1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:29,980 Music 2 00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:36,320 Designs, computers, bridges and towers are all examples of an engineering design. 3 00:00:36,740 --> 00:00:41,440 Various components constituting a single hole are employed in all of them. 4 00:00:41,740 --> 00:00:48,080 And plans regarding the way that these components will be combined together are drawn up beforehand. 5 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:54,420 One must not, of course, forget the engineer, architect or designer who does all this. 6 00:00:54,420 --> 00:00:59,880 But how are we to tell whether or not there is a plan in something we see from the outside? 7 00:01:00,260 --> 00:01:05,740 If a series of components are brought together in correctly functioning engineering systems 8 00:01:05,740 --> 00:01:11,200 in such a way as to perform a superior function to those they perform on their own, 9 00:01:11,380 --> 00:01:13,800 then that reveals the presence of a plan. 10 00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:18,480 The greater the characteristics of the components giving rise to the function, 11 00:01:18,620 --> 00:01:21,780 the greater the evidence for the plan we need to identify. 12 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,680 Examples of this can be seen in systems of various kinds. 13 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,800 Think of a clock, for example. 14 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:35,060 The first components that come to mind will be the hands, cogwheels, pendulum and face. 15 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,120 None of these on its own can do what a clock does. 16 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,180 Indeed, even if they are all present together except for one single component, 17 00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:45,480 the clock will still not work. 18 00:01:45,820 --> 00:01:50,020 We can usually see engineering designs and mechanical objects. 19 00:01:50,020 --> 00:01:55,420 Yet, there are also a great many non-artificial natural structures all around us. 20 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,080 In the same way that a submarine that enables us to breathe in and travel through the depths 21 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,640 of the ocean has a plan, so does a fish. 22 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:09,900 The respiratory system that allows it to use the oxygen dissolved in the water as it swims along, 23 00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:13,900 the air sac that permits it to ascend and descend in the water, 24 00:02:14,140 --> 00:02:21,780 the fins that propel it forward and special sensory systems that permits it to detect vibrations in the water around it 25 00:02:21,780 --> 00:02:23,660 are all evidences of this. 26 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,080 As with a clock or a submarine, 27 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,500 a fish also possesses a large number of systems and components that discharge one basic function. 28 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,280 None of these components by itself can be described as a fish, 29 00:02:37,420 --> 00:02:41,900 and in their absence the survival of the fish becomes unlikely or even impossible. 30 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,940 You will be seeing just a few of the proofs of this obvious truth in the film you will shortly be watching. 31 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,960 The engineering designs that the film describes sometimes appear in a living thing's eye 32 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,980 or in the circulatory system of a giraffe or in a bird's skull. 33 00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:00,160 The more you examine these, 34 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:07,440 the more you will see what a grave error the idea that life emerged as the result of chance truly is. 35 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,540 On the other hand, you will also witness the sublime knowledge 36 00:03:11,540 --> 00:03:14,820 with which such engineering structures were created, 37 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,340 and thus see the proofs of Allah's flawless creation. 38 00:03:19,060 --> 00:03:23,300 Indeed, Allah's flawless creative power and artistry, 39 00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:26,760 are described as follows in one verse of the Qur'an. 40 00:03:26,980 --> 00:03:30,000 I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. 41 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,360 He is Allah, the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. 42 00:03:37,340 --> 00:03:39,540 To Him belong the most beautiful names. 43 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,120 Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him. 44 00:03:44,020 --> 00:03:46,560 He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. 45 00:03:46,560 --> 00:04:11,780 The aim in engineering, which is divided into very different branches, 46 00:04:11,780 --> 00:04:15,240 is to make human life more comfortable and safer, 47 00:04:15,620 --> 00:04:18,520 and to facilitate our day-to-day existence. 48 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,140 A vast number of details in human life, 49 00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:26,720 from the safety of bridges to the speed and comfort of transport vehicles, 50 00:04:27,260 --> 00:04:29,880 from simple kitchen appliances used in the home, 51 00:04:30,220 --> 00:04:31,620 to military technology, 52 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,260 are all the product of engineering. 53 00:04:34,260 --> 00:04:42,700 These products are the result of years of research, study, and acquired knowledge, 54 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,320 on the part of the trained and experienced engineers. 55 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,820 The refrigerator you use, for example, is an engineering design, 56 00:04:52,820 --> 00:04:57,960 as are your television, music set, 57 00:04:59,000 --> 00:04:59,880 vacuum cleaner, 58 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,600 car, 59 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:03,740 and computer, 60 00:05:04,460 --> 00:05:06,200 as well as industrial machinery, 61 00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:09,600 satellites, spacecraft, and so on. 62 00:05:13,660 --> 00:05:17,740 All of these are the products of fine planning and detailed calculations, 63 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,940 of the brain power and the work carried out by large numbers of people, 64 00:05:21,940 --> 00:05:25,120 all of whom are experts in their own fields. 65 00:05:25,860 --> 00:05:29,440 Just like these products that make our own lives so much easier, 66 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,740 there are also countless engineering designs in the bodies of living creatures and nature. 67 00:05:36,340 --> 00:05:39,380 Shock-absorbing mechanical structures, 68 00:05:40,180 --> 00:05:42,720 pumps with special security features, 69 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,920 energy-converting motion systems, 70 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,940 flawless optical structures, 71 00:05:50,940 --> 00:05:56,440 and toxin-neutralizing chemicals, 72 00:05:56,940 --> 00:05:58,480 are just a few of these. 73 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:07,980 Yet, an amazing conclusion emerges when one compares such perfect structures and technology in living things, 74 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,120 with man-made products developed in parallel with them. 75 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,040 None of these products go any further than being copies of nature, 76 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:22,960 and most of the time they are unable to even approach the superior level of creation in living things. 77 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:31,740 The way that a tiny insect, 78 00:06:31,740 --> 00:06:32,560 a fish, 79 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:33,760 or a bird, 80 00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:37,020 has far superior structures and systems in its body, 81 00:06:37,420 --> 00:06:40,500 compared to those that can be planned by human beings, 82 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,720 reveals one single truth. 83 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,400 The perfect technologies in living things 84 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,740 are proof that they were created. 85 00:06:47,740 --> 00:06:58,600 In one verse, 86 00:06:58,780 --> 00:06:59,740 Allah tells us, 87 00:06:59,740 --> 00:07:04,420 Say, 88 00:07:04,780 --> 00:07:07,420 Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth? 89 00:07:08,180 --> 00:07:08,460 Say, 90 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:08,840 Allah. 91 00:07:09,860 --> 00:07:10,300 Say, 92 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:16,360 So why have you taken protectors apart from him who possess no power to help or harm themselves? 93 00:07:17,580 --> 00:07:18,020 Say, 94 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,460 Are the blind and seeing equal? 95 00:07:22,660 --> 00:07:24,880 Or are darkness and light the same? 96 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:26,340 Or, 97 00:07:26,340 --> 00:07:30,960 Have they assigned partners to Allah who create as he creates, 98 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,440 so that all creating seems the same to them? 99 00:07:35,620 --> 00:07:36,040 Say, 100 00:07:36,460 --> 00:07:38,460 Allah is the creator of everything. 101 00:07:39,260 --> 00:07:40,040 He is the one, 102 00:07:40,660 --> 00:07:41,880 the all conquering. 103 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:53,780 The aim of this film is to be a means whereby people can comprehend the infinite might of Allah, 104 00:07:54,420 --> 00:07:59,160 by once again revealing different aspects of the immaculate engineering marvels 105 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,540 that have remained exactly the same in nature over millions of years. 106 00:08:03,540 --> 00:08:32,720 The use of all Underworld 107 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:48,380 The woodpeckers peck away at tree trunks to build their nests and find food. 108 00:08:48,380 --> 00:08:56,360 Some species can do this 15 to 20 times a second. 109 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:04,440 The interval between two pecks is much less than a second. 110 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:10,820 Every time the bird's beak strikes the tree, shockwaves are set up inside its head. 111 00:09:10,820 --> 00:09:17,760 But its cherry-sized brain is unaffected by these. 112 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,360 The woodpecker's secret lies in its neck muscles. 113 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:27,540 When it begins pecking, its beak and neck are exactly aligned. 114 00:09:27,540 --> 00:09:33,360 The slightest deviation from this could lead to tearing inside the brain. 115 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:39,800 There is no difference between this high-speed pecking and hitting the head against concrete. 116 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,760 The fact that the bird's brain comes to no harm is made possible by means of an extraordinary 117 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,440 structure. 118 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:54,220 Both birds' skull bones are fused together. 119 00:09:54,220 --> 00:09:57,740 The movement of its jaw opens the beak. 120 00:09:57,740 --> 00:10:03,580 In the woodpecker, however, a rubbery substance that absorbs the shockwaves arising during pecking 121 00:10:03,580 --> 00:10:06,680 separates the beak and the skull. 122 00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:15,560 This flexible substance is far superior to the shock absorbers in cars. 123 00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:20,400 Its superiority stems from the fact that it can absorb shockwaves arising at very short 124 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:28,900 intervals. 125 00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:34,340 This material is able to absorb shock caused by one strike and quickly prepares itself 126 00:10:34,340 --> 00:10:36,100 to meet the next. 127 00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:41,940 In addition, it manages this in the face of a strike rate greater than 10 in a second. 128 00:10:41,940 --> 00:10:46,680 This substance is far superior to any equivalent developed by present-day technology. 129 00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:57,980 The fact that the woodpecker's skull and top beak are joined in such an extraordinary way permits 130 00:10:57,980 --> 00:11:05,520 the area containing the brain to be separated from the beak at every strike and thus gives rise 131 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:26,300 to a second shock-absorbing mechanism. 132 00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:32,680 At up to five meters in height, the giraffe is one of the largest terrestrial animals in 133 00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:34,740 the world. 134 00:11:34,740 --> 00:11:45,680 In order to survive, it has to pump blood from its heart to the brain, two meters above it. 135 00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:49,640 Its heart must therefore be exceptionally powerful. 136 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:59,800 Indeed, the giraffe's heart is as powerful as to pump blood at a pressure of 350 tours. 137 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:05,440 This system, which is normally fatal to human beings, lies in a special compartment equipped 138 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:15,520 with small blood vessels capable of dealing with this potentially lethal pressure. 139 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,760 That section leading from the head to the heart contains a U system formed by veins running 140 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,720 up and down. 141 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:29,620 The blood vessels running on the opposite direction neutralize the total pressure, preventing sudden 142 00:12:29,620 --> 00:12:34,880 hemorrhaging caused by internal pressure. 143 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:42,400 The legs and feet also require special protection in that part, descending downwards from the heart. 144 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,400 The fact that the skin around the giraffe's legs and feet is very thick protects it from 145 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,000 the negative effects of blood pressure. 146 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,640 There are also small valves inside the veins that can halt the strong flow of blood and 147 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,240 thus bring the pressure under control. 148 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:06,000 The greatest threat, however, arises when the animal lowers its head to the ground in order 149 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:12,500 to drink. 150 00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:18,180 Under normal conditions, blood pressure, intense enough to cause a brain hemorrhage, would increase 151 00:13:18,180 --> 00:13:20,240 even further in this situation. 152 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:25,240 But, a flawless precaution has been taken against that danger. 153 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:31,500 A fluid secreted inside the body enters the equation and reduces the amount of blood pumped 154 00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:34,420 by shrinking the volume of the heart. 155 00:13:34,420 --> 00:13:42,540 There are also special valves in the animal's neck that come into play when it lowers its head. 156 00:13:42,540 --> 00:13:48,260 These valves significantly reduce the flow of blood, thus permitting the giraffe to safely 157 00:13:48,260 --> 00:13:54,180 drink and raise its head again. 158 00:13:54,180 --> 00:13:59,040 The thickness of the giraffe's many layers of veins is another precaution taken in the face 159 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:23,180 of the threat posed by this high blood pressure. 160 00:14:23,180 --> 00:14:32,200 Is it possible for a Boeing 737 to fly the 2,800 miles between Alaska and Hawaii without being 161 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,860 loaded with fuel? 162 00:14:34,860 --> 00:14:40,720 Let us first consider some of the facts regarding the plane before answering that question. 163 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:49,500 The maximum amount of fuel you can place in the tank is 14.2 tons, yet the flight from 164 00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:56,320 Alaska to Hawaii requires 30 tons of fuel. 165 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,500 In other words, if that plane takes off with the intention of flying nonstop to Hawaii, it 166 00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:04,500 will plunge into the sea en route. 167 00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:10,140 However, it is possible to fly this distance nonstop. 168 00:15:10,140 --> 00:15:21,500 The Golden Plover is a bird weighing only 200 grams, not a plane weighing many tons. 169 00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:29,560 Every year, the Golden Plover flies the 2,500 miles from Alaska to Hawaii in 88 hours. 170 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:35,820 In other words, in 3.5 days, flapping its wings the whole time. 171 00:15:35,820 --> 00:15:43,320 Scientists have calculated that the bird needs 82 grams of fat to use as fuel on such a journey. 172 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:50,140 Yet, the Golden Plover's body contains only 70 grams of fat. 173 00:15:50,140 --> 00:15:56,140 Yet, it never falls into the sea because it has used up all its fuel. 174 00:15:56,140 --> 00:16:04,180 So, what is the secret behind this flawless flight system? 175 00:16:04,180 --> 00:16:09,880 The birds fly in a flock rather than haphazardly on their own. 176 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:16,140 As they fly, they assume a specific formation and establish a V-shape in the air. 177 00:16:16,140 --> 00:16:20,680 This V-shape lowers air resistance. 178 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:26,940 This flight arrangement is so effective that the birds save 23% of their energy because 179 00:16:26,940 --> 00:16:29,020 of it. 180 00:16:29,020 --> 00:16:35,580 This means they still have an excess of 6 to 7 grams of fat when they land. 181 00:16:35,580 --> 00:16:39,520 This excess fat is not surplus to requirements, however. 182 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:45,920 It represents spare fuel in the event that the wind starts blowing from the opposite direction. 183 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:50,500 We now need to ask the following question in the face of this marvelous state of affairs. 184 00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:56,400 How does the bird know how much fuel it will require for the flight? 185 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:01,820 How is it able to adjust exactly that amount of fat before setting off? 186 00:17:01,820 --> 00:17:05,360 How does it calculate the distance it will have to fly? 187 00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:07,940 And how much fuel it will consume? 188 00:17:07,940 --> 00:17:15,320 How does the bird know that conditions are better in Hawaii than in Alaska? 189 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:21,360 It cannot make such flawless calculations, navigate so perfectly, or manage to fly in formation 190 00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:28,020 by itself, and of its own free will. 191 00:17:28,020 --> 00:17:33,560 All these things take place through the inspiration of Allah, who has equipped all living things 192 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:38,460 with the systems they need. 193 00:17:38,460 --> 00:17:44,460 Indeed, in the Quran, it is referred to birds flying with wings outspread and folded back. 194 00:17:44,460 --> 00:17:54,460 And it is revealed that it is the might of Allah that permits these animals to fly. 195 00:17:54,460 --> 00:18:00,480 If they not looked at the birds above them, with wings outspread and folded back. 196 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,300 Nothing holds them up but the all-merciful. 197 00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:04,700 He sees all things. 198 00:18:24,460 --> 00:18:44,560 They do not act. 199 00:18:44,560 --> 00:19:01,240 during and after the incubation period, in order to take care of their young. 200 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,840 There is something particularly astonishing about this walk. 201 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:15,260 Although penguins have large bodies, they have very small legs that make walking difficult. 202 00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:22,080 This would normally mean an excessive consumption of energy. 203 00:19:25,220 --> 00:19:29,940 And this would in turn mean death for penguins setting out on a long journey, 204 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,780 with only a limited supply of spare food. 205 00:19:32,780 --> 00:19:39,520 So how is it that penguins manage to walk such a long distance, 206 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,500 despite the state of affairs that happens to represent such a disadvantage? 207 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,300 Penguins walk by swaying right and left. 208 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,260 The reason for this pendulum-like gait is exceedingly important. 209 00:19:55,260 --> 00:20:00,280 They save an enormous amount of energy through that gait. 210 00:20:04,660 --> 00:20:07,020 The penguins' legs are very short. 211 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,120 However, they neutralize this disadvantage by swaying to the side 212 00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:15,980 and thus reduce muscle fatigue to a minimum. 213 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,900 Indeed, at the end of every step, they have stored enough energy for the next one. 214 00:20:22,900 --> 00:20:28,780 For penguins to walk straight forward, rather than from side to side, 215 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,200 they would have to expend twice the energy of an animal of their size. 216 00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:39,040 However, this peculiar gait permits penguins to expend energy 217 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,200 only when they start and stop while walking. 218 00:20:43,780 --> 00:20:47,520 This is the best way for their limited food supply to last them 219 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,560 until they reach the sea. 220 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,940 A gait that permits such saving of energy 221 00:20:53,940 --> 00:20:57,000 is not, of course, something that the penguin discovered on its own. 222 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,360 Moreover, not just one penguin does this, 223 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,520 but all penguins do this. 224 00:21:08,060 --> 00:21:10,660 Penguins know and apply this advantage 225 00:21:10,660 --> 00:21:13,640 that permits them to survive the harsh winter conditions 226 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,940 from the moment they are born. 227 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,380 Any other behavior would have serious and possibly fatal consequences. 228 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,980 It is out of the question for penguins to experiment 229 00:21:24,980 --> 00:21:28,260 with ways to expend the least energy possible 230 00:21:28,260 --> 00:21:29,640 in the freezing cold 231 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,960 before finally deciding on this particular way of walking. 232 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,760 This gait is one of the proofs of Allah's affection 233 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,580 and compassion for living things. 234 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,300 It is Allah who creates penguins and inspires their behavior. 235 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,020 Allah gave all the creatures unique figures 236 00:21:52,020 --> 00:21:55,020 and created them with superior features. 237 00:21:55,020 --> 00:22:13,280 There is a very powerful adhesion system 238 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,240 in the feet of the gecko lizard 239 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,560 that is not found in any other life form. 240 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,100 The gecko's miraculous adhesion system 241 00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,120 does not contain any chemicals 242 00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:25,560 in other words 243 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,660 there is no sticky substance 244 00:22:27,660 --> 00:22:29,340 on the soles of its feet 245 00:22:29,340 --> 00:22:30,900 nor do their feet 246 00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:33,200 have any sucker-like structures. 247 00:22:35,140 --> 00:22:36,620 Research has revealed 248 00:22:36,620 --> 00:22:38,800 that the mechanism in the lizard's feet 249 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,700 is an example of sublime engineering. 250 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,380 The fact is that these tiny reptiles' feet 251 00:22:45,380 --> 00:22:47,920 have been specially created for climbing. 252 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,800 A team in the US 253 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,540 established by the environmental physiologist 254 00:22:53,540 --> 00:22:54,980 Keller Ottom 255 00:22:54,980 --> 00:22:56,980 and the bio-engineer Robert Folle 256 00:22:56,980 --> 00:23:00,940 with funding for the Massachusetts IS Robotics 257 00:23:00,940 --> 00:23:03,320 performed a microscopic analysis 258 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:04,880 of how the gecko climbs. 259 00:23:07,980 --> 00:23:11,660 The results showed that we are dealing with a marvel of creation 260 00:23:11,660 --> 00:23:14,220 as a result of scientific progress. 261 00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:19,100 There is a force in the gecko's feet 262 00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:22,100 that is probably known only to nuclear physicists. 263 00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:26,100 The factor that enables the lizard to cling to walls 264 00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:27,260 and the like 265 00:23:27,260 --> 00:23:30,240 is the large number of microscopic hairs 266 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,860 on the soles of its feet. 267 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,740 There are some 2 million thick hairs 268 00:23:34,740 --> 00:23:36,400 on a single gecko foot. 269 00:23:37,060 --> 00:23:38,720 Each one of these thick hairs 270 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,280 divides like the branches of a tree 271 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,960 splitting up into 1,000 much smaller hairs. 272 00:23:45,180 --> 00:23:48,860 There are approximately 2 billion such tiny hairs 273 00:23:48,860 --> 00:23:50,220 on a gecko's foot. 274 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,780 The number of hairs on a human being's head 275 00:23:52,780 --> 00:23:55,160 is approximately 100,000. 276 00:23:55,860 --> 00:23:57,820 If the number of hairs on our heads 277 00:23:57,820 --> 00:24:00,260 were equivalent to that of the micro hairs 278 00:24:00,260 --> 00:24:01,320 on the gecko's feet 279 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,780 then those hairs would only fit 280 00:24:03,780 --> 00:24:06,340 on an area the size of a football field. 281 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,420 This enormous number of micro hairs 282 00:24:09,420 --> 00:24:10,880 has been specially planned 283 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,020 to permit the gecko 284 00:24:12,020 --> 00:24:13,720 to adhere to surfaces. 285 00:24:14,420 --> 00:24:16,080 Were the hairs any fewer in number 286 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,380 it would be unable to attach itself 287 00:24:18,380 --> 00:24:19,380 to such surfaces. 288 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,380 These micro hairs make contact with the surface 289 00:24:22,380 --> 00:24:24,000 on which the lizard is walking 290 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:24,840 in such a way 291 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,040 as to leave no empty spaces. 292 00:24:27,860 --> 00:24:29,840 Experts have calculated that a gecko 293 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,360 has a 120 kilo adhesion capacity. 294 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,160 This is equivalent to a 70 kilo human being 295 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,800 sticking to the ceiling 296 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,080 with a force of 90 tons. 297 00:24:43,580 --> 00:24:45,580 If the system in the gecko's feet 298 00:24:45,580 --> 00:24:47,420 were to exist in the human hand 299 00:24:47,420 --> 00:24:49,700 then we would be able to lift 300 00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:52,420 10 trucks weighing 9 tons each 301 00:24:52,420 --> 00:24:54,660 by sticking to the ceiling 302 00:24:54,660 --> 00:24:56,520 by the palm of our hands. 303 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,780 It is obvious that the gecko's feet 304 00:25:01,780 --> 00:25:04,220 have been specially created for adhesion. 305 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,160 The hairs used in this process 306 00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:10,180 are in exactly the right place 307 00:25:10,180 --> 00:25:11,980 and have exact numbers. 308 00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:16,920 Such a perfect structure cannot, of course, 309 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:18,660 be the work of either nature 310 00:25:18,660 --> 00:25:20,140 or the gecko itself. 311 00:25:20,140 --> 00:25:22,280 There is absolutely no doubt 312 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:23,140 that this creation 313 00:25:23,140 --> 00:25:24,240 is that of Allah, 314 00:25:24,660 --> 00:25:26,140 creator of all living things 315 00:25:26,140 --> 00:25:26,820 on the earth 316 00:25:26,820 --> 00:25:28,140 and in the sky 317 00:25:28,140 --> 00:25:30,140 and all that lies in between. 318 00:25:30,140 --> 00:25:50,840 There are a number of very different kinds of eye 319 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,320 in the living world. 320 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,000 We are generally familiar 321 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,520 with the camera type eye 322 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,760 unique to vertebrates. 323 00:26:00,700 --> 00:26:02,340 This works on the principle 324 00:26:02,340 --> 00:26:03,600 of light refraction. 325 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:05,420 Light from the outside 326 00:26:05,420 --> 00:26:07,160 enters by being refracted 327 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:07,780 by the lens 328 00:26:07,780 --> 00:26:09,260 in the front part of the eye 329 00:26:09,260 --> 00:26:10,600 by way of which 330 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:11,480 it is focused 331 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,920 on the posterior part. 332 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,720 The eyes of some other living things, 333 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:17,040 however, 334 00:26:17,260 --> 00:26:18,260 function very differently. 335 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:22,700 One of these 336 00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:23,920 is the lobster eye. 337 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,540 This works on the principle 338 00:26:26,540 --> 00:26:27,260 of reflection 339 00:26:27,260 --> 00:26:28,740 rather than refraction. 340 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,040 The noteworthy feature 341 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,200 of the lobster eye 342 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:33,740 is that the surface 343 00:26:33,740 --> 00:26:34,460 is made up 344 00:26:34,460 --> 00:26:36,100 of a large number of squares. 345 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,400 These are highly regular 346 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,500 as we can see. 347 00:26:41,060 --> 00:26:42,540 These regular squares 348 00:26:42,540 --> 00:26:44,140 on the lobster's eye 349 00:26:44,140 --> 00:26:45,920 are all in fact 350 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,120 the front surface 351 00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:48,200 of square prisms. 352 00:26:49,420 --> 00:26:50,000 This structure 353 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:50,740 may be compared 354 00:26:50,740 --> 00:26:51,740 to a honeycomb. 355 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:53,240 When you look 356 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,160 at a honeycomb, 357 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:55,740 you first see only 358 00:26:55,740 --> 00:26:57,520 a hexagonal surface. 359 00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:58,800 However, 360 00:26:59,300 --> 00:27:00,620 these hexagonal surfaces 361 00:27:00,620 --> 00:27:01,620 are the surfaces 362 00:27:01,620 --> 00:27:02,540 of prisms 363 00:27:02,540 --> 00:27:04,060 extending towards 364 00:27:04,060 --> 00:27:04,860 the interior 365 00:27:04,860 --> 00:27:05,660 of the comb. 366 00:27:06,180 --> 00:27:06,600 What makes 367 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:07,840 the lobster's eye 368 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:08,360 different 369 00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:09,560 is that the shape 370 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:10,160 is square 371 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,560 instead of hexagonal. 372 00:27:11,900 --> 00:27:12,400 Even more 373 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,160 interestingly, 374 00:27:13,860 --> 00:27:14,940 the interior surfaces 375 00:27:14,940 --> 00:27:16,080 of each of these 376 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:16,960 square prisms 377 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,400 have a mirror-like 378 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:18,980 structure. 379 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,560 These mirror-like surfaces 380 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:22,360 reflect light 381 00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:23,960 in a very powerful manner. 382 00:27:25,820 --> 00:27:26,320 These prisms 383 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:27,000 are placed 384 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,020 with an angle 385 00:27:28,020 --> 00:27:28,880 to flawlessly 386 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:29,780 focus light 387 00:27:29,780 --> 00:27:31,880 on one single point. 388 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:38,560 It is clear 389 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,680 that the structure 390 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:40,580 here represents 391 00:27:40,580 --> 00:27:41,380 a serious 392 00:27:41,380 --> 00:27:42,080 difficulty 393 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:42,860 for the theory 394 00:27:42,860 --> 00:27:43,660 of evolution. 395 00:27:44,340 --> 00:27:45,780 First and foremost, 396 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:46,700 the eye 397 00:27:46,700 --> 00:27:47,840 possesses the feature 398 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:48,660 known as 399 00:27:48,660 --> 00:27:50,200 irreducible complexity. 400 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,440 Were it not 401 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:52,640 for the square cells 402 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:53,380 in the front 403 00:27:53,380 --> 00:27:54,500 part of the eye, 404 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:55,620 or if these were 405 00:27:55,620 --> 00:27:56,860 unable to reflect light, 406 00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:58,140 or if there were 407 00:27:58,140 --> 00:27:59,460 no retinal layer 408 00:27:59,460 --> 00:28:00,160 in the back 409 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:00,800 of the eye, 410 00:28:01,220 --> 00:28:01,920 the eye would serve 411 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,100 no purpose at all. 412 00:28:03,940 --> 00:28:04,720 For that reason, 413 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,140 it cannot be suggested 414 00:28:06,140 --> 00:28:07,280 that the lobster eye 415 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:08,660 developed in stages. 416 00:28:09,900 --> 00:28:10,560 To suggest 417 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,080 that such a perfect structure 418 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:12,720 came about 419 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:13,920 by coincidences 420 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,920 is totally irrational. 421 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,280 The gradual loss 422 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,060 of the lens 423 00:28:21,060 --> 00:28:22,840 in a crustacean's eye 424 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:23,660 and the emergence 425 00:28:23,660 --> 00:28:25,200 of mirrored surfaces 426 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,540 where the lens 427 00:28:26,540 --> 00:28:27,600 had once been 428 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,500 would leave 429 00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:29,420 the animal deprived 430 00:28:29,420 --> 00:28:29,980 of sight 431 00:28:29,980 --> 00:28:30,540 right from 432 00:28:30,540 --> 00:28:31,920 the very outset. 433 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:35,580 It would, 434 00:28:35,860 --> 00:28:36,280 therefore, 435 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:37,880 be eliminated 436 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,600 through natural selection. 437 00:28:40,860 --> 00:28:41,300 Obviously, 438 00:28:41,300 --> 00:28:42,700 both eye structures 439 00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:43,520 have been structured 440 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,260 according to 441 00:28:44,260 --> 00:28:45,620 two very different 442 00:28:45,620 --> 00:28:46,180 blueprints 443 00:28:46,180 --> 00:28:47,640 and individually 444 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:48,340 created. 445 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:50,100 There is such 446 00:28:50,100 --> 00:28:50,820 an immaculate 447 00:28:50,820 --> 00:28:51,780 geometric order 448 00:28:51,780 --> 00:28:52,740 in these eyes 449 00:28:52,740 --> 00:28:54,960 that it is ridiculous 450 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:55,860 to even consider 451 00:28:55,860 --> 00:28:56,620 the possibility 452 00:28:56,620 --> 00:28:57,520 of chance. 453 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,200 Like all other 454 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,720 miracles of creation, 455 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:04,300 the lobster eye 456 00:29:04,300 --> 00:29:05,660 shows the infinite 457 00:29:05,660 --> 00:29:06,520 and flawless 458 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:07,660 creative ability 459 00:29:07,660 --> 00:29:09,180 of the creator. 460 00:29:09,180 --> 00:29:13,880 this is a manifestation 461 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,000 of the infinite 462 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:15,560 knowledge, 463 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:16,160 might 464 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,200 and intelligence 465 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:17,920 of Allah. 466 00:29:25,020 --> 00:29:26,080 Wherever we look 467 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:26,880 in the living world 468 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:27,580 we encounter 469 00:29:27,580 --> 00:29:28,480 such miracles 470 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,300 of creation. 471 00:29:29,300 --> 00:29:31,040 water 472 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:31,720 techniques 473 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:48,180 and 474 00:29:48,180 --> 00:29:49,140 capture 475 00:29:49,140 --> 00:29:49,540 the 476 00:29:49,540 --> 00:29:50,120 of all 477 00:29:50,620 --> 00:29:52,100 the 478 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:53,020 the 479 00:29:53,020 --> 00:29:53,400 the 480 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:54,120 the 481 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:54,360 the 482 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:54,680 that 483 00:29:56,180 --> 00:29:56,260 完了 484 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:56,680 and 485 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,360 puts 486 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:11,920 One species of parrot that lives in South America manages to feed on some seeds, even 487 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,800 though they are highly poisonous. 488 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,480 The behavior of this parrot is quite amazing. 489 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:24,540 While other living things are unable to even approach these seeds, why is it that nothing 490 00:30:24,540 --> 00:30:30,660 happens to these birds that constantly eat them? 491 00:30:30,660 --> 00:30:35,420 Immediately after eating these seeds, which are actually highly nutritious, these parrots 492 00:30:35,420 --> 00:30:42,020 known as macaws fly off to a cliff face. 493 00:30:42,020 --> 00:30:48,440 When they arrive they break off a few fragments of rock with clay and swallow them. 494 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,820 This is no random activity. 495 00:30:52,820 --> 00:30:57,920 The characteristic of these rock fragments is that they absorb the toxins inside the 496 00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,420 seeds. 497 00:30:59,420 --> 00:31:07,040 This enables the birds to digest the seeds without the slightest discomfort. 498 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:12,280 But how do these birds come by the medical knowledge with which to determine the poisonous 499 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,780 effects of these seeds? 500 00:31:14,780 --> 00:31:20,960 How do they know how to neutralize those effects? 501 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:26,060 They have been taught enough pharmacology to know that these rocks contain a substance 502 00:31:26,060 --> 00:31:31,560 that will neutralize the toxins in the seeds. 503 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,680 No such thing is possible, of course. 504 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:42,840 A human being cannot tell if seeds are poisonous just by looking at them. 505 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,160 How can they know how to neutralize the toxins? 506 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:54,900 They will either have to have received special training or else to have asked someone who knows. 507 00:31:54,900 --> 00:32:01,160 That being the case, it is impossible to say that a bird devoid of any reason or consciousness 508 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:08,120 could have discovered such a thing as a result of lengthy chemical analysis and investigations. 509 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:13,760 It is impossible for macaws to have acquired the knowledge that human beings can only attain 510 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,160 after years of special training by chance. 511 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:26,120 It is Allah, the flawless creator of all things, who taught this to the macaws. 512 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:31,820 Reflection on such examples is sufficient to show that the behavior of living things cannot 513 00:32:31,820 --> 00:32:38,560 be the result of chance. 514 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:46,500 Allah inspires the knowledge to all living things. 515 00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:53,400 None of the creatures are left aimlessly to coincidences. 516 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:59,000 In one of the verses of the Quran it is revealed that all living things are under the absolute 517 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:05,320 control and dominion of Allah. 518 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:10,420 I have put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord. 519 00:33:10,420 --> 00:33:14,460 There is no creature he does not hold by the forelock. 520 00:33:14,460 --> 00:33:30,660 My Lord is on a straight path. 521 00:33:30,660 --> 00:33:37,740 There is a fallacy that certain people are constantly trying to indoctrinate people with. 522 00:33:37,740 --> 00:33:41,740 The fallacy that living things have evolved. 523 00:33:41,740 --> 00:33:47,480 Just seeing living things, each of which has its own superior engineering structure, will 524 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:55,180 enable you to grasp the invalidity of the theory of evolution, which is based solely on coincidences. 525 00:33:55,180 --> 00:33:59,820 But what good will that do to you? 526 00:33:59,820 --> 00:34:06,480 Seeing the invalidity of the theory of evolution will show you how irrational and hollow all efforts 527 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:13,700 to deny creation really are, and how they can never bear fruit. 528 00:34:13,700 --> 00:34:19,500 The second thing you will gain from discovering how things are created around you is that you 529 00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:23,400 will begin to delight in all the beauties presented to you. 530 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:32,140 Your life will beautify and have meaning as you see the perfection in things around you. 531 00:34:32,140 --> 00:34:37,360 The acquisition of this perspective, the details you have seen all around you, but have never 532 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:43,820 much thought about, will cease to be ordinary, and will come to represent a source of enormous 533 00:34:43,820 --> 00:34:47,620 joy and excitement. 534 00:34:47,620 --> 00:34:54,160 Beyond all these things, one single living thing whose creation you have learned, and reflected 535 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,840 upon, will gain you something else. 536 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:06,040 Something incomparably more valuable than anything else in the world. 537 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:11,980 When you learn that there is a flawless mechanical structure in the woodpecker's head, you will 538 00:35:11,980 --> 00:35:16,600 actually be looking at a great and highly significant truth. 539 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:22,920 There is a hidden mind in the body of this creature. 540 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:28,240 There is a flawlessness and perfection that the human mind can never attain through knowledge 541 00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:30,400 and experience. 542 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:36,660 Each component contains such complex structures and systems that it has taken human beings 543 00:35:36,660 --> 00:35:43,820 thousands of years of accumulated technology and knowledge to unravel their secrets, let alone 544 00:35:43,820 --> 00:35:49,100 to make anything in any way comparable. 545 00:35:49,100 --> 00:35:55,540 Moreover, there are countless miracles in life that have still not been discovered with present 546 00:35:55,540 --> 00:35:59,820 day science and technology. 547 00:35:59,820 --> 00:36:06,080 As a result, the more we discover these perfect examples of creation and living things, the more 548 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:13,060 we will realize the indisputable existence of Allah, and the better knowledge we will have 549 00:36:13,060 --> 00:36:17,400 of His infinite might and sublime names. 550 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:22,580 This reality will permit one to readjust the life he is leading in this world towards the 551 00:36:22,580 --> 00:36:26,840 infinite life of the hereafter. 552 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:33,220 So long as people turn their eyes toward the hereafter, and believe in Allah, and seek to 553 00:36:33,220 --> 00:36:41,900 please Him, they are promised paradise with all its matchless beauties and unending blessings. 554 00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:48,240 The life in the hereafter will not be one hundred years, one thousand, or one million years. 555 00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:52,140 It will be eternal. 556 00:36:52,140 --> 00:36:57,280 There infinite beauties and blessings will be showered upon the believers, and everything 557 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:03,340 a person desires will be His for all time. 558 00:37:03,340 --> 00:37:11,960 Most important of all, the greatest reward awaiting the believers there is the approval of our Lord. 559 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:19,040 A little reflection on just one living thing will enable us to grasp this enormous truth, 560 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:29,160 and to obtain this wondrous reward by readjusting our lives in the light of these facts. 561 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:36,680 Knowing this truth, while still in the life of this world, brings with it endless benefits. 562 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:42,400 Failure to comprehend it, or ignoring it out of arrogance, will spell the beginning of a 563 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:53,720 terrible regret from which there can be no way back. 564 00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:56,520 Every self will taste death. 565 00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,840 You will be paid your wages in full on the day of rising. 566 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:08,600 Anyone who is distanced from the fire, and admitted to the garden, has triumphed. 567 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,220 The life of this world is just the enjoyment of delusion. 568 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:45,220 for the people of this world. 569 00:38:45,220 --> 00:38:47,080 Some of you will be比 школ. 570 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,820 That way,

fate, as well as disease of anger. 573 00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,220 Trade the time. 574 00:38:59,220 --> 00:39:00,220 같은데. 575 00:39:00,220 --> 00:39:01,220 ! 576 00:39:01,220 --> 00:39:03,280 It
