1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,640
What do you need most at this very moment?

2
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:14,820
A good education?

3
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:16,980
A good job?

4
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:18,820
A career?

5
00:00:20,180 --> 00:00:20,820
Money?

6
00:00:23,820 --> 00:00:27,940
Every individual sets out goals that are important to him or her.

7
00:00:27,940 --> 00:00:32,740
Some are short-term, and others long.

8
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:39,360
Yet not one of these needs is as important as one blessing you possess at every moment.

9
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:41,560
Breathing.

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,320
It has been 39 seconds since this film began.

11
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,160
If you had been unable to breathe for 39 seconds,

12
00:00:50,740 --> 00:00:54,720
you would have given up all you owned in order to be able to breathe again.

13
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,880
In another minute or so, you would have lost consciousness.

14
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,760
Brain death would follow in another two or three minutes,

15
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,800
and your life would be at an end.

16
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:20,840
You have now taken some 16 breaths since this film began.

17
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,500
You will have taken another 200 or so by the time it ends.

18
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:35,120
And you will see what a great blessing breathing is,

19
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,380
and how each one of the systems which allow you to breathe is a great miracle.

20
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,920
And you will witness examples of God's art of creation in your body.

21
00:01:47,920 --> 00:02:11,860
God bless you.

22
00:02:11,860 --> 00:02:41,840
We'll be right back.

23
00:02:41,860 --> 00:02:53,060
Breathing.

24
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:02,480
This process, which seems so simple and which very few people ever think about, is actually the first link in a miracle.

25
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,480
Every cell in our bodies needs the oxygen provided by breathing.

26
00:03:11,860 --> 00:03:27,280
The beating of your heart, the movements of your muscles, cell division, thought, none of these would be possible without oxygen.

27
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:35,700
One breath is enough for oxygen to enter the body.

28
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,180
A deep breath is, of course, even more effective.

29
00:03:39,180 --> 00:04:09,160
Yes, it is more effective.

30
00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:20,420
Let us now have a close look at this flawless mechanism which goes into action at birth and never stops as long as we live.

31
00:04:20,420 --> 00:04:25,420
We shall begin to see you now.

32
00:04:25,420 --> 00:04:27,980
We'll be right back.

33
00:04:27,980 --> 00:04:29,720
We'll be right back.

34
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:57,820
We must commence our examination of the respiratory system at the nose, the gateway to the system.

35
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:09,720
We usually think of the nose's ability to detect smells. Yet it has another important function.

36
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:17,720
The nose makes the air we breathe suitable for the lungs. It possesses a marvelous aerodynamic design.

37
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,720
It works like a perfect air conditioning unit and its interior is equipped with special filters.

38
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,720
The curled structure of the nose allows the air to move around inside it.

39
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:40,720
The air is thus warmed and moistened by the nasal mucus.

40
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,720
The hairs inside the nose work like an air filter.

41
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:53,720
Around 20 billion foreign bodies such as dust, bacteria and pollen are trapped by these hairs in the nostrils.

42
00:05:53,720 --> 00:06:00,720
Those harmful particles which get past these obstacles are caught by a second defense mechanism, the secretion known as mucus.

43
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:12,720
For more information, visit www.fema.gov.au.

44
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:24,720
www.fema.gov.au.

45
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,720
www.fema.gov.au.

46
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:40,720
The upper respiratory tract and windpipe are covered in a viscous, slippery substance called mucus.

47
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:55,720
This keeps the air passages moist.

48
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,720
It also stops harmful substances from reaching the lungs.

49
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:07,720
Mucus is assisted by the cilia.

50
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:15,720
Each one of these is a mobile propellant and carries the mucus with the foreign bodies stuck in it to the pharynx.

51
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:30,720
Here they are swallowed together with the foreign bodies as a result of the swallowing reflex and are then destroyed by the stomach acid.

52
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,720
Alternatively, these foreign bodies may be expelled by coughing.

53
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:41,720
A violent cough can reach speeds of up to 960 kilometers or 600 miles an hour.

54
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:49,720
This is one of the pieces of evidence that serious precautions have been taken to protect the respiratory system.

55
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,720
There is another point here that needs to be considered.

56
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:02,720
The cilia in the nasal passage carry the mucus upward.

57
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:11,720
The cilia in the upper respiratory tract, on the other hand, move in a downward direction.

58
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,720
In both regions, foreign bodies are carried towards the pharynx.

59
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:27,720
The billions of cilia in both different regions literally know where the pharynx lies.

60
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,720
Close inspection reveals a most important miracle here.

61
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,720
Cilia are minute structures with no ears, eyes or brain.

62
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:44,720
So how is it that these blind, deaf structures know the location of the pharynx?

63
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,720
All the billions of cilia move together in the same direction.

64
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,720
Who teaches the cilia that they all need to move as one in the same direction?

65
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,720
Let us consider just one of these cilia.

66
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:01,720
It is a living thing.

67
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,720
Ever since it came into the world and throughout its life, it has just one function.

68
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,720
It performs that one function without rest or protest.

69
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,720
It carries the mucus layer to the pharynx.

70
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:29,720
It is almighty God, who has created man in the finest form, who gives them this duty.

71
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:37,720
These miraculous structures perform the function God has given them and work day and night to protect your lungs from foreign bodies.

72
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:45,720
Close examination of the structure of the cilia makes the scale of the miracle even clearer.

73
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:56,720
Under the microscope, the cilia resemble simple tiny hairs, but they are actually a marvel of design and engineering.

74
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:04,720
And they possess a complexity that those circles who defend the theory of evolution can never hope to explain.

75
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:14,720
Nine different protein chains have been brought together in such a way as to form a cylinder.

76
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,720
The two protein chains in the middle are the system's central motion generator.

77
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:28,720
The proteins Dynine and Nexine, set out among the protein chains, represent the engines necessary for movement.

78
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:38,720
Thanks to this complex system, which scientists have still to fully reveal, the cilia move at the high speed of 20 beats a second.

79
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:48,720
The design in the cilia cannot be accounted for in terms of evolution, because the system only works if all its components are fully present.

80
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,720
It is impossible for it to have developed in stages.

81
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,720
In other words, for it to have evolved.

82
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,720
There is another point which should not be forgotten.

83
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,720
Cilia serve no purpose on their own.

84
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:08,720
They need to work together with the mucus layer in order to protect human life and prevent the entry of foreign bodies.

85
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,720
Mucus also turns out to be a marvel of design when examined up close.

86
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,720
The mucus layer is rather thin.

87
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,720
On the screen you can see a 30 cm ruler.

88
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,720
Now let us have a look at a 1 mm length of that ruler.

89
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,720
Now let us divide that 1 mm part into 600.

90
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:41,720
1 600th of a millimeter is so small a number that one cannot imagine it.

91
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,720
That is the thickness of the mucus layer which protects your health.

92
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,720
1 600th of a millimeter.

93
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,720
Moreover, this thin layer consists of two separate sub layers.

94
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,720
The bottom one is rather slippery.

95
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,720
This enables the cilia to carry the mucus in a particular direction.

96
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:16,720
The top layer, in other words the safety layer, is rather viscous, which allows it to trap harmful bodies.

97
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:23,720
These two layers never get mixed up or change places.

98
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:34,720
In order to better understand the perfection of the design in the system, let us imagine for a moment that the layers did change place.

99
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:43,720
If the viscous layer were at the bottom, then the cilia would be unable to move and would stick where they were.

100
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:53,720
If the slippery layer were on top, then dust and bacteria could easily reach the lungs without being caught by the mucus.

101
00:12:53,720 --> 00:13:02,720
In either event, the system would serve no purpose and human beings would catch diseases which eventually resulted in their deaths.

102
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,720
This system has been functioning flawlessly since the first human beings came into existence.

103
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:14,720
Darwinists claim that this system came into being by chance, stage by stage.

104
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,720
Yet that is impossible.

105
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:26,720
As we have just seen, the slightest irregularity or deficiency in the system would cause it to serve no purpose.

106
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:33,720
This is an important piece of evidence invalidating Darwinism.

107
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,720
The cilia would serve you day and night.

108
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,720
The mucle secretion with its own very special design.

109
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:49,720
And the aerodynamic design inside the nose all go to prove one very important truth.

110
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:50,720
God created you.

111
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:58,720
The artistry and design evident in every part of your body are proofs of the might of God.

112
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,720
In one verse, he states,

113
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:14,720
We created you, so why do you not confirm the truth?

114
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:15,720
Confirm the truth.

115
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:51,720
The longest leg on the journey to the lungs is that in the windpipe.

116
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,720
The structure of the windpipe is yet another example of the perfect design of the human body.

117
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,720
The walls of the windpipe are supported by C-shaped rings of cartilage.

118
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,720
This allows movement in different directions.

119
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:18,720
If the windpipe were made of flesh alone, the resulting softness would lead to constant blockages.

120
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,720
That would make it impossible for us to breathe.

121
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:30,720
If it were made of something as hard as bone, then our movements would be, to a large extent, restricted.

122
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:38,720
Yet the cartilaginous structure which makes up the windpipe is perfectly suited to all the muscles.

123
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:40,720
All kinds of movement.

124
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,720
And it always remains open due to its flexibility.

125
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,720
There is another very special design right in the entrance to the windpipe.

126
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,720
This design saves our lives every time we have something to eat.

127
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:00,720
How is that?

128
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:09,720
The esophagus and the windpipe lie side by side in the throat.

129
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,720
One might therefore expect that when eating, as I am doing now,

130
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:26,720
the food might get stuck in my windpipe and choke me.

131
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,720
Yet nothing of the sort happens.

132
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,720
Ancak böyle olmaz.

133
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,720
Although I continue to eat and breathe, the food never gets caught in my windpipe.

134
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,720
So what is it that protects me, and you of course, when eating?

135
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:45,720
When eating?

136
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:46,720
What is it that protects me when eating?

137
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,720
What is it that protects me when eating?

138
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:48,720
When eating?

139
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:57,100
There is a small flap of elastic cartilage called the epiglottis right at the entrance

140
00:16:57,100 --> 00:16:58,820
of the windpipe.

141
00:16:58,820 --> 00:17:03,540
This flap automatically closes the entrance to the windpipe during swallowing.

142
00:17:03,540 --> 00:17:08,660
During all the thousands of meals you have eaten, from babyhood right up to the present,

143
00:17:08,660 --> 00:17:11,880
you have swallowed tens of thousands of times.

144
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:17,160
And every single time this little flap has closed the entrance to your windpipe at exactly

145
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,680
the right moment.

146
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:23,860
Although you are unaware of its presence and can exert no control over it, this little

147
00:17:23,860 --> 00:17:37,100
flap has saved your life by closing the entrance to your windpipe at just the right moment.

148
00:17:37,100 --> 00:17:44,020
As always, the theory of evolution is quite helpless in the face of this system.

149
00:17:44,020 --> 00:17:47,120
It is impossible for such an important system, the absence of which would be fatal to you.

150
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:52,300
The absence of which would be fatal to human life, to have come about by chance, stage

151
00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:53,880
by stage.

152
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:59,120
In the absence of that system, a human being would choke the first moment he took a bite

153
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:01,080
to eat.

154
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:06,080
This is yet another proof that God created all the features possessed by human beings.

155
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:30,240
This is whether or not it was the first one, the further one.

156
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:41,680
Body tissues produce carbon dioxide as a result of their daily functions.

157
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,860
This carbon dioxide is carried away from the tissues by the blood.

158
00:18:46,860 --> 00:19:02,640
This blood, loaded with carbon dioxide, is dirty blood.

159
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:08,140
In order for the blood to be cleaned, it needs to make contact with the air.

160
00:19:08,140 --> 00:19:16,040
The oxygen in the air and the carbon dioxide in the blood will thus be exchanged.

161
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,420
There are around 5 liters of blood in the human body.

162
00:19:19,420 --> 00:19:25,580
In order to be aired, this 5 liters of blood needs to spread over an area of around 100

163
00:19:25,580 --> 00:19:27,500
square meters.

164
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:39,940
That is equivalent to the area of a tennis court.

165
00:19:39,940 --> 00:19:46,700
Everyone watching this film has an area the size of a tennis court squeezed into his lungs

166
00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:54,320
by the incomparable art of God's creation.

167
00:19:54,320 --> 00:20:05,880
The lungs consist of bronchia divided into hundreds of different tubes.

168
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:12,940
At the end of each one of these bronchia fills the alveoli, or air sacs, the size of a pinhead.

169
00:20:12,940 --> 00:20:18,180
There are some 300 million of these air sacs in a healthy lung.

170
00:20:18,180 --> 00:20:25,060
Their total surface area is equivalent to that of a tennis court.

171
00:20:25,060 --> 00:20:30,100
The air passing through the bronchia fills the alveoli.

172
00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:39,020
The alveoli are covered with a dense network of capillaries, the smallest of the blood vessels.

173
00:20:39,020 --> 00:20:44,320
The alveoli and capillaries are separated from each other with a thin membrane.

174
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:52,700
This membrane permits an exchange of gases between the blood and the air.

175
00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:58,940
The carbon dioxide in the dirty blood and the oxygen in the air are exchanged here.

176
00:20:58,940 --> 00:21:03,100
And the dirty blood is cleaned in the alveoli.

177
00:21:03,100 --> 00:21:08,120
The system which allows your blood to be cleaned with every breath you take is built on an air

178
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:14,020
sac no larger than a pinhead.

179
00:21:14,020 --> 00:21:18,700
The fact that you have 300 million of these in your chest and that they all perform their

180
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:28,780
functions at all time is another proof of the incomparable art of God's creation.

181
00:21:28,780 --> 00:21:35,120
Now let us have a closer look at these pinhead sized alveoli and witness once again the perfection

182
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:40,700
of God's creation.

183
00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:46,400
The alveoli inflate with every breath and return to their original form as the breath is released

184
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,800
again.

185
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:57,400
The interior surface of the alveoli is coated with a thin layer of water and the water molecules

186
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,260
create surface tension.

187
00:22:01,260 --> 00:22:06,980
The surface tension depends mainly upon the cohesive forces between water molecules.

188
00:22:06,980 --> 00:22:12,940
The surface tension formed by the water coating the alveoli would normally cause the alveoli

189
00:22:12,940 --> 00:22:16,940
to collapse at the end of exhalation.

190
00:22:16,940 --> 00:22:23,460
For that reason we would normally have to expend enormous energy and suffer considerable discomfort

191
00:22:23,460 --> 00:22:29,060
in order to re-expand the alveoli which collapsed with every breath.

192
00:22:29,060 --> 00:22:32,780
Yet we manage to breathe perfectly comfortably.

193
00:22:32,780 --> 00:22:39,780
So what is the secret behind this?

194
00:22:39,780 --> 00:22:44,780
Scientists researching the answer to this question encountered a most important miracle here.

195
00:22:44,780 --> 00:22:51,780
A supportive organism has been placed inside each and every one of the 300 million alveoli

196
00:22:51,780 --> 00:22:56,660
to serve the human body.

197
00:22:56,660 --> 00:23:00,500
These are known as type 2 cells.

198
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:06,960
Type 2 cells produce a very special substance called surfactant and spread this over the internal

199
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,500
surfaces of the alveoli.

200
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:17,220
The surfactant is a molecule especially designed to reduce the surface tension of water.

201
00:23:17,220 --> 00:23:24,860
Thanks to this molecule the alveoli are prevented from collapsing inwards.

202
00:23:24,860 --> 00:23:27,660
At this point we need to consider carefully.

203
00:23:27,660 --> 00:23:37,180
Type 2 cells possess no eyes, ears, brain or capacity for thought and are invisible to the naked eye.

204
00:23:37,180 --> 00:23:44,500
So how is it that this substance knows that the alveoli will collapse because of surface tension?

205
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:49,060
You can now see the chemical formula for surfactant on the screen.

206
00:23:49,060 --> 00:23:56,620
This formula has been specially designed to do away with water surface tension.

207
00:23:56,620 --> 00:24:06,900
Who taught the type 2 cell, devoid as it is of eye, ears or brain, the chemical formula for surfactant?

208
00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:13,720
Why does it devote its life to the production of this substance?

209
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:20,100
This cell exists only in the alveoli, just where the surfactant is needed and nowhere else

210
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:24,800
in the body.

211
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:30,120
Who was it who located it not in the ear or the heart, for instance, but solely where

212
00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:37,000
it needed to be, inside the alveoli?

213
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,920
The number of such questions rises as one continues to study the alveoli.

214
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:48,320
Since the type 2 cells are not the only faithful workers in the alveoli, other supporting cells

215
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:55,420
cells have been located inside the alveoli, the macrophages for instance.

216
00:24:55,420 --> 00:25:00,660
Any foreign body that manages to get by the security precautions in the upper respiratory

217
00:25:00,660 --> 00:25:08,040
tract and to reach the lungs represents a serious danger.

218
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:20,640
So who was it who charged the macrophages with standing watch over your alveoli all through

219
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,800
their lives and thus protecting your health?

220
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:29,040
There is only one answer to this and other such questions.

221
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:36,180
It is God who creates the macrophages, the type 2 cells, the alveoli they are found in,

222
00:25:36,180 --> 00:25:42,200
the perfect design in those alveoli, the bronchi and the lungs.

223
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,960
God's art of creation is flawless and incomparable.

224
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:55,100
In one verse God reveals,

225
00:25:55,100 --> 00:26:04,600
Does not man see that we created him from a drop, yet there he is, an open antagonist?

226
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:11,080
He makes likenesses of us and forgets his own creation, saying, Who will give life to bones

227
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,620
when they are decayed?

228
00:26:15,620 --> 00:26:20,440
Say, He who made them in the first place will bring them back to life.

229
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,100
He has total knowledge of each created thing.

230
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:51,560
We have now seen how the carbon dioxide in the blood is expelled and how the blood is

231
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,220
oxygenated in the alveoli in the lungs.

232
00:26:54,220 --> 00:27:00,080
Yet there is a considerable distance between the alveoli and the other tissues of the body.

233
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,300
Furthermore, transporting oxygen is a process requiring the greatest sensitivity.

234
00:27:05,300 --> 00:27:09,920
This resembles carrying this crystal glass you see in my hand and trillions of others

235
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:15,200
like it to the other end of the world without breaking them.

236
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,540
How is the oxygen to be carried that distance?

237
00:27:19,540 --> 00:27:22,200
The answer appears in another miracle of creation.

238
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:46,720
The oxygen which enters the alveoli with the air is met by cells responsible for transporting

239
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:54,760
it at the moment it mixes with the blood.

240
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,920
These are the red blood cells.

241
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:06,240
There is a very special protein inside the red blood cells, hemoglobin.

242
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:12,160
Every single red blood cell contains some 250 million hemoglobin molecules.

243
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:20,500
This protein called hemoglobin is a marvel of creation, specially designed to take up oxygen.

244
00:28:20,500 --> 00:28:23,540
It contains four iron atoms.

245
00:28:23,540 --> 00:28:33,860
These atoms attract oxygen like a magnet and thus, oxygen sets out on its long journey in the blood.

246
00:28:33,860 --> 00:28:40,780
When it reaches the tissues in need of oxygen, hemoglobin's power to bind to iron is reduced,

247
00:28:40,780 --> 00:28:45,860
thanks to a number of specially designed subsystems.

248
00:28:45,860 --> 00:28:58,180
The oxygen is thus released from the hemoglobin in the red blood cells and delivered to the cells which need it.

249
00:28:58,180 --> 00:29:05,500
The carbon dioxide produced by the cells is again transported to the lungs by the hemoglobin and complex systems.

250
00:29:05,500 --> 00:29:10,500
The carbon dioxide carried to the lungs is discharged from the body here.

251
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:17,820
This exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide continues every second all through life.

252
00:29:17,820 --> 00:29:29,820
Let us now have a rather closer look at the system.

253
00:29:29,820 --> 00:29:37,140
The hemoglobin molecule is a protein made up of 564 amino acids.

254
00:29:37,140 --> 00:29:43,140
In the central region are four iron atoms responsible for the transportation of oxygen.

255
00:29:43,140 --> 00:29:52,140
Hemoglobin's three-dimensional structure and amino acid sequence have been specially designed for the transportation of oxygen.

256
00:29:52,140 --> 00:30:03,460
An alteration to any one of these amino acids or to the three-dimensional structure of hemoglobin would mean that it is unable to carry oxygen and fulfill its duty.

257
00:30:03,460 --> 00:30:11,460
Yet, as well as hemoglobin, the subsystems that work with it also possess a flawless design.

258
00:30:11,460 --> 00:30:25,780
For instance, hemoglobin and oxygen establish a powerful bond when they come together in the lung.

259
00:30:25,780 --> 00:30:38,580
Yet, this bond weakens at the tissues which stand in need of oxygen, and the oxygen is released from the hemoglobin.

260
00:30:38,580 --> 00:30:42,140
The system has been planned down to the finest detail.

261
00:30:42,140 --> 00:30:48,060
If the bond between oxygen and hemoglobin in the lung were not sufficiently powerful,

262
00:30:48,060 --> 00:30:56,060
then the oxygen would not combine with the hemoglobin, in which case it could not be carried to the tissues which need it.

263
00:30:56,060 --> 00:30:59,060
Those tissues would start to die.

264
00:31:08,580 --> 00:31:31,580
As a result, the slightest alteration to the present system in the hemoglobin would spell death.

265
00:31:31,580 --> 00:31:42,580
In fact, cyanide, one of the strongest known poisons, kills by attaching itself to the hemoglobin molecule and preventing it from performing this very function.

266
00:31:42,580 --> 00:31:50,580
All these facts once again reveal the baseless nature of the theory of evolution.

267
00:31:50,580 --> 00:32:01,580
The theory of evolution maintains that living things acquired their features gradually, stage by stage.

268
00:32:01,580 --> 00:32:11,580
Yet, like the other millions of systems in the body, the oxygen transportation system can only function if it is in its present perfect state.

269
00:32:11,580 --> 00:32:22,580
Even the slightest alteration in hemoglobin, which forms only one part of the whole oxygen transportation system, means the system as a whole is unable to function.

270
00:32:22,580 --> 00:32:32,580
For this reason, it is impossible for hemoglobin and the oxygen transportation system to have come about by evolution.

271
00:32:32,580 --> 00:32:45,580
Even a hemoglobin molecule on its own is evidence of the invalidity of the theory of evolution and proof of the perfection of God's creation.

272
00:32:45,580 --> 00:32:55,580
In the Koran, God says,

273
00:32:55,580 --> 00:33:02,580
And in your creation and all the creatures He has spread about, there are signs for people with certainty.

274
00:33:02,580 --> 00:33:30,580
People do many different things in their daily lives, but whatever they do, they still have to keep breathing.

275
00:33:30,580 --> 00:33:37,580
Yet, they never need to make a conscious effort in order to breathe.

276
00:33:37,580 --> 00:33:40,580
Neither do they use their free will in order to breathe.

277
00:33:40,580 --> 00:33:48,580
They breathe right from the moment of their birth, even in their sleep.

278
00:33:52,580 --> 00:33:59,580
The brain is the command center for the whole process of respiration.

279
00:33:59,580 --> 00:34:06,580
A group of nerves in the brain stem and the medulla region of the brain direct the respiratory system.

280
00:34:06,580 --> 00:34:16,580
The nerves in the medulla send commands to the muscles surrounding the rib cage to contract for two seconds.

281
00:34:16,580 --> 00:34:21,580
As the muscles contract, the lungs fill with air.

282
00:34:21,580 --> 00:34:26,580
Then, the nerve signals from the medulla are cut for three seconds.

283
00:34:26,580 --> 00:34:28,580
The muscles then relax.

284
00:34:28,580 --> 00:34:33,580
The air in the lungs is then expelled as the muscles assume their earlier form.

285
00:34:33,580 --> 00:34:45,580
Directed by the medulla, breathing takes around five seconds.

286
00:34:45,580 --> 00:34:51,580
Two seconds for inhaling and three for exhaling.

287
00:34:51,580 --> 00:34:59,580
Under normal conditions, a healthy person breathes some twelve times a minute.

288
00:34:59,580 --> 00:35:03,580
Yet, that figure goes up under certain circumstances.

289
00:35:03,580 --> 00:35:16,580
As you can see, my breathing rate has risen considerably.

290
00:35:16,580 --> 00:35:35,580
Yet, it is not me who has decided to breathe quickly at this moment.

291
00:35:35,580 --> 00:35:40,580
My chest muscles are forcing me to.

292
00:35:40,580 --> 00:35:44,580
And I feel discomfort if I try to breathe slowly.

293
00:35:44,580 --> 00:35:54,580
Since I have just worked out, my tissue had a greater need for oxygen and my brain obliged me to breathe faster.

294
00:35:54,580 --> 00:36:03,580
In the same way that my breathing under normal conditions is out of my control,

295
00:36:03,580 --> 00:36:06,580
so is the way that I am currently breathing quickly.

296
00:36:14,580 --> 00:36:18,580
Control of breathing is thus independent of an individual's will.

297
00:36:18,580 --> 00:36:29,580
When the muscles work more than under normal conditions, they consume more oxygen.

298
00:36:29,580 --> 00:36:34,580
As the level of oxygen in the blood falls, the level of carbon dioxide rises.

299
00:36:39,580 --> 00:36:42,580
Muscle cells under pressure give off lactic acid.

300
00:36:48,580 --> 00:36:55,580
The oxygen, carbon dioxide, and lactic acid receptors in various parts of the body become aware of this change

301
00:36:55,580 --> 00:36:59,580
and send warnings to the respiratory center in the brain.

302
00:37:02,580 --> 00:37:08,580
When the warning reaches the medulla, the respiratory neurons send commands to the chest muscles

303
00:37:08,580 --> 00:37:10,580
and ensure that they work faster.

304
00:37:10,580 --> 00:37:17,580
On the other hand, other precautions are also taken in the body.

305
00:37:17,580 --> 00:37:20,580
The heart starts beating faster, for instance.

306
00:37:21,580 --> 00:37:25,580
The skin pores are opened in order to balance the rise in body temperature

307
00:37:25,580 --> 00:37:28,580
and attempts to cool the body down.

308
00:37:29,580 --> 00:37:35,580
When pressure on the muscles is lifted, all the systems gradually return to their normal condition.

309
00:37:35,580 --> 00:37:48,580
The flawless, interconnected systems work and serve beyond the individual's control, will, and knowledge.

310
00:37:53,580 --> 00:37:58,580
Man's duty is thus to give thanks to God, who created Him with such perfection,

311
00:37:58,580 --> 00:38:01,580
and to appreciate the artistry in His creation.

312
00:38:01,580 --> 00:38:05,580
In one verse of the Koran, God reveals

313
00:38:05,580 --> 00:38:20,580
He is God, the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form.

314
00:38:20,580 --> 00:38:23,580
To Him belong the most beautiful names.

315
00:38:28,580 --> 00:38:31,580
Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him.

316
00:38:31,580 --> 00:38:34,580
He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.

317
00:38:45,580 --> 00:38:49,580
In this film we have examined the miracle in the respiratory system.

318
00:38:50,580 --> 00:38:53,580
The air conditioning system in the nose.

319
00:38:54,580 --> 00:38:57,580
The protective mechanism in the respiratory tract.

320
00:38:59,580 --> 00:39:01,580
The cilia, which serve for a whole lifetime.

321
00:39:02,580 --> 00:39:05,580
The mucus, which works alongside the cilia.

322
00:39:07,580 --> 00:39:08,580
The design in the windpipe.

323
00:39:11,580 --> 00:39:13,580
The flap, which prevents you choking when you eat.

324
00:39:13,580 --> 00:39:18,580
The area the size of a tennis court inside your chest.

325
00:39:19,580 --> 00:39:22,580
The alveoli no bigger than a pinhead.

326
00:39:23,580 --> 00:39:27,580
The special cells within those alveoli.

327
00:39:28,580 --> 00:39:31,580
The red blood cells responsible for oxygen transportation.

328
00:39:32,580 --> 00:39:34,580
The miraculous protein hemoglobin.

329
00:39:34,580 --> 00:39:37,580
The attraction between oxygen and iron.

330
00:39:37,580 --> 00:39:41,580
And the sensitive way that attraction is balanced.

331
00:39:42,580 --> 00:39:45,580
The carbon dioxide transportation systems.

332
00:39:46,580 --> 00:39:51,580
The special nervous system which controls breathing outside the individual's volition.

333
00:39:52,580 --> 00:39:57,580
And we have looked at other systems which assist human beings to breathe.

334
00:39:57,580 --> 00:40:04,580
We have seen that these systems have been created in a flawless and perfect form.

335
00:40:05,580 --> 00:40:10,580
A person's taking just one single breath.

336
00:40:11,580 --> 00:40:13,580
Is a great miracle requiring gratitude to God.

337
00:40:13,580 --> 00:40:19,580
You have taken around 200 breaths since this film began.

338
00:40:20,580 --> 00:40:23,580
You will also continue to breathe long after it is over.

339
00:40:26,580 --> 00:40:28,580
Until God claims your soul back.

340
00:40:29,580 --> 00:40:31,580
In the same way that he gave it to you.

341
00:40:31,580 --> 00:40:45,580
When that day comes, when you take your last breath, you will have to account for everything you did.

342
00:40:46,580 --> 00:40:48,580
And every blessing given to you throughout your life.

343
00:40:48,580 --> 00:41:15,580
People must think about this truth and give thanks to our Creator, God,

344
00:41:15,580 --> 00:41:19,580
who allows us to breathe and imparts countless blessings to us.

345
00:41:20,580 --> 00:41:24,580
While there is still time and before the last breath comes.

346
00:41:25,580 --> 00:41:27,580
As God commands in the Quran.

347
00:41:34,580 --> 00:41:38,580
Mankind, worship your Lord who created you and those before you,

348
00:41:39,580 --> 00:41:41,580
so that hopefully you may do your duty.
