WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:12.640 What do you need most at this very moment? 00:13.840 --> 00:14.820 A good education? 00:15.680 --> 00:16.980 A good job? 00:18.240 --> 00:18.820 A career? 00:20.180 --> 00:20.820 Money? 00:23.820 --> 00:27.940 Every individual sets out goals that are important to him or her. 00:27.940 --> 00:32.740 Some are short-term, and others long. 00:34.360 --> 00:39.360 Yet not one of these needs is as important as one blessing you possess at every moment. 00:40.960 --> 00:41.560 Breathing. 00:42.200 --> 00:45.320 It has been 39 seconds since this film began. 00:46.880 --> 00:50.160 If you had been unable to breathe for 39 seconds, 00:50.740 --> 00:54.720 you would have given up all you owned in order to be able to breathe again. 00:54.720 --> 00:59.880 In another minute or so, you would have lost consciousness. 01:04.560 --> 01:07.760 Brain death would follow in another two or three minutes, 01:08.040 --> 01:09.800 and your life would be at an end. 01:09.800 --> 01:20.840 You have now taken some 16 breaths since this film began. 01:22.840 --> 01:26.500 You will have taken another 200 or so by the time it ends. 01:26.500 --> 01:35.120 And you will see what a great blessing breathing is, 01:35.360 --> 01:39.380 and how each one of the systems which allow you to breathe is a great miracle. 01:43.720 --> 01:47.920 And you will witness examples of God's art of creation in your body. 01:47.920 --> 02:11.860 God bless you. 02:11.860 --> 02:41.840 We'll be right back. 02:41.860 --> 02:53.060 Breathing. 02:55.560 --> 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. 03:04.320 --> 03:09.480 Every cell in our bodies needs the oxygen provided by breathing. 03:11.860 --> 03:27.280 The beating of your heart, the movements of your muscles, cell division, thought, none of these would be possible without oxygen. 03:27.280 --> 03:35.700 One breath is enough for oxygen to enter the body. 03:36.840 --> 03:39.180 A deep breath is, of course, even more effective. 03:39.180 --> 04:09.160 Yes, it is more effective. 04:09.180 --> 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. 04:20.420 --> 04:25.420 We shall begin to see you now. 04:25.420 --> 04:27.980 We'll be right back. 04:27.980 --> 04:29.720 We'll be right back. 04:29.720 --> 04:57.820 We must commence our examination of the respiratory system at the nose, the gateway to the system. 04:59.720 --> 05:09.720 We usually think of the nose's ability to detect smells. Yet it has another important function. 05:09.720 --> 05:17.720 The nose makes the air we breathe suitable for the lungs. It possesses a marvelous aerodynamic design. 05:17.720 --> 05:23.720 It works like a perfect air conditioning unit and its interior is equipped with special filters. 05:23.720 --> 05:28.720 The curled structure of the nose allows the air to move around inside it. 05:28.720 --> 05:40.720 The air is thus warmed and moistened by the nasal mucus. 05:40.720 --> 05:44.720 The hairs inside the nose work like an air filter. 05:44.720 --> 05:53.720 Around 20 billion foreign bodies such as dust, bacteria and pollen are trapped by these hairs in the nostrils. 05:53.720 --> 06:00.720 Those harmful particles which get past these obstacles are caught by a second defense mechanism, the secretion known as mucus. 06:00.720 --> 06:12.720 For more information, visit www.fema.gov.au. 06:12.720 --> 06:24.720 www.fema.gov.au. 06:24.720 --> 06:26.720 www.fema.gov.au. 06:26.720 --> 06:40.720 The upper respiratory tract and windpipe are covered in a viscous, slippery substance called mucus. 06:40.720 --> 06:55.720 This keeps the air passages moist. 06:55.720 --> 07:00.720 It also stops harmful substances from reaching the lungs. 07:00.720 --> 07:07.720 Mucus is assisted by the cilia. 07:07.720 --> 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. 07:15.720 --> 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. 07:30.720 --> 07:34.720 Alternatively, these foreign bodies may be expelled by coughing. 07:34.720 --> 07:41.720 A violent cough can reach speeds of up to 960 kilometers or 600 miles an hour. 07:42.720 --> 07:49.720 This is one of the pieces of evidence that serious precautions have been taken to protect the respiratory system. 07:52.720 --> 07:55.720 There is another point here that needs to be considered. 07:55.720 --> 08:02.720 The cilia in the nasal passage carry the mucus upward. 08:02.720 --> 08:11.720 The cilia in the upper respiratory tract, on the other hand, move in a downward direction. 08:12.720 --> 08:16.720 In both regions, foreign bodies are carried towards the pharynx. 08:16.720 --> 08:27.720 The billions of cilia in both different regions literally know where the pharynx lies. 08:28.720 --> 08:32.720 Close inspection reveals a most important miracle here. 08:33.720 --> 08:37.720 Cilia are minute structures with no ears, eyes or brain. 08:38.720 --> 08:44.720 So how is it that these blind, deaf structures know the location of the pharynx? 08:44.720 --> 08:48.720 All the billions of cilia move together in the same direction. 08:49.720 --> 08:54.720 Who teaches the cilia that they all need to move as one in the same direction? 08:56.720 --> 08:59.720 Let us consider just one of these cilia. 09:00.720 --> 09:01.720 It is a living thing. 09:02.720 --> 09:07.720 Ever since it came into the world and throughout its life, it has just one function. 09:08.720 --> 09:11.720 It performs that one function without rest or protest. 09:11.720 --> 09:14.720 It carries the mucus layer to the pharynx. 09:14.720 --> 09:29.720 It is almighty God, who has created man in the finest form, who gives them this duty. 09:29.720 --> 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. 09:38.720 --> 09:45.720 Close examination of the structure of the cilia makes the scale of the miracle even clearer. 09:45.720 --> 09:56.720 Under the microscope, the cilia resemble simple tiny hairs, but they are actually a marvel of design and engineering. 09:57.720 --> 10:04.720 And they possess a complexity that those circles who defend the theory of evolution can never hope to explain. 10:04.720 --> 10:14.720 Nine different protein chains have been brought together in such a way as to form a cylinder. 10:15.720 --> 10:20.720 The two protein chains in the middle are the system's central motion generator. 10:20.720 --> 10:28.720 The proteins Dynine and Nexine, set out among the protein chains, represent the engines necessary for movement. 10:29.720 --> 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. 10:38.720 --> 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. 10:49.720 --> 10:51.720 It is impossible for it to have developed in stages. 10:52.720 --> 10:55.720 In other words, for it to have evolved. 10:56.720 --> 10:58.720 There is another point which should not be forgotten. 10:58.720 --> 11:00.720 Cilia serve no purpose on their own. 11:01.720 --> 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. 11:11.720 --> 11:15.720 Mucus also turns out to be a marvel of design when examined up close. 11:18.720 --> 11:21.720 The mucus layer is rather thin. 11:21.720 --> 11:26.720 On the screen you can see a 30 cm ruler. 11:27.720 --> 11:31.720 Now let us have a look at a 1 mm length of that ruler. 11:32.720 --> 11:35.720 Now let us divide that 1 mm part into 600. 11:36.720 --> 11:41.720 1 600th of a millimeter is so small a number that one cannot imagine it. 11:44.720 --> 11:47.720 That is the thickness of the mucus layer which protects your health. 11:48.720 --> 11:50.720 1 600th of a millimeter. 11:51.720 --> 11:56.720 Moreover, this thin layer consists of two separate sub layers. 11:57.720 --> 12:00.720 The bottom one is rather slippery. 12:01.720 --> 12:06.720 This enables the cilia to carry the mucus in a particular direction. 12:07.720 --> 12:16.720 The top layer, in other words the safety layer, is rather viscous, which allows it to trap harmful bodies. 12:16.720 --> 12:23.720 These two layers never get mixed up or change places. 12:24.720 --> 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. 12:34.720 --> 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. 12:44.720 --> 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. 12:53.720 --> 13:02.720 In either event, the system would serve no purpose and human beings would catch diseases which eventually resulted in their deaths. 13:03.720 --> 13:07.720 This system has been functioning flawlessly since the first human beings came into existence. 13:07.720 --> 13:14.720 Darwinists claim that this system came into being by chance, stage by stage. 13:15.720 --> 13:17.720 Yet that is impossible. 13:18.720 --> 13:26.720 As we have just seen, the slightest irregularity or deficiency in the system would cause it to serve no purpose. 13:26.720 --> 13:33.720 This is an important piece of evidence invalidating Darwinism. 13:36.720 --> 13:38.720 The cilia would serve you day and night. 13:39.720 --> 13:42.720 The mucle secretion with its own very special design. 13:43.720 --> 13:49.720 And the aerodynamic design inside the nose all go to prove one very important truth. 13:49.720 --> 13:50.720 God created you. 13:50.720 --> 13:58.720 The artistry and design evident in every part of your body are proofs of the might of God. 13:59.720 --> 14:01.720 In one verse, he states, 14:01.720 --> 14:14.720 We created you, so why do you not confirm the truth? 14:14.720 --> 14:15.720 Confirm the truth. 14:44.720 --> 14:51.720 The longest leg on the journey to the lungs is that in the windpipe. 14:55.720 --> 15:00.720 The structure of the windpipe is yet another example of the perfect design of the human body. 15:01.720 --> 15:06.720 The walls of the windpipe are supported by C-shaped rings of cartilage. 15:07.720 --> 15:09.720 This allows movement in different directions. 15:09.720 --> 15:18.720 If the windpipe were made of flesh alone, the resulting softness would lead to constant blockages. 15:19.720 --> 15:22.720 That would make it impossible for us to breathe. 15:25.720 --> 15:30.720 If it were made of something as hard as bone, then our movements would be, to a large extent, restricted. 15:31.720 --> 15:38.720 Yet the cartilaginous structure which makes up the windpipe is perfectly suited to all the muscles. 15:39.720 --> 15:40.720 All kinds of movement. 15:41.720 --> 15:43.720 And it always remains open due to its flexibility. 15:50.720 --> 15:53.720 There is another very special design right in the entrance to the windpipe. 15:54.720 --> 15:58.720 This design saves our lives every time we have something to eat. 15:59.720 --> 16:00.720 How is that? 16:00.720 --> 16:09.720 The esophagus and the windpipe lie side by side in the throat. 16:10.720 --> 16:15.720 One might therefore expect that when eating, as I am doing now, 16:15.720 --> 16:26.720 the food might get stuck in my windpipe and choke me. 16:27.720 --> 16:29.720 Yet nothing of the sort happens. 16:29.720 --> 16:30.720 Ancak böyle olmaz. 16:33.720 --> 16:38.720 Although I continue to eat and breathe, the food never gets caught in my windpipe. 16:40.720 --> 16:44.720 So what is it that protects me, and you of course, when eating? 16:44.720 --> 16:45.720 When eating? 16:45.720 --> 16:46.720 What is it that protects me when eating? 16:46.720 --> 16:47.720 What is it that protects me when eating? 16:47.720 --> 16:48.720 When eating? 16:48.720 --> 16:57.100 There is a small flap of elastic cartilage called the epiglottis right at the entrance 16:57.100 --> 16:58.820 of the windpipe. 16:58.820 --> 17:03.540 This flap automatically closes the entrance to the windpipe during swallowing. 17:03.540 --> 17:08.660 During all the thousands of meals you have eaten, from babyhood right up to the present, 17:08.660 --> 17:11.880 you have swallowed tens of thousands of times. 17:11.880 --> 17:17.160 And every single time this little flap has closed the entrance to your windpipe at exactly 17:17.160 --> 17:18.680 the right moment. 17:18.680 --> 17:23.860 Although you are unaware of its presence and can exert no control over it, this little 17:23.860 --> 17:37.100 flap has saved your life by closing the entrance to your windpipe at just the right moment. 17:37.100 --> 17:44.020 As always, the theory of evolution is quite helpless in the face of this system. 17:44.020 --> 17:47.120 It is impossible for such an important system, the absence of which would be fatal to you. 17:47.120 --> 17:52.300 The absence of which would be fatal to human life, to have come about by chance, stage 17:52.300 --> 17:53.880 by stage. 17:53.880 --> 17:59.120 In the absence of that system, a human being would choke the first moment he took a bite 17:59.120 --> 18:01.080 to eat. 18:01.080 --> 18:06.080 This is yet another proof that God created all the features possessed by human beings. 18:06.080 --> 18:30.240 This is whether or not it was the first one, the further one. 18:30.240 --> 18:41.680 Body tissues produce carbon dioxide as a result of their daily functions. 18:41.680 --> 18:46.860 This carbon dioxide is carried away from the tissues by the blood. 18:46.860 --> 19:02.640 This blood, loaded with carbon dioxide, is dirty blood. 19:02.640 --> 19:08.140 In order for the blood to be cleaned, it needs to make contact with the air. 19:08.140 --> 19:16.040 The oxygen in the air and the carbon dioxide in the blood will thus be exchanged. 19:16.040 --> 19:19.420 There are around 5 liters of blood in the human body. 19:19.420 --> 19:25.580 In order to be aired, this 5 liters of blood needs to spread over an area of around 100 19:25.580 --> 19:27.500 square meters. 19:27.500 --> 19:39.940 That is equivalent to the area of a tennis court. 19:39.940 --> 19:46.700 Everyone watching this film has an area the size of a tennis court squeezed into his lungs 19:46.700 --> 19:54.320 by the incomparable art of God's creation. 19:54.320 --> 20:05.880 The lungs consist of bronchia divided into hundreds of different tubes. 20:05.880 --> 20:12.940 At the end of each one of these bronchia fills the alveoli, or air sacs, the size of a pinhead. 20:12.940 --> 20:18.180 There are some 300 million of these air sacs in a healthy lung. 20:18.180 --> 20:25.060 Their total surface area is equivalent to that of a tennis court. 20:25.060 --> 20:30.100 The air passing through the bronchia fills the alveoli. 20:30.100 --> 20:39.020 The alveoli are covered with a dense network of capillaries, the smallest of the blood vessels. 20:39.020 --> 20:44.320 The alveoli and capillaries are separated from each other with a thin membrane. 20:44.320 --> 20:52.700 This membrane permits an exchange of gases between the blood and the air. 20:52.700 --> 20:58.940 The carbon dioxide in the dirty blood and the oxygen in the air are exchanged here. 20:58.940 --> 21:03.100 And the dirty blood is cleaned in the alveoli. 21:03.100 --> 21:08.120 The system which allows your blood to be cleaned with every breath you take is built on an air 21:08.120 --> 21:14.020 sac no larger than a pinhead. 21:14.020 --> 21:18.700 The fact that you have 300 million of these in your chest and that they all perform their 21:18.700 --> 21:28.780 functions at all time is another proof of the incomparable art of God's creation. 21:28.780 --> 21:35.120 Now let us have a closer look at these pinhead sized alveoli and witness once again the perfection 21:35.120 --> 21:40.700 of God's creation. 21:40.700 --> 21:46.400 The alveoli inflate with every breath and return to their original form as the breath is released 21:46.400 --> 21:51.800 again. 21:51.800 --> 21:57.400 The interior surface of the alveoli is coated with a thin layer of water and the water molecules 21:57.400 --> 22:01.260 create surface tension. 22:01.260 --> 22:06.980 The surface tension depends mainly upon the cohesive forces between water molecules. 22:06.980 --> 22:12.940 The surface tension formed by the water coating the alveoli would normally cause the alveoli 22:12.940 --> 22:16.940 to collapse at the end of exhalation. 22:16.940 --> 22:23.460 For that reason we would normally have to expend enormous energy and suffer considerable discomfort 22:23.460 --> 22:29.060 in order to re-expand the alveoli which collapsed with every breath. 22:29.060 --> 22:32.780 Yet we manage to breathe perfectly comfortably. 22:32.780 --> 22:39.780 So what is the secret behind this? 22:39.780 --> 22:44.780 Scientists researching the answer to this question encountered a most important miracle here. 22:44.780 --> 22:51.780 A supportive organism has been placed inside each and every one of the 300 million alveoli 22:51.780 --> 22:56.660 to serve the human body. 22:56.660 --> 23:00.500 These are known as type 2 cells. 23:00.500 --> 23:06.960 Type 2 cells produce a very special substance called surfactant and spread this over the internal 23:06.960 --> 23:11.500 surfaces of the alveoli. 23:11.500 --> 23:17.220 The surfactant is a molecule especially designed to reduce the surface tension of water. 23:17.220 --> 23:24.860 Thanks to this molecule the alveoli are prevented from collapsing inwards. 23:24.860 --> 23:27.660 At this point we need to consider carefully. 23:27.660 --> 23:37.180 Type 2 cells possess no eyes, ears, brain or capacity for thought and are invisible to the naked eye. 23:37.180 --> 23:44.500 So how is it that this substance knows that the alveoli will collapse because of surface tension? 23:44.500 --> 23:49.060 You can now see the chemical formula for surfactant on the screen. 23:49.060 --> 23:56.620 This formula has been specially designed to do away with water surface tension. 23:56.620 --> 24:06.900 Who taught the type 2 cell, devoid as it is of eye, ears or brain, the chemical formula for surfactant? 24:06.900 --> 24:13.720 Why does it devote its life to the production of this substance? 24:13.720 --> 24:20.100 This cell exists only in the alveoli, just where the surfactant is needed and nowhere else 24:20.100 --> 24:24.800 in the body. 24:24.800 --> 24:30.120 Who was it who located it not in the ear or the heart, for instance, but solely where 24:30.120 --> 24:37.000 it needed to be, inside the alveoli? 24:37.000 --> 24:41.920 The number of such questions rises as one continues to study the alveoli. 24:41.920 --> 24:48.320 Since the type 2 cells are not the only faithful workers in the alveoli, other supporting cells 24:48.320 --> 24:55.420 cells have been located inside the alveoli, the macrophages for instance. 24:55.420 --> 25:00.660 Any foreign body that manages to get by the security precautions in the upper respiratory 25:00.660 --> 25:08.040 tract and to reach the lungs represents a serious danger. 25:08.040 --> 25:20.640 So who was it who charged the macrophages with standing watch over your alveoli all through 25:20.640 --> 25:24.800 their lives and thus protecting your health? 25:24.800 --> 25:29.040 There is only one answer to this and other such questions. 25:29.040 --> 25:36.180 It is God who creates the macrophages, the type 2 cells, the alveoli they are found in, 25:36.180 --> 25:42.200 the perfect design in those alveoli, the bronchi and the lungs. 25:42.200 --> 25:46.960 God's art of creation is flawless and incomparable. 25:46.960 --> 25:55.100 In one verse God reveals, 25:55.100 --> 26:04.600 Does not man see that we created him from a drop, yet there he is, an open antagonist? 26:04.600 --> 26:11.080 He makes likenesses of us and forgets his own creation, saying, Who will give life to bones 26:11.080 --> 26:15.620 when they are decayed? 26:15.620 --> 26:20.440 Say, He who made them in the first place will bring them back to life. 26:20.440 --> 26:23.100 He has total knowledge of each created thing. 26:34.600 --> 26:51.560 We have now seen how the carbon dioxide in the blood is expelled and how the blood is 26:51.560 --> 26:54.220 oxygenated in the alveoli in the lungs. 26:54.220 --> 27:00.080 Yet there is a considerable distance between the alveoli and the other tissues of the body. 27:00.080 --> 27:05.300 Furthermore, transporting oxygen is a process requiring the greatest sensitivity. 27:05.300 --> 27:09.920 This resembles carrying this crystal glass you see in my hand and trillions of others 27:09.920 --> 27:15.200 like it to the other end of the world without breaking them. 27:15.200 --> 27:19.540 How is the oxygen to be carried that distance? 27:19.540 --> 27:22.200 The answer appears in another miracle of creation. 27:30.080 --> 27:46.720 The oxygen which enters the alveoli with the air is met by cells responsible for transporting 27:46.720 --> 27:54.760 it at the moment it mixes with the blood. 27:54.760 --> 27:58.920 These are the red blood cells. 27:58.920 --> 28:06.240 There is a very special protein inside the red blood cells, hemoglobin. 28:06.240 --> 28:12.160 Every single red blood cell contains some 250 million hemoglobin molecules. 28:12.160 --> 28:20.500 This protein called hemoglobin is a marvel of creation, specially designed to take up oxygen. 28:20.500 --> 28:23.540 It contains four iron atoms. 28:23.540 --> 28:33.860 These atoms attract oxygen like a magnet and thus, oxygen sets out on its long journey in the blood. 28:33.860 --> 28:40.780 When it reaches the tissues in need of oxygen, hemoglobin's power to bind to iron is reduced, 28:40.780 --> 28:45.860 thanks to a number of specially designed subsystems. 28:45.860 --> 28:58.180 The oxygen is thus released from the hemoglobin in the red blood cells and delivered to the cells which need it. 28:58.180 --> 29:05.500 The carbon dioxide produced by the cells is again transported to the lungs by the hemoglobin and complex systems. 29:05.500 --> 29:10.500 The carbon dioxide carried to the lungs is discharged from the body here. 29:10.500 --> 29:17.820 This exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide continues every second all through life. 29:17.820 --> 29:29.820 Let us now have a rather closer look at the system. 29:29.820 --> 29:37.140 The hemoglobin molecule is a protein made up of 564 amino acids. 29:37.140 --> 29:43.140 In the central region are four iron atoms responsible for the transportation of oxygen. 29:43.140 --> 29:52.140 Hemoglobin's three-dimensional structure and amino acid sequence have been specially designed for the transportation of oxygen. 29:52.140 --> 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. 30:03.460 --> 30:11.460 Yet, as well as hemoglobin, the subsystems that work with it also possess a flawless design. 30:11.460 --> 30:25.780 For instance, hemoglobin and oxygen establish a powerful bond when they come together in the lung. 30:25.780 --> 30:38.580 Yet, this bond weakens at the tissues which stand in need of oxygen, and the oxygen is released from the hemoglobin. 30:38.580 --> 30:42.140 The system has been planned down to the finest detail. 30:42.140 --> 30:48.060 If the bond between oxygen and hemoglobin in the lung were not sufficiently powerful, 30:48.060 --> 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. 30:56.060 --> 30:59.060 Those tissues would start to die. 31:08.580 --> 31:31.580 As a result, the slightest alteration to the present system in the hemoglobin would spell death. 31:31.580 --> 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. 31:42.580 --> 31:50.580 All these facts once again reveal the baseless nature of the theory of evolution. 31:50.580 --> 32:01.580 The theory of evolution maintains that living things acquired their features gradually, stage by stage. 32:01.580 --> 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. 32:11.580 --> 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. 32:22.580 --> 32:32.580 For this reason, it is impossible for hemoglobin and the oxygen transportation system to have come about by evolution. 32:32.580 --> 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. 32:45.580 --> 32:55.580 In the Koran, God says, 32:55.580 --> 33:02.580 And in your creation and all the creatures He has spread about, there are signs for people with certainty. 33:02.580 --> 33:30.580 People do many different things in their daily lives, but whatever they do, they still have to keep breathing. 33:30.580 --> 33:37.580 Yet, they never need to make a conscious effort in order to breathe. 33:37.580 --> 33:40.580 Neither do they use their free will in order to breathe. 33:40.580 --> 33:48.580 They breathe right from the moment of their birth, even in their sleep. 33:52.580 --> 33:59.580 The brain is the command center for the whole process of respiration. 33:59.580 --> 34:06.580 A group of nerves in the brain stem and the medulla region of the brain direct the respiratory system. 34:06.580 --> 34:16.580 The nerves in the medulla send commands to the muscles surrounding the rib cage to contract for two seconds. 34:16.580 --> 34:21.580 As the muscles contract, the lungs fill with air. 34:21.580 --> 34:26.580 Then, the nerve signals from the medulla are cut for three seconds. 34:26.580 --> 34:28.580 The muscles then relax. 34:28.580 --> 34:33.580 The air in the lungs is then expelled as the muscles assume their earlier form. 34:33.580 --> 34:45.580 Directed by the medulla, breathing takes around five seconds. 34:45.580 --> 34:51.580 Two seconds for inhaling and three for exhaling. 34:51.580 --> 34:59.580 Under normal conditions, a healthy person breathes some twelve times a minute. 34:59.580 --> 35:03.580 Yet, that figure goes up under certain circumstances. 35:03.580 --> 35:16.580 As you can see, my breathing rate has risen considerably. 35:16.580 --> 35:35.580 Yet, it is not me who has decided to breathe quickly at this moment. 35:35.580 --> 35:40.580 My chest muscles are forcing me to. 35:40.580 --> 35:44.580 And I feel discomfort if I try to breathe slowly. 35:44.580 --> 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. 35:54.580 --> 36:03.580 In the same way that my breathing under normal conditions is out of my control, 36:03.580 --> 36:06.580 so is the way that I am currently breathing quickly. 36:14.580 --> 36:18.580 Control of breathing is thus independent of an individual's will. 36:18.580 --> 36:29.580 When the muscles work more than under normal conditions, they consume more oxygen. 36:29.580 --> 36:34.580 As the level of oxygen in the blood falls, the level of carbon dioxide rises. 36:39.580 --> 36:42.580 Muscle cells under pressure give off lactic acid. 36:48.580 --> 36:55.580 The oxygen, carbon dioxide, and lactic acid receptors in various parts of the body become aware of this change 36:55.580 --> 36:59.580 and send warnings to the respiratory center in the brain. 37:02.580 --> 37:08.580 When the warning reaches the medulla, the respiratory neurons send commands to the chest muscles 37:08.580 --> 37:10.580 and ensure that they work faster. 37:10.580 --> 37:17.580 On the other hand, other precautions are also taken in the body. 37:17.580 --> 37:20.580 The heart starts beating faster, for instance. 37:21.580 --> 37:25.580 The skin pores are opened in order to balance the rise in body temperature 37:25.580 --> 37:28.580 and attempts to cool the body down. 37:29.580 --> 37:35.580 When pressure on the muscles is lifted, all the systems gradually return to their normal condition. 37:35.580 --> 37:48.580 The flawless, interconnected systems work and serve beyond the individual's control, will, and knowledge. 37:53.580 --> 37:58.580 Man's duty is thus to give thanks to God, who created Him with such perfection, 37:58.580 --> 38:01.580 and to appreciate the artistry in His creation. 38:01.580 --> 38:05.580 In one verse of the Koran, God reveals 38:05.580 --> 38:20.580 He is God, the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. 38:20.580 --> 38:23.580 To Him belong the most beautiful names. 38:28.580 --> 38:31.580 Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him. 38:31.580 --> 38:34.580 He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. 38:45.580 --> 38:49.580 In this film we have examined the miracle in the respiratory system. 38:50.580 --> 38:53.580 The air conditioning system in the nose. 38:54.580 --> 38:57.580 The protective mechanism in the respiratory tract. 38:59.580 --> 39:01.580 The cilia, which serve for a whole lifetime. 39:02.580 --> 39:05.580 The mucus, which works alongside the cilia. 39:07.580 --> 39:08.580 The design in the windpipe. 39:11.580 --> 39:13.580 The flap, which prevents you choking when you eat. 39:13.580 --> 39:18.580 The area the size of a tennis court inside your chest. 39:19.580 --> 39:22.580 The alveoli no bigger than a pinhead. 39:23.580 --> 39:27.580 The special cells within those alveoli. 39:28.580 --> 39:31.580 The red blood cells responsible for oxygen transportation. 39:32.580 --> 39:34.580 The miraculous protein hemoglobin. 39:34.580 --> 39:37.580 The attraction between oxygen and iron. 39:37.580 --> 39:41.580 And the sensitive way that attraction is balanced. 39:42.580 --> 39:45.580 The carbon dioxide transportation systems. 39:46.580 --> 39:51.580 The special nervous system which controls breathing outside the individual's volition. 39:52.580 --> 39:57.580 And we have looked at other systems which assist human beings to breathe. 39:57.580 --> 40:04.580 We have seen that these systems have been created in a flawless and perfect form. 40:05.580 --> 40:10.580 A person's taking just one single breath. 40:11.580 --> 40:13.580 Is a great miracle requiring gratitude to God. 40:13.580 --> 40:19.580 You have taken around 200 breaths since this film began. 40:20.580 --> 40:23.580 You will also continue to breathe long after it is over. 40:26.580 --> 40:28.580 Until God claims your soul back. 40:29.580 --> 40:31.580 In the same way that he gave it to you. 40:31.580 --> 40:45.580 When that day comes, when you take your last breath, you will have to account for everything you did. 40:46.580 --> 40:48.580 And every blessing given to you throughout your life. 40:48.580 --> 41:15.580 People must think about this truth and give thanks to our Creator, God, 41:15.580 --> 41:19.580 who allows us to breathe and imparts countless blessings to us. 41:20.580 --> 41:24.580 While there is still time and before the last breath comes. 41:25.580 --> 41:27.580 As God commands in the Quran. 41:34.580 --> 41:38.580 Mankind, worship your Lord who created you and those before you, 41:39.580 --> 41:41.580 so that hopefully you may do your duty.
