38
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,860
Let us now have a closer look at this most extraordinary design in light.

39
00:07:55,580 --> 00:08:06,760
The electromagnetic energy given off by the sun serves two important functions from the

40
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,120
point of view of living things.

41
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,380
As heat energy, it heats the surface of the Earth and thus maintains the range within which

42
00:08:16,380 --> 00:08:18,860
living things can survive.

43
00:08:18,860 --> 00:08:27,420
As light energy, it serves as the vehicle for a great miracle, photosynthesis.

44
00:08:27,420 --> 00:08:33,900
Photosynthesis is the way green plants use the energy from the sun to create nourishment.

45
00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:43,080
Cells known as chloroplasts in their leaves carry out the most complex processes.

46
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:48,540
Chloroplasts work just like a chemical laboratory, with several chain reactions taking place every

47
00:08:48,540 --> 00:09:09,600
second.

48
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,120
The only production of nourishment in the world is the extraordinary chemical process carried

49
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,440
out by plants.

50
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:23,920
All other living things are nourished from this one source.

51
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:32,600
When herbivores consume plants, they take in this energy that comes from the sun.

52
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:40,900
Carnivores obtain the same energy by eating herbivores.

53
00:09:40,900 --> 00:09:49,700
Three human beings obtain the same energy by means of both plants and animals.

54
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:55,920
For that reason, every apple, potato, chocolate bar or piece of steak we eat actually provides

55
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:10,720
us with energy from the sun.

56
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:16,600
Another very important result of photosynthesis is that it produces oxygen.

57
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:21,320
Human beings and animals lower the level of oxygen in the atmosphere a little bit every

58
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,720
time they breathe.

59
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:34,200
Yet plants replace that oxygen by means of photosynthesis.

60
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:48,020
In short, photosynthesis is a very well designed process.

61
00:10:48,020 --> 00:10:56,880
There is complete equilibrium between photosynthesis and human and animal energy consumption.

62
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:04,800
We burn the glucose and oxygen in our cells.

63
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:21,640
In that way, we are able to obtain and use the solar energy that plants store in glucose.

64
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:27,660
As a result of this, we produce carbon dioxide as a waste product and give it off into the

65
00:11:27,660 --> 00:11:28,660
atmosphere.

66
00:11:28,660 --> 00:11:35,800
Yet this carbon dioxide can be reused by plants for photosynthesis.

67
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:42,000
This perfect cycle constantly continues in just this manner.

68
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,180
In order to see the flawless harmony with which this process was created, let us concentrate

69
00:11:47,180 --> 00:12:07,460
on just one of the factors within that process, sunlight.

70
00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:13,740
We have already said that light from the sun was specially designed for life on earth.

71
00:12:13,740 --> 00:12:19,720
This important adjustment appears once again when we examine photosynthesis, because the

72
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:26,880
process can only be carried out with sunlight and no other.

73
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:37,740
In his book, The Symbiotic Universe, the American astronomer George Greenstein writes,

74
00:12:37,740 --> 00:12:41,320
The Chlorophyll is the molecule that accomplishes photosynthesis.

75
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,460
The mechanism of photosynthesis is initiated by the absorption of sunlight by a chlorophyll

76
00:12:46,460 --> 00:12:48,020
molecule.

77
00:12:48,020 --> 00:12:53,720
But in order for this to occur, the light must be of the right color.

78
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,100
Light of the wrong color won't do the trick.

79
00:12:57,100 --> 00:13:00,320
A good analogy is that of a television set.

80
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:05,600
In order for the set to receive a given channel, it must be tuned to that channel.

81
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,140
Tune it differently and the reception will not occur.

82
00:13:09,140 --> 00:13:11,840
It is the same with photosynthesis.

83
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,480
The sun functioning as the transmitter in the analogy and the chlorophyll molecule as the

84
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,520
receiving TV set.

85
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:25,580
If the molecule in the sun are not tuned to each other, tuned in the sense of color, photosynthesis

86
00:13:25,580 --> 00:13:27,500
will not occur.

87
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:38,800
As it turns out, the sun's color is just right.

88
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:44,400
In short, there is a compatibility between sunlight and photosynthesis that cannot possibly

89
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,140
be the result of chance.

90
00:13:47,140 --> 00:13:53,540
That compatibility shows us that the same infinitely powerful creator actually created the sun, the

91
00:13:53,540 --> 00:13:56,440
earth and everything in it.

92
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,920
That infinitely powerful creator is the almighty God.

93
00:14:23,540 --> 00:14:29,660
Right from the beginning of this film, we have been looking at various features of the sun,

94
00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:34,400
and we saw how these had been specially designed to support life.

95
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:40,240
Yet there is another factor in this regard which we have not yet dealt with.

96
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:49,140
The sun's rays have to overcome one very important obstacle before reaching the earth's surface,

97
00:14:49,140 --> 00:15:00,120
the atmosphere.

98
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,720
If the atmosphere did not possess the kind of structure to allow those rays through, then

99
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,380
they would be no use to us, of course.

100
00:15:08,380 --> 00:15:13,200
The really interesting thing is not so much that the atmosphere allows beneficial sunlight

101
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:19,420
to pass, but that sunlight is the only radiation that it allows through.

102
00:15:19,420 --> 00:15:25,640
Because as the atmosphere allows those rays necessary for life to pass, it also blocks all those rays

103
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:54,080
that would otherwise be fatal.

104
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,700
It is impossible to ignore the artfulness of this design.

105
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:04,200
The sun sends only one ten trillion trillionth of the whole range of electromagnetic radiation

106
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,820
that could be sent.

107
00:16:05,820 --> 00:16:09,140
That happens to be the range that is good only for us.

108
00:16:09,140 --> 00:16:14,960
And that is the radiation that the atmosphere lets through.

109
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:20,380
Commenting on this situation, Encyclopedia Britannica admits how extraordinary it all is.

110
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:33,400
Considering the importance of visible sunlight for all aspects of terrestrial life, one cannot

111
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:39,340
help being awed by the dramatically narrow window in that atmosphere absorption and in the absorption

112
00:16:39,340 --> 00:16:54,340
spectrum of water.

113
00:16:54,340 --> 00:16:59,820
Materialist philosophy claims that human life appeared in the universe by chance and that

114
00:16:59,820 --> 00:17:04,820
it is an accident with no purpose whatsoever.

115
00:17:04,820 --> 00:17:10,820
However, the facts that have emerged as science advances shows that there is actually a design

116
00:17:10,820 --> 00:17:17,820
and plan in every detail of the universe.

117
00:17:17,820 --> 00:17:23,700
It is such a design that even such a component as light, which one might never have thought

118
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:34,820
about before, is so clearly just right that one can't help but be amazed.

119
00:17:34,820 --> 00:17:43,280
Trying to account for such careful design as accidental is totally irrational.

120
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:49,100
Such extraordinarily fine-tuning as this can be explained not by chance, but only by intelligent

121
00:17:49,100 --> 00:17:51,000
design.

122
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:56,160
This in turn shows that God has created and ordered the whole universe in a manner compatible

123
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:08,180
with life.

124
00:18:08,180 --> 00:18:13,400
This conclusion that science has led to is something that people were taught in the Koran fourteen

125
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,280
centuries ago.

126
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,320
Science shows that sunlight was created for us.

127
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:24,880
In other words, that it was placed at our service.

128
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,740
God stated this in the Koran in these terms.

129
00:18:28,740 --> 00:18:35,140
The sun and the moon both run with precision.

130
00:18:35,140 --> 00:18:40,820
God is He who created the heavens and the earth and sends down water from the sky, and by it

131
00:18:40,820 --> 00:18:44,420
brings forth fruits as provision for you.

132
00:18:44,420 --> 00:18:50,280
He has made the sun and the moon subservient to you, holding steady to their courses.

133
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,800
And He has made the night and day subservient to you.

134
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,280
He has given you everything you have asked Him for.

135
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:02,240
If you tried to number God's blessings, you could never count them.

136
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,240
One is indeed wrongdoing, ungrateful.

137
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:04,880
One is indeed wrongdoing, ungrateful.

138
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:05,880
You are now BE SORTUNSIGHT.

139
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:06,980
You are now in the doomed generations.

140
00:19:06,980 --> 00:19:08,200
Do not count them anytime He has made dilemma.

141
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,940
Do not count them?

142
00:19:09,940 --> 00:19:17,980
That is your individual.*

143
00:19:17,980 --> 00:19:23,820
Or, perhaps, hisisiacritical dream of the advice or gooddie?

144
00:19:23,820 --> 00:19:25,200
Do not lean on in, aceite for you.

145
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,280
contribuiatishly for you.

146
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:33,040
You take your chances ofriminate these systems and condemnation.

147
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:39,080
We have so far seen the magnificent features of sunlight and witnessed God's creative artistry.

148
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,760
In this section we shall be concentrating on another vital issue and seeing another

149
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,920
instance of design, the design in water.

150
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:12,580
Much of the earth is covered in water.

151
00:20:12,580 --> 00:20:24,380
The oceans and seas represent some three quarters of the earth's surface.

152
00:20:24,380 --> 00:20:36,020
There are also countless lakes and rivers on land.

153
00:20:36,020 --> 00:20:47,860
The snow that covers the peaks of the high mountains is merely frozen water.

154
00:20:47,860 --> 00:20:53,440
An important part of the world's water is actually in the sky.

155
00:20:53,440 --> 00:21:02,100
The oceans contain millions of tons of water in the form of vapor.

156
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:08,400
Even the air you are breathing at this moment contains a certain amount of water vapor.

157
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:17,080
Furthermore, water makes up some 70% of the human body.

158
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:25,380
There is more water in our cells than anything else.

159
00:21:25,380 --> 00:21:29,740
Most of the blood that flows through our body is also water.

160
00:21:29,740 --> 00:21:38,860
In short, there can be no life without water.

161
00:21:38,860 --> 00:21:44,580
Water has been specially designed as the foundation of life and is a substance whose physical and

162
00:21:44,580 --> 00:21:56,580
chemical features have been created for life.

163
00:21:56,580 --> 00:22:03,580
Let us now together have a look at some of the surprising characteristics of water.

164
00:22:03,580 --> 00:22:33,560
Like all known substances, liquids also contract and lose volume as their temperature

165
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:34,560
falls.

166
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:42,860
As volume falls, density increases, making the cold areas heavier.

167
00:22:42,860 --> 00:22:47,220
That is why liquids are heavier in frozen form than in liquid.

168
00:22:47,220 --> 00:22:55,280
Yet water, unlike all other known liquids, grows heavier until it reaches 4 degrees, at which point everything

169
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:56,900
changes.

170
00:22:56,900 --> 00:23:03,680
After this, the water begins to expand and it becomes lighter as the temperature drops.

171
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:09,660
So water is lighter in its frozen state than as a liquid.

172
00:23:09,660 --> 00:23:15,600
According to the laws of physics, ice should be heavier than normal water, but it is actually

173
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,600
lighter.

174
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:22,580
That surprising fact has one very important result.

175
00:23:22,580 --> 00:23:26,660
Ice thus floats on water, and that is of vital importance.

176
00:23:39,660 --> 00:23:53,800
There are many places in the world where the temperature falls below zero degrees centigrade

177
00:23:53,800 --> 00:24:00,580
in winter.

178
00:24:00,580 --> 00:24:04,840
Such cold naturally affects seas and lakes.

179
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:13,780
The surface water freezes at zero degrees centigrade, yet only the surface freezes.

180
00:24:13,780 --> 00:24:19,340
The layer below, at four degrees centigrade, is enough for fish and other water dwellers

181
00:24:19,340 --> 00:24:33,840
to survive.

182
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,820
This transmits very little of the cold in the air to the water layer beneath it.

183
00:24:38,820 --> 00:24:45,340
That is why, even if outside temperatures are as low as minus fifty degrees, the ice layer

184
00:24:45,340 --> 00:24:48,900
never exceeds one or two meters.

185
00:24:48,900 --> 00:24:54,620
This allows seals, bears, and other polar creatures to make holes in the ice and reach

186
00:24:54,620 --> 00:25:07,000
the sea beneath.

187
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:18,120
What would happen if things were different, if the ice sank to the bottom?

188
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:27,440
In that event, the oceans, seas and lakes would begin to freeze from the bottom up.

189
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:33,060
Everything from the bottom up would continue right up to the top, since there was no ice layer on the surface

190
00:25:33,060 --> 00:25:39,120
to keep back the cold.

191
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:52,060
That would mean many of the world's lakes, seas and oceans turning into giant blocks of ice.

192
00:25:52,060 --> 00:26:15,040
A layer of water a few meters thick would remain on the surface, and even if air temperatures rose, the ice at the bottom would never melt.

193
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:31,020
Even if air temperatures rose, the ice at the bottom would never melt.

194
00:26:31,020 --> 00:26:50,020
It would be impossible for land-dwelling creatures to exist in an ecological system in which the seas were lifeless.

195
00:26:50,020 --> 00:27:00,200
In short, if water behaved like other liquids, the Earth would be a dead planet.

196
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:06,580
Yet thanks to God's might and flawless creation, our world is actually a planet teeming with life.

197
00:27:20,020 --> 00:27:50,000
Water's different thermal properties also play a major role in the Earth's having a warm and balanced climate.

198
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Thanks to water's molecular properties, the seas warm up and cool down slower than the land.

199
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:06,000
That means that while the temperature difference between the hottest and coldest places on land can reach as high as 140 degrees centigrade,

200
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:11,000
the difference is no more than 15 to 20 degrees in the sea.

201
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:29,000
The same thing also applies to day and night temperature differences.

202
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:41,000
The difference in temperature between day and night is 20 to 30 degrees in dry regions, but only a few degrees in the sea.

203
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,000
And not just the seas.

204
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:50,000
The water vapor in the air also establishes a very great balance.

205
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:58,000
One result of this is that the temperature difference between day and night is greater in deserts, where there is less water vapor,

206
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:05,000
than in regions close to the sea, where there is more.

207
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Thanks to these unique thermal properties of water, the temperature differences between summer and winter, or day and night,

208
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:42,000
are kept within limits that all living things can endure.

209
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,000
If there were less water than land on Earth, or if the thermal properties of water were a little different,

210
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,000
then the difference between day and night time temperatures would rise,

211
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:56,000
most land regions would turn into desert, and life would become impossible.

212
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:06,000
呀噤 啊

213
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:13,300
我

214
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,760
啊

215
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,560
吽

216
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:32,760
Alongside all these physical properties of water, its chemical properties are also extraordinarily

217
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,620
ideal for life.

218
00:30:36,620 --> 00:30:41,500
Foremost among these properties is that it is an excellent solvent.

219
00:30:41,500 --> 00:30:53,080
Nearly all chemical substances are soluble in water.

220
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:57,280
The most important effect of this on life can be seen in rivers.

221
00:31:11,500 --> 00:31:19,120
Countless beneficial minerals and similar chemicals are carried to the sea by means

222
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:28,080
of rivers.

223
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:35,020
In this way, some five billion tons of chemical substances are carried to the sea every year.

224
00:31:35,020 --> 00:31:52,780
These substances are essential for life in the oceans.

225
00:31:52,780 --> 00:32:01,360
Another chemical property of water is that its chemical reactivity is at the ideal level.

226
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:06,880
Water is neither an excessively reactive and thus destructive chemical like sulfuric acid

227
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:22,120
nor an inert substance like argon that enters into no reactions at all.

228
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:27,300
The compatibility of water's chemical properties with life emerges in even more detail with

229
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:38,060
every new piece of research.

230
00:32:38,060 --> 00:32:43,880
Harold Merowitz, the well-known professor of biophysics at Yale University, makes the following

231
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,980
comment.

232
00:32:47,980 --> 00:32:57,160
The past few years I've witnessed the developing study of a newly understood property of water,

233
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:02,420
that is proton conductance, that appears to be almost unique to that substance, is a key

234
00:33:02,420 --> 00:33:07,940
element in biological energy transfer and was almost certainly of importance to the origin

235
00:33:07,940 --> 00:33:10,120
of life.

236
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:15,060
The more we learn, the more impressed some of us become with nature's fitness in a very

237
00:33:15,060 --> 00:33:25,200
precise sense.

238
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,100
It is clear how important water is for human life.

239
00:33:29,100 --> 00:33:34,900
In fact, in many verses of the Quran, God has drawn attention to the fact that water has been

240
00:33:34,900 --> 00:33:43,660
given to man as a great blessing and has been made constant on the earth.

241
00:33:43,660 --> 00:33:49,000
We sent down a measured amount of water from heaven and lodged it firmly in the earth, and

242
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,660
we are well able to remove it.

243
00:33:51,660 --> 00:33:56,780
By means of it we produce gardens of dates and grapes for you, in which there are many fruits

244
00:33:56,780 --> 00:34:01,660
for you and from which you eat.

245
00:34:01,660 --> 00:34:07,180
He who created the heavens and the earth, and sends down water for you from the sky by

246
00:34:07,180 --> 00:34:14,400
which we make luxurian gardens grow, you could never make their trees grow.

247
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,440
Is there another deity besides God?

248
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,380
No indeed, but they are people who equate others with Him.

249
00:34:22,380 --> 00:34:28,060
He who made the earth a stable dwelling place, and appointed rivers flowing through its mist,

250
00:34:28,060 --> 00:34:33,920
and placed firmly embedded mountains on it, and set a barrier between the two seas.

251
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,260
Is there another deity besides God?

252
00:34:37,260 --> 00:34:40,400
No indeed, but most of them do not know it.

253
00:34:52,380 --> 00:35:19,000
Whenever liquid is mentioned, one immediately thinks of a very fluid substance.

254
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:24,760
Whereas the fact is that the viscosity levels of liquids differ greatly.

255
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:34,560
For instance, the viscosities of tar, glycerine, olive oil, and sulfuric acid are all very different.

256
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:39,840
Enormous differences emerge when these liquids are compared.

257
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:47,600
That is because water is 10 billion times more fluid than tar, 1,000 times more than glycerine,

258
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:55,060
100 times more than olive oil, and 25 times more than sulfuric acid.

259
00:35:55,060 --> 00:36:00,980
So what is the importance of water's low level of viscosity for us?

260
00:36:00,980 --> 00:36:09,740
If this vital liquid were a little more or less viscous, would it make a great difference to us?

261
00:36:09,740 --> 00:36:21,980
Professor of microbiology Michael Denton supplies the answer.

262
00:36:21,980 --> 00:36:32,940
If the viscosity was higher, the controlled movement of large macromolecules and particularly structures

263
00:36:32,940 --> 00:36:39,740
such as mitochondria and small organelles would be impossible, as would processes like cell division.

264
00:36:39,740 --> 00:36:46,800
All the vital activities of the cell would be effectively frozen, and cellular life of any

265
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:52,700
sort remotely resembling that with which we are familiar would be impossible.

266
00:36:52,700 --> 00:36:57,520
The development of higher organisms, which is critically dependent on the ability of cells

267
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:03,480
to move and crawl around during embryogenesis, would certainly be impossible if the viscosity

268
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:17,400
of water was even slightly greater than it is.

269
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:31,800
Water's low viscosity is essential not only for cellular motion, but also for the circulatory system.

270
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:37,200
There are a large number of cells in the body, and the air and energy taken in from outside

271
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:42,540
need to be pumped to the cells by a number of tubes and waste products need to be collected

272
00:37:42,540 --> 00:37:45,240
by others.

273
00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:52,560
These tubes are the vessels of the circulatory system.

274
00:37:52,560 --> 00:38:00,120
The heart is the pump responsible for circulation within those vessels.

275
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:06,160
The substance that flows in them is the liquid we know as blood, the fundamental component of which

276
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:12,600
is water.

277
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:18,020
The duty of the vessels is to carry essential substances such as oxygen, energy, nutrition

278
00:38:18,020 --> 00:38:22,940
and hormones to every cell in the body.

279
00:38:22,940 --> 00:38:31,000
The total length of the average 5 billion capillary vessels in our bodies is some 950 kilometers.

280
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:37,180
In some mammals, there may be as many as 3,000 open capillaries in just one square millimeter

281
00:38:37,180 --> 00:38:42,680
of muscle tissue.

282
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:47,380
It is thanks to the low viscosity of water that blood is able to circulate in our vessels

283
00:38:47,380 --> 00:38:53,300
without becoming congested or slowing down.

284
00:38:53,300 --> 00:38:59,480
Michael Denton explains that if water's viscosity were just a bit more than what it is, the blood

285
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:05,300
circulatory system would be completely useless.

286
00:39:05,300 --> 00:39:18,700
A capillary system will work only if the fluid being pumped through its constituent tubes has

287
00:39:18,700 --> 00:39:20,900
a very low viscosity.

288
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:27,900
A low viscosity is essential because flow is inversely proportional to the viscosity.

289
00:39:27,900 --> 00:39:33,780
From this, it is easy to see that if the viscosity of water had a value only a few times greater

290
00:39:33,780 --> 00:39:40,620
than it is, pumping blood through a capillary bed would require enormous pressure and almost

291
00:39:40,620 --> 00:39:45,180
any sort of circulatory system would be unworkable.

292
00:39:45,180 --> 00:39:50,420
If the viscosity of water had been slightly greater and the smallest functional capillaries

293
00:39:50,420 --> 00:39:56,600
had been 10 microns in diameter instead of 3, then the capillaries would have to occupy

294
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:03,760
virtually all of the muscle tissue to provide an effective supply of oxygen and glucose.

295
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:10,600
Obviously the design of macroscopic life forms would be impossible or enormously constrained.

296
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:16,100
It seems then, the viscosity of water must be very close to what it is if water is to

297
00:40:16,100 --> 00:40:19,600
be a fit medium for life.

298
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:32,220
To put it another way, just like all its other properties, the viscosity of water is at the ideal

299
00:40:32,220 --> 00:40:35,060
level for life.

300
00:40:35,060 --> 00:40:41,220
Looking at the viscosities of different liquids, we see that they differ by factors of many billions.

301
00:40:41,220 --> 00:40:47,220
But water has been created at just the right level from all the billions of different alternatives.

302
00:40:47,220 --> 00:40:50,920
And it hit me to work.

303
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,220
We will continue to come to Allah's memory and East from the public.

304
00:40:54,220 --> 00:41:06,020
We'll still be sure that there is no topic of water just spinning.

305
00:41:06,060 --> 00:41:11,040
Even though it is a Every moment that you have to sea formax, às a few importantly, the

306
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,020
lobbies, as you have to be rooted in sea forience.

307
00:41:13,020 --> 00:41:27,120
Everything we have seen throughout this film has clearly revealed that our world is not

308
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:33,320
an aimless unguided chance collection of matter, but that on the contrary it has been designed

309
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:41,400
in the most sensitive manner with the aim of sustaining life.

310
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:47,280
In this film we have witnessed how the rays from the sun that reach us, the water we drink

311
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:53,460
or that make up our bodies or the air we draw into our lungs at every moment are all totally

312
00:41:53,460 --> 00:42:01,920
suited to our life.

313
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:07,080
In short, all our investigations into the earth reveal that there is a perfect design that

314
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:25,660
allows living things to survive in it.

315
00:42:25,660 --> 00:42:29,080
The implications of this design are obvious.

316
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:34,420
The design concealed within every detail of the universe is most certainly proof of the

317
00:42:34,420 --> 00:42:48,060
existence of a creator who is in control of every detail and whose power and wisdom are infinite.

318
00:42:48,060 --> 00:42:53,440
Whichever physical law or variable we may examine in this world, it can be seen that it is the

319
00:42:53,440 --> 00:43:15,060
product not of chance but rather of a perfect design.

320
00:43:15,060 --> 00:43:20,640
Another important truth revealed by modern science is that all the countless balances we have

321
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:26,660
seen also prevail throughout the entire universe.

322
00:43:26,660 --> 00:43:32,940
All the research in the universe over the last 20 years shows that it is the product of a magnificent

323
00:43:32,940 --> 00:43:41,100
design and that this design especially supports life on earth.

324
00:43:41,100 --> 00:43:50,020
The British physicist John Polkinghorne sums up this truth.

325
00:43:50,020 --> 00:43:53,520
There is a mind and purpose behind the universe.

326
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:58,860
There are hints of that divine presence in how abstract mathematics can penetrate the universe's

327
00:43:58,860 --> 00:44:04,760
secrets which suggests that a rational mind created the world.

328
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:11,760
Fear is fine-tuned to allow life and consciousness to emerge.

329
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:22,640
Naturally, the fact that our earth which occupies such a minute space in the universe has been

330
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:28,760
designed to a particular end means that it is God who has created and ordered it.

331
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:39,380
All these sensitive balances on the earth are clear evidence of God's superior art of creation.

332
00:44:39,380 --> 00:44:44,760
The conclusion arrived at by modern science is nothing else than a truth set out in the

333
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:49,220
Qur'an 1400 years ago.

334
00:44:49,220 --> 00:44:58,100
This is how God states that truth in the Qur'an.

335
00:44:58,100 --> 00:45:03,900
Your Lord is God who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then settled himself

336
00:45:03,900 --> 00:45:05,900
firmly on the throne.

337
00:45:05,900 --> 00:45:11,720
He covers the day with the night, each pursuing the other urgently, and the sun and the moon

338
00:45:11,720 --> 00:45:35,600
and the stars are subservient to his command.

339
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:47,980
Your Lord is God so"...

340
00:45:47,980 --> 00:45:59,500
My God that wonderful love will drop the earth through the earth.

341
00:45:59,500 --> 00:46:29,480
Thank you.

342
00:46:29,500 --> 00:46:59,480
Thank you.
