WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:11.000 All the living things on earth have been created with innumerable, exceptional and superior features from reproduction to defense and from the way they feed to their systems of movement. 00:11.000 --> 00:21.000 Some build nests like architects, some ponder like chemists and come up with the ideal form of heating, and others still are true masters of camouflage. 00:21.000 --> 00:31.000 When one examines the life of these creatures, they will see that both the physical attributes and behavior are in complete harmony with one another and with their environment. 00:31.000 --> 00:37.000 In this film, you will be seeing just a few of the extraordinary features possessed by living things. 00:51.000 --> 01:06.000 Stoopsal Islands 01:06.000 --> 01:13.000 Harmil jotworks 01:13.000 --> 01:18.000 Be avanzado 01:18.000 --> 01:32.600 The whale, the largest mammal in the sea, is at the same time the largest creature on 01:32.600 --> 01:37.600 earth. 01:37.600 --> 01:43.260 Even some dinosaurs which lived and became extinct millions of years ago are dwarfed 01:43.260 --> 01:47.500 by whales. 01:47.500 --> 01:52.680 The blue whale in particular is considered to be even larger than all the dinosaurs known 01:52.680 --> 01:59.540 to date. 01:59.540 --> 02:09.140 Blue whales have a tongue the size of an average-sized elephant and a heart weighing 900 kilos. 02:09.140 --> 02:22.860 This heart, the size of a small car, pumps 10 tons of blood a second. 02:22.860 --> 02:28.040 The food that such a giant creature consumes is quite astonishing. 02:28.040 --> 02:38.220 Blue whales feed solely on prawns, just a few centimeters long. 02:38.220 --> 02:43.400 The whale has to consume around two tons of prawns a day to completely fill its stomach. 02:43.400 --> 02:52.700 Blue whales are not solely noteworthy for their size, however. 02:52.700 --> 02:57.440 They also possess complex bodily systems. 02:57.440 --> 03:04.680 The surface of the water is warm, but the deeper regions of the seas are cold. 03:04.680 --> 03:16.360 This means that there is a large temperature difference between the surface and the seabed. 03:16.360 --> 03:25.540 Yet whales are unaffected by this since their fins function like air conditioning units. 03:25.540 --> 03:32.000 As the whales, created by God with such a superior feature, dive to the bottom, they cool their 03:32.000 --> 03:45.120 bodies with their fins and warm them again while rising. 03:45.120 --> 03:49.620 Ostriches are the largest species of bird on Earth. 03:49.620 --> 03:56.960 They average 2.5 meters in height and 120 kilos in weight. 03:56.960 --> 04:06.400 These birds live in colonies in Central Africa and can run at up to 70 kilometers an hour. 04:06.400 --> 04:12.300 In other words, no human being can ever hope to outrun an ostrich. 04:12.300 --> 04:15.300 The ostrich has only two toes on its feet. 04:15.300 --> 04:19.540 In addition, one of these toes is much larger than the other. 04:19.540 --> 04:24.880 An ostrich runs on these large toes alone. 04:24.880 --> 04:32.120 The eggs of these birds are also the largest eggs in the world. 04:32.120 --> 04:40.820 The parent birds dig a large hole in the sand and settle all their gigantic eggs there. 04:40.820 --> 04:49.880 When they lay between 10 and 12 eggs, however, they have to adjust the size of the hole accordingly. 04:49.880 --> 05:03.120 The chicks that hatch from the eggs are quite defenseless and may fall prey to a predator at any moment. 05:03.120 --> 05:09.200 However, when danger approaches, the chicks lie on the ground and pretend to be dead for protection. 05:09.200 --> 05:13.640 The predator thus assumes they are dead and refrains from attacking them. 05:13.640 --> 05:18.440 All chicks play possum in exactly the same way. 05:18.440 --> 05:24.680 It is impossible for a living thing that has just hatched out of the egg to think up or learn such a tactic. 05:24.680 --> 05:32.680 So how is it that a bird has the ability to play such a role as soon as it is born? 05:32.680 --> 05:48.920 As Rob, or the educator, it is God who has taught the otherwise defenseless chicks such an effective means of self-defense. 05:48.920 --> 05:56.160 The puma is a species of wild cat that lives on the continent of America. 05:56.160 --> 06:10.080 It is the continent's largest cat, being between 1 and 2 meters in length and weighing between 35 and 85 kilos. 06:10.080 --> 06:14.800 Its ears are small and their tips are covered in darkish fur. 06:14.800 --> 06:22.680 The puma, the most powerful member of the cat family, has very sensitive powers of hearing. 06:22.680 --> 06:29.160 With its black nose, it is constantly seeking out sense. 06:29.160 --> 06:32.880 Its feet are wide and make full contact with the ground. 06:32.880 --> 06:38.640 This, in turn, makes it very hard to sense their approach. 06:38.640 --> 06:48.800 Pumas live for an average of 10 to 15 years and can survive in all weather conditions. 06:50.960 --> 06:57.520 Lions are the most social members of the cat family. 06:57.520 --> 07:02.800 They can live for 30 years, longer than other wild cats. 07:02.880 --> 07:10.240 They also sleep more than any other felines. 07:18.240 --> 07:22.240 The lion's roar can be heard from 8 kilometers away. 07:32.880 --> 07:48.240 During a chase in pursuit of prey that begins from 20 meters away, it reaches an average speed of 58 kilometers an hour in 200 to 300 meters. 07:48.240 --> 08:03.600 Males can eat 35 kilos of meat at a single sitting, and females 22 kilos. 08:03.600 --> 08:07.600 The hunting is generally done by the females. 08:07.600 --> 08:10.960 Males are responsible for protecting their territory. 08:14.960 --> 08:18.960 Lions live in wide spaces ranging from 50 to 400 square kilometers. 08:18.960 --> 08:26.320 The cubs have blue eyes when they are first born and are weaned at the age of six months. 08:26.320 --> 08:34.320 They taste their first meat at three months of age and remain with their mothers until they are two years old. 08:34.320 --> 08:39.840 他們 ne are talking about the movements in the rows where they form them while walking around and where they are two months old. 08:39.840 --> 09:04.160 Thanks to its perfectly created physical structure, the cheetah can run faster than 09:04.160 --> 09:13.160 any other animal. Its spine, which can be tensed like a bow, its long legs and muscular structure 09:13.160 --> 09:31.580 allow it to sprint at 125 kilometers per hour. The claws on its feet, which grip the ground like 09:31.580 --> 09:49.580 a tread on a tire, give it wonderful mobility. Its tail, which serves as an instrument of balance, 09:49.580 --> 09:53.580 makes it possible for the cheetah to maneuver quickly when chasing its prey. 10:01.580 --> 10:21.580 God has created these animals in complete harmony with their environment. God is the 10:21.580 --> 10:25.580 Almighty, he who best knows his creations. 10:35.580 --> 10:41.580 Does he who created not then know? He is the all-pervading, the all-aware. 10:41.580 --> 10:55.580 The dragonfly possesses the most acrobatic flight of all the more than 800,000 species of insect. 10:55.580 --> 11:05.580 The wings of the dragonfly cannot be folded back on its body. In addition, the way in which the muscles 11:05.580 --> 11:09.580 for flight are used in the motion of the wings differs from the rest of insects. 11:12.580 --> 11:18.580 The dragonfly has two pairs of wings, one in a forward position with respect to the other. 11:18.580 --> 11:38.580 When flying in the opposite direction, backwards, the rear wings pull the insect along while the front 11:38.580 --> 11:43.580 wings push it. In other words, it is capable of reversing the functioning of its muscles. 11:43.580 --> 11:49.580 In this way, the dragonfly is capable of suddenly stopping and changing direction in mid-air. 11:52.580 --> 11:56.580 This superior creation of God is a source of inspiration for scientists. 11:57.580 --> 12:00.580 The wings operate asynchronously. 12:01.580 --> 12:05.580 That is, while the two frontal wings ascend, the back pair of wings descend. 12:05.580 --> 12:09.580 Two opposing muscle groups move the wings. 12:11.580 --> 12:14.580 The muscles are tied to levers inside the body. 12:15.580 --> 12:19.580 While one group of muscles pulls up a pair of wings by contracting, 12:20.580 --> 12:23.580 the other muscle group opens the other pair by refluxing. 12:24.580 --> 12:26.580 Helicopters ascend and descend by a similar technique. 12:26.580 --> 12:32.580 That is why dragonflies are called the helicopters of the insect world. 12:41.580 --> 12:42.580 South Africa. 12:42.580 --> 12:45.580 Unproductive soil that stretches for kilometers. 12:46.580 --> 12:48.580 Unproductive soil that stretches for kilometers. 12:48.580 --> 12:49.580 An antelope-eating leaves. 12:49.580 --> 12:50.580 An antelope-eating leaves. 12:50.580 --> 12:55.580 An antelope-eating leaves. 12:55.580 --> 12:56.580 Antelopes only consume certain parts of plants. 12:56.580 --> 12:57.580 An antelope-eating leaves. 12:57.580 --> 12:58.580 Antelopes only consume certain parts of plants. 12:58.580 --> 13:00.580 time of the storm. 13:14.580 --> 13:23.580 at times of drought, when they are unable to them to their birds. 13:23.580 --> 13:31.520 At times of drought, when they are unable to find sufficient food, they are also capable 13:31.520 --> 13:42.900 of eating grass, tree leaves, flowers, fruit or seeds. 13:42.900 --> 13:51.420 Antelopes are the most flawless runners among all hoofed animals. 13:51.420 --> 13:59.960 Thanks to their muscle structure, they can jump 10 meters in a single bound. 13:59.960 --> 14:03.500 A herd of antelopes. 14:03.500 --> 14:13.380 Moving as a herd makes it easier to protect themselves from predators. 14:13.380 --> 14:23.040 As soon as they spot a danger, they begin running and warn one another. 14:23.040 --> 14:27.920 As the cheetah approaches at rapid speed, they begin galloping en masse. 14:27.920 --> 14:43.460 A cloud of dust rises up. 14:43.460 --> 14:47.960 That dust cloud makes it harder for the cheetah to discern its prey. 14:47.960 --> 15:10.200 And the cheetah fails. 15:10.200 --> 15:17.360 There are two types of elephants, the largest land dwellers on earth. 15:17.360 --> 15:22.440 The African and the Indian elephant. 15:22.440 --> 15:31.200 These two species can easily be distinguished by the size of their ears. 15:31.200 --> 15:36.400 African elephants have large ears. 15:36.400 --> 15:44.360 This elephant is overheating in the hot African sun. 15:44.360 --> 15:52.800 But is able to cool itself down by flapping its ears. 15:52.800 --> 16:02.440 This allows it to lower its body temperature by up to 10 degrees Celsius. 16:02.440 --> 16:14.920 This air conditioning system works just like a car radiator. 16:14.920 --> 16:26.400 The elephant's body heat is carried to its ears by means of the circulatory system. 16:26.400 --> 16:41.360 Thanks to the paper thin tissue in the ear, the veins there come into close contact with the air and are thus able to give off that heat. 16:41.360 --> 16:50.360 This constant circulation means that a constant cooling takes place in the elephant. 16:50.360 --> 17:02.320 It takes a mere 20 minutes for all the elephant's 450 liters of blood to pass through this radiator system and be cooled. 17:02.320 --> 17:04.320 The thinness of the ear structure. 17:04.320 --> 17:10.320 Have you noticed the way the veins on the ears of elephants can be opened and closed in a controlled manner? 17:10.320 --> 17:15.280 The way the ears can be waved like a fan to cool the body down. 17:15.280 --> 17:22.280 The blood vessels, heart and many other factors comprise the key elements of this system. 17:22.280 --> 17:30.240 All these have been brought together in harmony to keep the elephant cool. 17:30.240 --> 17:38.240 In the same way that the car radiator was designed by an engineer, so the attributes of the elephant are also created. 17:38.240 --> 18:04.200 This superior creator is Almighty God. 18:04.200 --> 18:12.160 A few of the best known species of birds possess the same flying ability as the sparrow. 18:12.160 --> 18:19.160 When a sparrow flies, it appears to make very easy movements. 18:19.160 --> 18:27.160 It can fly straight towards a tree, branches, a bush or the ground. 18:27.160 --> 18:36.120 All it does at that time is to focus on its destination and give the command to its feathers. 18:36.120 --> 18:44.120 It is able to do this thanks to its wing feathers. 18:44.120 --> 18:56.120 If caught by a mild breeze in flight, it can turn, raise or lower them. 18:56.120 --> 19:03.080 There may even be a slight difference between two feathers. 19:03.080 --> 19:13.080 Compared with steel of the same weight, these feathers are one of the strongest of materials. 19:13.080 --> 19:17.080 The theory of evolution, which maintains that birds evolved from reptiles, 19:17.080 --> 19:24.040 is unable to account for the enormous differences between these two classes. 19:24.040 --> 19:38.040 Feathers, which are totally unique to birds, are just one of the features that represent an unbridgeable gap between birds and reptiles. 19:38.040 --> 19:43.000 The matchless design in bird feathers gave Charles Darwin considerable pause for thought. 19:43.000 --> 19:49.000 Moreover, the perfect aesthetics of the peacock's feathers had made him sick, his own words. 19:49.000 --> 19:55.000 And now, trifling particulars of structures often make me very uncomfortable. 19:55.000 --> 20:05.960 The sight of a feather in a peacock's tail whenever I gaze at it makes me sick. 20:05.960 --> 20:17.960 Not only feathers, but also other bodily features of birds are far too complex to be explained in terms of any evolutionary process. 20:17.960 --> 20:22.920 For example, birds' bones are hollow. 20:22.920 --> 20:30.920 This means that birds are very light and can fly with ease. 20:30.920 --> 20:37.880 Their fast-working digestive system enables the bird to immediately dispose of what it has eaten. 20:37.880 --> 20:43.880 Thus, digested food does not constitute added weight during flight. 20:43.880 --> 21:02.840 All the features you have seen here show that the sparrow was created, with all its attributes, to fly. 21:02.840 --> 21:27.100 Handicates learn from the socio-like 21:27.100 --> 21:48.860 The male peacock's most distinguishing feature is its highly decorated tail. 21:48.860 --> 21:53.540 The females have no such adornment. 21:53.540 --> 21:58.580 It is only possible to see the tail feathers of this bird, with its blue head and neck, 21:58.580 --> 22:09.200 in the mating season, when the male opens up its tail to attract the female and produces 22:09.200 --> 22:13.980 an astounding fan. 22:13.980 --> 22:22.260 The male peacock has some 200 tail feathers, which are replaced every year. 22:22.260 --> 22:35.300 Some 170 of these are in the shape of eyes, and are known as eye feathers. 22:35.300 --> 22:49.920 The remaining 30 give the fan its exquisite outline, and are known as T feathers. 22:49.920 --> 22:56.920 The eyes are distributed in a very regular manner over the fan. 22:56.920 --> 23:04.600 At the microscopic level, both T and eye feathers possess very complex designs. 23:04.600 --> 23:09.480 Each one of the eyes is visible, because there are short feathers in the front of the fan, 23:09.480 --> 23:18.000 long feathers behind. 23:18.000 --> 23:27.980 The tiny hairs on an eye feather are close together at the top, and more widely spaced at the bottom. 23:27.980 --> 23:38.020 Thanks to this wide spacing at the bottom, the part containing the eye is brought out by the creation of a contrast. 23:38.020 --> 23:46.020 The colors in a peacock's feathers are principally attractive because they are bright and striking. 23:46.020 --> 23:50.780 These striking colors change according to the angle from which one looks at them. 23:50.780 --> 23:56.980 This happens not because of color pigments, but due to an optical effect known as the thin film, 23:56.980 --> 24:04.980 which takes place in feather barbules. 24:04.980 --> 24:17.540 It is, of course, impossible for the peacock to perform such detailed calculations and install such a design in its own body. 24:17.540 --> 24:27.820 It is also impossible for it to know that these magnificent designs will impress female peacocks. 24:27.820 --> 24:34.380 The creator, who planned this extraordinarily beautiful tale, in all its detail, is Almighty God, 24:34.380 --> 24:38.380 Lord of the earth and sky, and all that lies between. 24:57.820 --> 25:12.380 Most living things in nature treat their own ailments. 25:12.380 --> 25:24.380 Animals such as the hippopotamus, water buffalo, elephant, and rhinoceros bathe in mud to get rid of parasites on their skin. 25:24.380 --> 25:28.620 No microbe or parasite can survive in mud. 25:28.620 --> 25:38.940 Clay mud, in particular, helps wounds to form a crust and heal. 25:38.940 --> 25:44.540 Elephants carefully rub pieces of clay soil with its antiseptic properties over their wounds, 25:44.540 --> 25:49.940 or throw dust over wounds with their trunks to seal them up. 25:49.940 --> 26:09.380 The noteworthy aspect of the methods animals use to treat themselves is that they all know very well what they are doing, 26:09.380 --> 26:12.500 and determine what will work well for which illness. 26:12.500 --> 26:24.500 It is of course impossible for a rhinoceros, or an elephant, or any other living thing to know that mud has an antiseptic property. 26:24.500 --> 26:29.500 All the living things in nature behave in line with God's inspiration. 26:29.500 --> 26:34.500 Omniscient God is He who watches and protects His creations. 26:34.500 --> 26:38.500 Cold Light 26:38.500 --> 26:40.500 Cold Light 26:40.500 --> 26:44.500 Scientists have still not discovered how this light comes into being. 26:44.500 --> 26:55.500 Fireflies, one of the creatures that produce light, do so with 100% efficiency. 26:55.500 --> 27:10.500 A normal light bulb, on the other hand, can only transfer 4% of electrical energy into light, the rest being given off as heat. 27:10.500 --> 27:27.500 Cold light is very bright, so much so that South American native peoples use the insects that emit cold light as torches to light their way by putting them in baskets. 27:27.500 --> 27:37.500 In producing light, the firefly combines a special chemical in its body known as luciferin with an enzyme called luciferase. 27:37.500 --> 27:43.500 This enzyme consists of nearly 1,000 amino acids. 27:43.500 --> 27:51.500 Despite our present day advanced technology, scientists are still unable to reproduce this enzyme. 27:51.500 --> 27:58.500 Yet this tiny insect is capable of producing this enzyme while lacking any knowledge about it at all. 27:58.500 --> 28:04.500 So why does this creature produce such a light? 28:04.500 --> 28:07.500 What can the purpose of that light be? 28:07.500 --> 28:12.500 These insects use light as a means of communication. 28:12.500 --> 28:29.500 Insects landing on the leaves of a tree send a signal to another group further off by all emitting light at the same time. 28:29.500 --> 28:34.500 The reason why they do this is not yet fully understood. 28:34.500 --> 28:52.500 All the details in the production of cold light are proofs that these creatures are the work of a superior intellect and infinite knowledge. 28:52.500 --> 29:11.500 God has created all the living species on earth with their own different features. 29:11.500 --> 29:17.500 Thus revealing to us His infinite might. 29:17.500 --> 29:23.500 It is revealed in one verse of the Quran that people must think deeply on this truth. 29:23.500 --> 29:43.500 Among His signs is the creation of the heavens and earth and all the creatures He has spread about in them. 29:43.500 --> 29:51.500 And He has the power to gather them together whenever He wills. 29:51.500 --> 29:56.500 None of the living things we have been watching possesses any consciousness of intellect. 29:56.500 --> 29:59.500 Some even have no brain at all. 29:59.500 --> 30:04.500 Indeed, to ascribe the features these living things possess to them, 30:04.500 --> 30:10.500 to say for example that a dragonfly engages in superior acrobatics by using its own intellect, 30:10.500 --> 30:13.500 is incompatible with reason and logic. 30:13.500 --> 30:17.500 To claim that the complex systems possessed by these creatures, 30:17.500 --> 30:21.500 their perfect harmony with nature came about as the result of chance, 30:21.500 --> 30:24.500 is no less irrational and illogical. 30:24.500 --> 30:27.500 Clear evidence can be seen, however, 30:27.500 --> 30:32.500 that there is a superior intellect and great knowledge in every one of these living things. 30:32.500 --> 30:38.500 The Lord of that intellect and creator of that perfect harmony displayed in nature is God, 30:38.500
