WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:29.980 Music 00:29.980 --> 00:36.320 Designs, computers, bridges and towers are all examples of an engineering design. 00:36.740 --> 00:41.440 Various components constituting a single hole are employed in all of them. 00:41.740 --> 00:48.080 And plans regarding the way that these components will be combined together are drawn up beforehand. 00:48.560 --> 00:54.420 One must not, of course, forget the engineer, architect or designer who does all this. 00:54.420 --> 00:59.880 But how are we to tell whether or not there is a plan in something we see from the outside? 01:00.260 --> 01:05.740 If a series of components are brought together in correctly functioning engineering systems 01:05.740 --> 01:11.200 in such a way as to perform a superior function to those they perform on their own, 01:11.380 --> 01:13.800 then that reveals the presence of a plan. 01:14.100 --> 01:18.480 The greater the characteristics of the components giving rise to the function, 01:18.620 --> 01:21.780 the greater the evidence for the plan we need to identify. 01:22.200 --> 01:26.680 Examples of this can be seen in systems of various kinds. 01:26.680 --> 01:28.800 Think of a clock, for example. 01:29.120 --> 01:35.060 The first components that come to mind will be the hands, cogwheels, pendulum and face. 01:35.360 --> 01:38.120 None of these on its own can do what a clock does. 01:38.560 --> 01:43.180 Indeed, even if they are all present together except for one single component, 01:43.700 --> 01:45.480 the clock will still not work. 01:45.820 --> 01:50.020 We can usually see engineering designs and mechanical objects. 01:50.020 --> 01:55.420 Yet, there are also a great many non-artificial natural structures all around us. 01:56.200 --> 02:01.080 In the same way that a submarine that enables us to breathe in and travel through the depths 02:01.080 --> 02:03.640 of the ocean has a plan, so does a fish. 02:03.800 --> 02:09.900 The respiratory system that allows it to use the oxygen dissolved in the water as it swims along, 02:09.900 --> 02:13.900 the air sac that permits it to ascend and descend in the water, 02:14.140 --> 02:21.780 the fins that propel it forward and special sensory systems that permits it to detect vibrations in the water around it 02:21.780 --> 02:23.660 are all evidences of this. 02:24.120 --> 02:26.080 As with a clock or a submarine, 02:26.080 --> 02:32.500 a fish also possesses a large number of systems and components that discharge one basic function. 02:33.000 --> 02:37.280 None of these components by itself can be described as a fish, 02:37.420 --> 02:41.900 and in their absence the survival of the fish becomes unlikely or even impossible. 02:42.600 --> 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. 02:48.480 --> 02:53.960 The engineering designs that the film describes sometimes appear in a living thing's eye 02:53.960 --> 02:57.980 or in the circulatory system of a giraffe or in a bird's skull. 02:58.640 --> 03:00.160 The more you examine these, 03:00.760 --> 03:07.440 the more you will see what a grave error the idea that life emerged as the result of chance truly is. 03:08.160 --> 03:11.540 On the other hand, you will also witness the sublime knowledge 03:11.540 --> 03:14.820 with which such engineering structures were created, 03:15.320 --> 03:18.340 and thus see the proofs of Allah's flawless creation. 03:19.060 --> 03:23.300 Indeed, Allah's flawless creative power and artistry, 03:23.300 --> 03:26.760 are described as follows in one verse of the Qur'an. 03:26.980 --> 03:30.000 I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. 03:31.080 --> 03:36.360 He is Allah, the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. 03:37.340 --> 03:39.540 To Him belong the most beautiful names. 03:40.440 --> 03:43.120 Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him. 03:44.020 --> 03:46.560 He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. 03:46.560 --> 04:11.780 The aim in engineering, which is divided into very different branches, 04:11.780 --> 04:15.240 is to make human life more comfortable and safer, 04:15.620 --> 04:18.520 and to facilitate our day-to-day existence. 04:18.520 --> 04:22.140 A vast number of details in human life, 04:22.140 --> 04:26.720 from the safety of bridges to the speed and comfort of transport vehicles, 04:27.260 --> 04:29.880 from simple kitchen appliances used in the home, 04:30.220 --> 04:31.620 to military technology, 04:32.120 --> 04:34.260 are all the product of engineering. 04:34.260 --> 04:42.700 These products are the result of years of research, study, and acquired knowledge, 04:43.000 --> 04:46.320 on the part of the trained and experienced engineers. 04:47.320 --> 04:52.820 The refrigerator you use, for example, is an engineering design, 04:52.820 --> 04:57.960 as are your television, music set, 04:59.000 --> 04:59.880 vacuum cleaner, 05:00.800 --> 05:01.600 car, 05:02.720 --> 05:03.740 and computer, 05:04.460 --> 05:06.200 as well as industrial machinery, 05:06.900 --> 05:09.600 satellites, spacecraft, and so on. 05:13.660 --> 05:17.740 All of these are the products of fine planning and detailed calculations, 05:18.200 --> 05:21.940 of the brain power and the work carried out by large numbers of people, 05:21.940 --> 05:25.120 all of whom are experts in their own fields. 05:25.860 --> 05:29.440 Just like these products that make our own lives so much easier, 05:29.960 --> 05:34.740 there are also countless engineering designs in the bodies of living creatures and nature. 05:36.340 --> 05:39.380 Shock-absorbing mechanical structures, 05:40.180 --> 05:42.720 pumps with special security features, 05:44.600 --> 05:46.920 energy-converting motion systems, 05:46.920 --> 05:50.940 flawless optical structures, 05:50.940 --> 05:56.440 and toxin-neutralizing chemicals, 05:56.940 --> 05:58.480 are just a few of these. 06:00.600 --> 06:07.980 Yet, an amazing conclusion emerges when one compares such perfect structures and technology in living things, 06:08.360 --> 06:11.120 with man-made products developed in parallel with them. 06:11.120 --> 06:16.040 None of these products go any further than being copies of nature, 06:16.720 --> 06:22.960 and most of the time they are unable to even approach the superior level of creation in living things. 06:22.960 --> 06:31.740 The way that a tiny insect, 06:31.740 --> 06:32.560 a fish, 06:33.200 --> 06:33.760 or a bird, 06:33.840 --> 06:37.020 has far superior structures and systems in its body, 06:37.420 --> 06:40.500 compared to those that can be planned by human beings, 06:40.920 --> 06:42.720 reveals one single truth. 06:43.240 --> 06:45.400 The perfect technologies in living things 06:45.400 --> 06:47.740 are proof that they were created. 06:47.740 --> 06:58.600 In one verse, 06:58.780 --> 06:59.740 Allah tells us, 06:59.740 --> 07:04.420 Say, 07:04.780 --> 07:07.420 Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth? 07:08.180 --> 07:08.460 Say, 07:08.560 --> 07:08.840 Allah. 07:09.860 --> 07:10.300 Say, 07:11.080 --> 07:16.360 So why have you taken protectors apart from him who possess no power to help or harm themselves? 07:17.580 --> 07:18.020 Say, 07:18.520 --> 07:20.460 Are the blind and seeing equal? 07:22.660 --> 07:24.880 Or are darkness and light the same? 07:25.960 --> 07:26.340 Or, 07:26.340 --> 07:30.960 Have they assigned partners to Allah who create as he creates, 07:31.800 --> 07:34.440 so that all creating seems the same to them? 07:35.620 --> 07:36.040 Say, 07:36.460 --> 07:38.460 Allah is the creator of everything. 07:39.260 --> 07:40.040 He is the one, 07:40.660 --> 07:41.880 the all conquering. 07:41.880 --> 07:53.780 The aim of this film is to be a means whereby people can comprehend the infinite might of Allah, 07:54.420 --> 07:59.160 by once again revealing different aspects of the immaculate engineering marvels 07:59.160 --> 08:03.540 that have remained exactly the same in nature over millions of years. 08:03.540 --> 08:32.720 The use of all Underworld 08:32.720 --> 08:48.380 The woodpeckers peck away at tree trunks to build their nests and find food. 08:48.380 --> 08:56.360 Some species can do this 15 to 20 times a second. 08:56.360 --> 09:04.440 The interval between two pecks is much less than a second. 09:04.440 --> 09:10.820 Every time the bird's beak strikes the tree, shockwaves are set up inside its head. 09:10.820 --> 09:17.760 But its cherry-sized brain is unaffected by these. 09:17.760 --> 09:21.360 The woodpecker's secret lies in its neck muscles. 09:21.360 --> 09:27.540 When it begins pecking, its beak and neck are exactly aligned. 09:27.540 --> 09:33.360 The slightest deviation from this could lead to tearing inside the brain. 09:33.360 --> 09:39.800 There is no difference between this high-speed pecking and hitting the head against concrete. 09:39.800 --> 09:44.760 The fact that the bird's brain comes to no harm is made possible by means of an extraordinary 09:44.760 --> 09:48.440 structure. 09:48.440 --> 09:54.220 Both birds' skull bones are fused together. 09:54.220 --> 09:57.740 The movement of its jaw opens the beak. 09:57.740 --> 10:03.580 In the woodpecker, however, a rubbery substance that absorbs the shockwaves arising during pecking 10:03.580 --> 10:06.680 separates the beak and the skull. 10:06.680 --> 10:15.560 This flexible substance is far superior to the shock absorbers in cars. 10:15.560 --> 10:20.400 Its superiority stems from the fact that it can absorb shockwaves arising at very short 10:20.400 --> 10:28.900 intervals. 10:28.900 --> 10:34.340 This material is able to absorb shock caused by one strike and quickly prepares itself 10:34.340 --> 10:36.100 to meet the next. 10:36.100 --> 10:41.940 In addition, it manages this in the face of a strike rate greater than 10 in a second. 10:41.940 --> 10:46.680 This substance is far superior to any equivalent developed by present-day technology. 10:46.680 --> 10:57.980 The fact that the woodpecker's skull and top beak are joined in such an extraordinary way permits 10:57.980 --> 11:05.520 the area containing the brain to be separated from the beak at every strike and thus gives rise 11:05.520 --> 11:26.300 to a second shock-absorbing mechanism. 11:26.300 --> 11:32.680 At up to five meters in height, the giraffe is one of the largest terrestrial animals in 11:32.680 --> 11:34.740 the world. 11:34.740 --> 11:45.680 In order to survive, it has to pump blood from its heart to the brain, two meters above it. 11:45.680 --> 11:49.640 Its heart must therefore be exceptionally powerful. 11:49.640 --> 11:59.800 Indeed, the giraffe's heart is as powerful as to pump blood at a pressure of 350 tours. 11:59.800 --> 12:05.440 This system, which is normally fatal to human beings, lies in a special compartment equipped 12:05.440 --> 12:15.520 with small blood vessels capable of dealing with this potentially lethal pressure. 12:15.520 --> 12:20.760 That section leading from the head to the heart contains a U system formed by veins running 12:20.760 --> 12:22.720 up and down. 12:22.720 --> 12:29.620 The blood vessels running on the opposite direction neutralize the total pressure, preventing sudden 12:29.620 --> 12:34.880 hemorrhaging caused by internal pressure. 12:34.880 --> 12:42.400 The legs and feet also require special protection in that part, descending downwards from the heart. 12:42.400 --> 12:47.400 The fact that the skin around the giraffe's legs and feet is very thick protects it from 12:47.400 --> 12:52.000 the negative effects of blood pressure. 12:52.000 --> 12:57.640 There are also small valves inside the veins that can halt the strong flow of blood and 12:57.640 --> 13:01.240 thus bring the pressure under control. 13:01.240 --> 13:06.000 The greatest threat, however, arises when the animal lowers its head to the ground in order 13:06.000 --> 13:12.500 to drink. 13:12.500 --> 13:18.180 Under normal conditions, blood pressure, intense enough to cause a brain hemorrhage, would increase 13:18.180 --> 13:20.240 even further in this situation. 13:20.240 --> 13:25.240 But, a flawless precaution has been taken against that danger. 13:25.240 --> 13:31.500 A fluid secreted inside the body enters the equation and reduces the amount of blood pumped 13:31.500 --> 13:34.420 by shrinking the volume of the heart. 13:34.420 --> 13:42.540 There are also special valves in the animal's neck that come into play when it lowers its head. 13:42.540 --> 13:48.260 These valves significantly reduce the flow of blood, thus permitting the giraffe to safely 13:48.260 --> 13:54.180 drink and raise its head again. 13:54.180 --> 13:59.040 The thickness of the giraffe's many layers of veins is another precaution taken in the face 13:59.040 --> 14:23.180 of the threat posed by this high blood pressure. 14:23.180 --> 14:32.200 Is it possible for a Boeing 737 to fly the 2,800 miles between Alaska and Hawaii without being 14:32.200 --> 14:34.860 loaded with fuel? 14:34.860 --> 14:40.720 Let us first consider some of the facts regarding the plane before answering that question. 14:40.720 --> 14:49.500 The maximum amount of fuel you can place in the tank is 14.2 tons, yet the flight from 14:49.500 --> 14:56.320 Alaska to Hawaii requires 30 tons of fuel. 14:56.320 --> 15:01.500 In other words, if that plane takes off with the intention of flying nonstop to Hawaii, it 15:01.500 --> 15:04.500 will plunge into the sea en route. 15:04.500 --> 15:10.140 However, it is possible to fly this distance nonstop. 15:10.140 --> 15:21.500 The Golden Plover is a bird weighing only 200 grams, not a plane weighing many tons. 15:21.500 --> 15:29.560 Every year, the Golden Plover flies the 2,500 miles from Alaska to Hawaii in 88 hours. 15:29.560 --> 15:35.820 In other words, in 3.5 days, flapping its wings the whole time. 15:35.820 --> 15:43.320 Scientists have calculated that the bird needs 82 grams of fat to use as fuel on such a journey. 15:43.320 --> 15:50.140 Yet, the Golden Plover's body contains only 70 grams of fat. 15:50.140 --> 15:56.140 Yet, it never falls into the sea because it has used up all its fuel. 15:56.140 --> 16:04.180 So, what is the secret behind this flawless flight system? 16:04.180 --> 16:09.880 The birds fly in a flock rather than haphazardly on their own. 16:09.880 --> 16:16.140 As they fly, they assume a specific formation and establish a V-shape in the air. 16:16.140 --> 16:20.680 This V-shape lowers air resistance. 16:20.680 --> 16:26.940 This flight arrangement is so effective that the birds save 23% of their energy because 16:26.940 --> 16:29.020 of it. 16:29.020 --> 16:35.580 This means they still have an excess of 6 to 7 grams of fat when they land. 16:35.580 --> 16:39.520 This excess fat is not surplus to requirements, however. 16:39.520 --> 16:45.920 It represents spare fuel in the event that the wind starts blowing from the opposite direction. 16:45.920 --> 16:50.500 We now need to ask the following question in the face of this marvelous state of affairs. 16:50.500 --> 16:56.400 How does the bird know how much fuel it will require for the flight? 16:56.400 --> 17:01.820 How is it able to adjust exactly that amount of fat before setting off? 17:01.820 --> 17:05.360 How does it calculate the distance it will have to fly? 17:05.360 --> 17:07.940 And how much fuel it will consume? 17:07.940 --> 17:15.320 How does the bird know that conditions are better in Hawaii than in Alaska? 17:15.320 --> 17:21.360 It cannot make such flawless calculations, navigate so perfectly, or manage to fly in formation 17:21.360 --> 17:28.020 by itself, and of its own free will. 17:28.020 --> 17:33.560 All these things take place through the inspiration of Allah, who has equipped all living things 17:33.560 --> 17:38.460 with the systems they need. 17:38.460 --> 17:44.460 Indeed, in the Quran, it is referred to birds flying with wings outspread and folded back. 17:44.460 --> 17:54.460 And it is revealed that it is the might of Allah that permits these animals to fly. 17:54.460 --> 18:00.480 If they not looked at the birds above them, with wings outspread and folded back. 18:00.480 --> 18:03.300 Nothing holds them up but the all-merciful. 18:03.300 --> 18:04.700 He sees all things. 18:24.460 --> 18:44.560 They do not act. 18:44.560 --> 19:01.240 during and after the incubation period, in order to take care of their young. 19:05.200 --> 19:08.840 There is something particularly astonishing about this walk. 19:09.640 --> 19:15.260 Although penguins have large bodies, they have very small legs that make walking difficult. 19:18.700 --> 19:22.080 This would normally mean an excessive consumption of energy. 19:25.220 --> 19:29.940 And this would in turn mean death for penguins setting out on a long journey, 19:30.480 --> 19:32.780 with only a limited supply of spare food. 19:32.780 --> 19:39.520 So how is it that penguins manage to walk such a long distance, 19:39.800 --> 19:43.500 despite the state of affairs that happens to represent such a disadvantage? 19:47.720 --> 19:50.300 Penguins walk by swaying right and left. 19:51.480 --> 19:55.260 The reason for this pendulum-like gait is exceedingly important. 19:55.260 --> 20:00.280 They save an enormous amount of energy through that gait. 20:04.660 --> 20:07.020 The penguins' legs are very short. 20:08.680 --> 20:13.120 However, they neutralize this disadvantage by swaying to the side 20:13.120 --> 20:15.980 and thus reduce muscle fatigue to a minimum. 20:18.600 --> 20:22.900 Indeed, at the end of every step, they have stored enough energy for the next one. 20:22.900 --> 20:28.780 For penguins to walk straight forward, rather than from side to side, 20:29.440 --> 20:33.200 they would have to expend twice the energy of an animal of their size. 20:35.300 --> 20:39.040 However, this peculiar gait permits penguins to expend energy 20:39.040 --> 20:42.200 only when they start and stop while walking. 20:43.780 --> 20:47.520 This is the best way for their limited food supply to last them 20:47.520 --> 20:49.560 until they reach the sea. 20:49.560 --> 20:53.940 A gait that permits such saving of energy 20:53.940 --> 20:57.000 is not, of course, something that the penguin discovered on its own. 21:00.920 --> 21:03.360 Moreover, not just one penguin does this, 21:03.760 --> 21:05.520 but all penguins do this. 21:08.060 --> 21:10.660 Penguins know and apply this advantage 21:10.660 --> 21:13.640 that permits them to survive the harsh winter conditions 21:13.640 --> 21:15.940 from the moment they are born. 21:17.560 --> 21:21.380 Any other behavior would have serious and possibly fatal consequences. 21:22.240 --> 21:24.980 It is out of the question for penguins to experiment 21:24.980 --> 21:28.260 with ways to expend the least energy possible 21:28.260 --> 21:29.640 in the freezing cold 21:29.640 --> 21:32.960 before finally deciding on this particular way of walking. 21:32.960 --> 21:36.760 This gait is one of the proofs of Allah's affection 21:36.760 --> 21:38.580 and compassion for living things. 21:42.520 --> 21:46.300 It is Allah who creates penguins and inspires their behavior. 21:49.200 --> 21:52.020 Allah gave all the creatures unique figures 21:52.020 --> 21:55.020 and created them with superior features. 21:55.020 --> 22:13.280 There is a very powerful adhesion system 22:13.280 --> 22:15.240 in the feet of the gecko lizard 22:15.240 --> 22:18.560 that is not found in any other life form. 22:19.720 --> 22:22.100 The gecko's miraculous adhesion system 22:22.100 --> 22:24.120 does not contain any chemicals 22:24.120 --> 22:25.560 in other words 22:25.560 --> 22:27.660 there is no sticky substance 22:27.660 --> 22:29.340 on the soles of its feet 22:29.340 --> 22:30.900 nor do their feet 22:30.900 --> 22:33.200 have any sucker-like structures. 22:35.140 --> 22:36.620 Research has revealed 22:36.620 --> 22:38.800 that the mechanism in the lizard's feet 22:38.800 --> 22:41.700 is an example of sublime engineering. 22:42.520 --> 22:45.380 The fact is that these tiny reptiles' feet 22:45.380 --> 22:47.920 have been specially created for climbing. 22:49.440 --> 22:50.800 A team in the US 22:50.800 --> 22:53.540 established by the environmental physiologist 22:53.540 --> 22:54.980 Keller Ottom 22:54.980 --> 22:56.980 and the bio-engineer Robert Folle 22:56.980 --> 23:00.940 with funding for the Massachusetts IS Robotics 23:00.940 --> 23:03.320 performed a microscopic analysis 23:03.320 --> 23:04.880 of how the gecko climbs. 23:07.980 --> 23:11.660 The results showed that we are dealing with a marvel of creation 23:11.660 --> 23:14.220 as a result of scientific progress. 23:17.100 --> 23:19.100 There is a force in the gecko's feet 23:19.100 --> 23:22.100 that is probably known only to nuclear physicists. 23:22.100 --> 23:26.100 The factor that enables the lizard to cling to walls 23:26.100 --> 23:27.260 and the like 23:27.260 --> 23:30.240 is the large number of microscopic hairs 23:30.240 --> 23:31.860 on the soles of its feet. 23:32.680 --> 23:34.740 There are some 2 million thick hairs 23:34.740 --> 23:36.400 on a single gecko foot. 23:37.060 --> 23:38.720 Each one of these thick hairs 23:38.720 --> 23:41.280 divides like the branches of a tree 23:41.280 --> 23:44.960 splitting up into 1,000 much smaller hairs. 23:45.180 --> 23:48.860 There are approximately 2 billion such tiny hairs 23:48.860 --> 23:50.220 on a gecko's foot. 23:50.760 --> 23:52.780 The number of hairs on a human being's head 23:52.780 --> 23:55.160 is approximately 100,000. 23:55.860 --> 23:57.820 If the number of hairs on our heads 23:57.820 --> 24:00.260 were equivalent to that of the micro hairs 24:00.260 --> 24:01.320 on the gecko's feet 24:01.320 --> 24:03.780 then those hairs would only fit 24:03.780 --> 24:06.340 on an area the size of a football field. 24:07.280 --> 24:09.420 This enormous number of micro hairs 24:09.420 --> 24:10.880 has been specially planned 24:10.880 --> 24:12.020 to permit the gecko 24:12.020 --> 24:13.720 to adhere to surfaces. 24:14.420 --> 24:16.080 Were the hairs any fewer in number 24:16.080 --> 24:18.380 it would be unable to attach itself 24:18.380 --> 24:19.380 to such surfaces. 24:20.000 --> 24:22.380 These micro hairs make contact with the surface 24:22.380 --> 24:24.000 on which the lizard is walking 24:24.000 --> 24:24.840 in such a way 24:24.840 --> 24:27.040 as to leave no empty spaces. 24:27.860 --> 24:29.840 Experts have calculated that a gecko 24:29.840 --> 24:33.360 has a 120 kilo adhesion capacity. 24:34.400 --> 24:37.160 This is equivalent to a 70 kilo human being 24:37.160 --> 24:38.800 sticking to the ceiling 24:38.800 --> 24:41.080 with a force of 90 tons. 24:43.580 --> 24:45.580 If the system in the gecko's feet 24:45.580 --> 24:47.420 were to exist in the human hand 24:47.420 --> 24:49.700 then we would be able to lift 24:49.700 --> 24:52.420 10 trucks weighing 9 tons each 24:52.420 --> 24:54.660 by sticking to the ceiling 24:54.660 --> 24:56.520 by the palm of our hands. 24:59.840 --> 25:01.780 It is obvious that the gecko's feet 25:01.780 --> 25:04.220 have been specially created for adhesion. 25:05.280 --> 25:07.160 The hairs used in this process 25:07.700 --> 25:10.180 are in exactly the right place 25:10.180 --> 25:11.980 and have exact numbers. 25:14.360 --> 25:16.920 Such a perfect structure cannot, of course, 25:17.160 --> 25:18.660 be the work of either nature 25:18.660 --> 25:20.140 or the gecko itself. 25:20.140 --> 25:22.280 There is absolutely no doubt 25:22.280 --> 25:23.140 that this creation 25:23.140 --> 25:24.240 is that of Allah, 25:24.660 --> 25:26.140 creator of all living things 25:26.140 --> 25:26.820 on the earth 25:26.820 --> 25:28.140 and in the sky 25:28.140 --> 25:30.140 and all that lies in between. 25:30.140 --> 25:50.840 There are a number of very different kinds of eye 25:50.840 --> 25:52.320 in the living world. 25:52.880 --> 25:54.000 We are generally familiar 25:54.000 --> 25:55.520 with the camera type eye 25:55.520 --> 25:57.760 unique to vertebrates. 26:00.700 --> 26:02.340 This works on the principle 26:02.340 --> 26:03.600 of light refraction. 26:04.520 --> 26:05.420 Light from the outside 26:05.420 --> 26:07.160 enters by being refracted 26:07.160 --> 26:07.780 by the lens 26:07.780 --> 26:09.260 in the front part of the eye 26:09.260 --> 26:10.600 by way of which 26:10.600 --> 26:11.480 it is focused 26:11.480 --> 26:12.920 on the posterior part. 26:12.920 --> 26:16.720 The eyes of some other living things, 26:16.840 --> 26:17.040 however, 26:17.260 --> 26:18.260 function very differently. 26:21.720 --> 26:22.700 One of these 26:22.700 --> 26:23.920 is the lobster eye. 26:25.080 --> 26:26.540 This works on the principle 26:26.540 --> 26:27.260 of reflection 26:27.260 --> 26:28.740 rather than refraction. 26:29.880 --> 26:31.040 The noteworthy feature 26:31.040 --> 26:32.200 of the lobster eye 26:32.200 --> 26:33.740 is that the surface 26:33.740 --> 26:34.460 is made up 26:34.460 --> 26:36.100 of a large number of squares. 26:37.000 --> 26:38.400 These are highly regular 26:38.400 --> 26:39.500 as we can see. 26:41.060 --> 26:42.540 These regular squares 26:42.540 --> 26:44.140 on the lobster's eye 26:44.140 --> 26:45.920 are all in fact 26:45.920 --> 26:47.120 the front surface 26:47.120 --> 26:48.200 of square prisms. 26:49.420 --> 26:50.000 This structure 26:50.000 --> 26:50.740 may be compared 26:50.740 --> 26:51.740 to a honeycomb. 26:52.640 --> 26:53.240 When you look 26:53.240 --> 26:54.160 at a honeycomb, 26:54.480 --> 26:55.740 you first see only 26:55.740 --> 26:57.520 a hexagonal surface. 26:58.440 --> 26:58.800 However, 26:59.300 --> 27:00.620 these hexagonal surfaces 27:00.620 --> 27:01.620 are the surfaces 27:01.620 --> 27:02.540 of prisms 27:02.540 --> 27:04.060 extending towards 27:04.060 --> 27:04.860 the interior 27:04.860 --> 27:05.660 of the comb. 27:06.180 --> 27:06.600 What makes 27:06.600 --> 27:07.840 the lobster's eye 27:07.840 --> 27:08.360 different 27:08.360 --> 27:09.560 is that the shape 27:09.560 --> 27:10.160 is square 27:10.160 --> 27:11.560 instead of hexagonal. 27:11.900 --> 27:12.400 Even more 27:12.400 --> 27:13.160 interestingly, 27:13.860 --> 27:14.940 the interior surfaces 27:14.940 --> 27:16.080 of each of these 27:16.080 --> 27:16.960 square prisms 27:16.960 --> 27:18.400 have a mirror-like 27:18.400 --> 27:18.980 structure. 27:20.200 --> 27:21.560 These mirror-like surfaces 27:21.560 --> 27:22.360 reflect light 27:22.360 --> 27:23.960 in a very powerful manner. 27:25.820 --> 27:26.320 These prisms 27:26.320 --> 27:27.000 are placed 27:27.000 --> 27:28.020 with an angle 27:28.020 --> 27:28.880 to flawlessly 27:28.880 --> 27:29.780 focus light 27:29.780 --> 27:31.880 on one single point. 27:31.880 --> 27:38.560 It is clear 27:38.560 --> 27:39.680 that the structure 27:39.680 --> 27:40.580 here represents 27:40.580 --> 27:41.380 a serious 27:41.380 --> 27:42.080 difficulty 27:42.080 --> 27:42.860 for the theory 27:42.860 --> 27:43.660 of evolution. 27:44.340 --> 27:45.780 First and foremost, 27:46.320 --> 27:46.700 the eye 27:46.700 --> 27:47.840 possesses the feature 27:47.840 --> 27:48.660 known as 27:48.660 --> 27:50.200 irreducible complexity. 27:51.000 --> 27:51.440 Were it not 27:51.440 --> 27:52.640 for the square cells 27:52.640 --> 27:53.380 in the front 27:53.380 --> 27:54.500 part of the eye, 27:54.960 --> 27:55.620 or if these were 27:55.620 --> 27:56.860 unable to reflect light, 27:57.560 --> 27:58.140 or if there were 27:58.140 --> 27:59.460 no retinal layer 27:59.460 --> 28:00.160 in the back 28:00.160 --> 28:00.800 of the eye, 28:01.220 --> 28:01.920 the eye would serve 28:01.920 --> 28:03.100 no purpose at all. 28:03.940 --> 28:04.720 For that reason, 28:04.960 --> 28:06.140 it cannot be suggested 28:06.140 --> 28:07.280 that the lobster eye 28:07.280 --> 28:08.660 developed in stages. 28:09.900 --> 28:10.560 To suggest 28:10.560 --> 28:12.080 that such a perfect structure 28:12.080 --> 28:12.720 came about 28:12.720 --> 28:13.920 by coincidences 28:13.920 --> 28:15.920 is totally irrational. 28:18.720 --> 28:20.280 The gradual loss 28:20.280 --> 28:21.060 of the lens 28:21.060 --> 28:22.840 in a crustacean's eye 28:22.840 --> 28:23.660 and the emergence 28:23.660 --> 28:25.200 of mirrored surfaces 28:25.200 --> 28:26.540 where the lens 28:26.540 --> 28:27.600 had once been 28:27.600 --> 28:28.500 would leave 28:28.500 --> 28:29.420 the animal deprived 28:29.420 --> 28:29.980 of sight 28:29.980 --> 28:30.540 right from 28:30.540 --> 28:31.920 the very outset. 28:34.560 --> 28:35.580 It would, 28:35.860 --> 28:36.280 therefore, 28:36.920 --> 28:37.880 be eliminated 28:37.880 --> 28:39.600 through natural selection. 28:40.860 --> 28:41.300 Obviously, 28:41.300 --> 28:42.700 both eye structures 28:42.700 --> 28:43.520 have been structured 28:43.520 --> 28:44.260 according to 28:44.260 --> 28:45.620 two very different 28:45.620 --> 28:46.180 blueprints 28:46.180 --> 28:47.640 and individually 28:47.640 --> 28:48.340 created. 28:49.600 --> 28:50.100 There is such 28:50.100 --> 28:50.820 an immaculate 28:50.820 --> 28:51.780 geometric order 28:51.780 --> 28:52.740 in these eyes 28:52.740 --> 28:54.960 that it is ridiculous 28:54.960 --> 28:55.860 to even consider 28:55.860 --> 28:56.620 the possibility 28:56.620 --> 28:57.520 of chance. 28:59.720 --> 29:01.200 Like all other 29:01.200 --> 29:02.720 miracles of creation, 29:03.520 --> 29:04.300 the lobster eye 29:04.300 --> 29:05.660 shows the infinite 29:05.660 --> 29:06.520 and flawless 29:06.520 --> 29:07.660 creative ability 29:07.660 --> 29:09.180 of the creator. 29:09.180 --> 29:13.880 this is a manifestation 29:13.880 --> 29:15.000 of the infinite 29:15.000 --> 29:15.560 knowledge, 29:15.880 --> 29:16.160 might 29:16.160 --> 29:17.200 and intelligence 29:17.200 --> 29:17.920 of Allah. 29:25.020 --> 29:26.080 Wherever we look 29:26.080 --> 29:26.880 in the living world 29:26.880 --> 29:27.580 we encounter 29:27.580 --> 29:28.480 such miracles 29:28.480 --> 29:29.300 of creation. 29:29.300 --> 29:31.040 water 29:31.040 --> 29:31.720 techniques 29:31.720 --> 29:48.180 and 29:48.180 --> 29:49.140 capture 29:49.140 --> 29:49.540 the 29:49.540 --> 29:50.120 of all 29:50.620 --> 29:52.100 the 29:52.560 --> 29:53.020 the 29:53.020 --> 29:53.400 the 29:53.400 --> 29:54.120 the 29:54.120 --> 29:54.360 the 29:54.360 --> 29:54.680 that 29:56.180 --> 29:56.260 完了 29:56.440 --> 29:56.680 and 29:56.680 --> 29:58.360 puts 29:58.360 --> 30:11.920 One species of parrot that lives in South America manages to feed on some seeds, even 30:11.920 --> 30:14.800 though they are highly poisonous. 30:14.800 --> 30:19.480 The behavior of this parrot is quite amazing. 30:19.480 --> 30:24.540 While other living things are unable to even approach these seeds, why is it that nothing 30:24.540 --> 30:30.660 happens to these birds that constantly eat them? 30:30.660 --> 30:35.420 Immediately after eating these seeds, which are actually highly nutritious, these parrots 30:35.420 --> 30:42.020 known as macaws fly off to a cliff face. 30:42.020 --> 30:48.440 When they arrive they break off a few fragments of rock with clay and swallow them. 30:48.440 --> 30:52.820 This is no random activity. 30:52.820 --> 30:57.920 The characteristic of these rock fragments is that they absorb the toxins inside the 30:57.920 --> 30:59.420 seeds. 30:59.420 --> 31:07.040 This enables the birds to digest the seeds without the slightest discomfort. 31:07.040 --> 31:12.280 But how do these birds come by the medical knowledge with which to determine the poisonous 31:12.280 --> 31:14.780 effects of these seeds? 31:14.780 --> 31:20.960 How do they know how to neutralize those effects? 31:20.960 --> 31:26.060 They have been taught enough pharmacology to know that these rocks contain a substance 31:26.060 --> 31:31.560 that will neutralize the toxins in the seeds. 31:31.560 --> 31:35.680 No such thing is possible, of course. 31:35.680 --> 31:42.840 A human being cannot tell if seeds are poisonous just by looking at them. 31:42.840 --> 31:46.160 How can they know how to neutralize the toxins? 31:46.160 --> 31:54.900 They will either have to have received special training or else to have asked someone who knows. 31:54.900 --> 32:01.160 That being the case, it is impossible to say that a bird devoid of any reason or consciousness 32:01.160 --> 32:08.120 could have discovered such a thing as a result of lengthy chemical analysis and investigations. 32:08.120 --> 32:13.760 It is impossible for macaws to have acquired the knowledge that human beings can only attain 32:13.760 --> 32:17.160 after years of special training by chance. 32:17.160 --> 32:26.120 It is Allah, the flawless creator of all things, who taught this to the macaws. 32:26.120 --> 32:31.820 Reflection on such examples is sufficient to show that the behavior of living things cannot 32:31.820 --> 32:38.560 be the result of chance. 32:38.560 --> 32:46.500 Allah inspires the knowledge to all living things. 32:46.500 --> 32:53.400 None of the creatures are left aimlessly to coincidences. 32:53.400 --> 32:59.000 In one of the verses of the Quran it is revealed that all living things are under the absolute 32:59.000 --> 33:05.320 control and dominion of Allah. 33:05.320 --> 33:10.420 I have put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord. 33:10.420 --> 33:14.460 There is no creature he does not hold by the forelock. 33:14.460 --> 33:30.660 My Lord is on a straight path. 33:30.660 --> 33:37.740 There is a fallacy that certain people are constantly trying to indoctrinate people with. 33:37.740 --> 33:41.740 The fallacy that living things have evolved. 33:41.740 --> 33:47.480 Just seeing living things, each of which has its own superior engineering structure, will 33:47.480 --> 33:55.180 enable you to grasp the invalidity of the theory of evolution, which is based solely on coincidences. 33:55.180 --> 33:59.820 But what good will that do to you? 33:59.820 --> 34:06.480 Seeing the invalidity of the theory of evolution will show you how irrational and hollow all efforts 34:06.480 --> 34:13.700 to deny creation really are, and how they can never bear fruit. 34:13.700 --> 34:19.500 The second thing you will gain from discovering how things are created around you is that you 34:19.500 --> 34:23.400 will begin to delight in all the beauties presented to you. 34:23.400 --> 34:32.140 Your life will beautify and have meaning as you see the perfection in things around you. 34:32.140 --> 34:37.360 The acquisition of this perspective, the
