00:00.000 --> 00:02.500
You slowly reach out your hand toward a fly.

00:02.500 --> 00:06.000
In your opinion, a slow, controlled, almost mechanical movement.

00:06.000 --> 00:08.000
But suddenly there are no flies.

00:08.000 --> 00:12.000
It has taken off, changed course, and reached a safe distance.

00:12.000 --> 00:13.000
So what happened?

00:13.000 --> 00:18.000
Before you even realized you'd moved, that fly had already spotted you.

00:18.000 --> 00:20.000
It weighs almost nothing.

00:20.000 --> 00:25.000
Its brain is smaller than a grain of rice, and its lifespan is 28 days.

00:25.000 --> 00:28.000
But this tiny creature always leaves you behind.

00:28.000 --> 00:32.000
Because that fly doesn't see the world the way you do.

00:32.000 --> 00:33.000
You see an image.

00:33.000 --> 00:35.000
He sees a hazard map.

00:35.000 --> 00:41.000
The compound eye, made up of thousands of tiny lenses, does more than just collect light.

00:41.000 --> 00:44.000
Each lens performs its own calculation.

00:44.000 --> 00:48.000
The object's speed, direction, and most importantly, whether it is approaching.

00:48.000 --> 00:51.000
The fly isn't interested in objects that are moving away.

00:51.000 --> 00:56.000
But the moment a hand approaches, the nervous system immediately sounds the alarm.

00:56.000 --> 01:00.000
When scientists examined this system, they discovered something surprising.

01:00.000 --> 01:06.000
They discovered specialized neurons in the fly's visual cortex that respond only to approaching threats.

01:06.000 --> 01:10.000
Only to what is approaching, and nothing else.

01:10.000 --> 01:15.000
When these neurons are stimulated, the signal is transmitted via the body's fastest pathway,

01:15.000 --> 01:19.000
from the eye to the brain in a matter of milliseconds.

01:19.000 --> 01:22.000
And this is where reason fails.

01:22.000 --> 01:24.000
The system doesn't just detect danger.

01:24.000 --> 01:27.000
It calculates where the danger is coming from.

01:27.000 --> 01:31.000
It determines which direction the shadow is growing from,

01:31.000 --> 01:35.000
and the fly takes off in the exact opposite direction of the threat.

01:35.000 --> 01:41.000
First, the legs push off, and immediately afterward the wings kick in.

01:41.000 --> 01:45.000
The difference between the two is a matter of a few milliseconds.

01:45.000 --> 01:49.000
A one millisecond error is the difference between survival and death.

01:49.000 --> 01:52.000
And this system never makes a mistake.

01:52.000 --> 01:54.000
Now ask yourself this.

01:54.000 --> 01:57.000
Could a blind process do this?

01:57.000 --> 02:02.000
Could unconscious atoms construct any stage of such a magnificent, complex system?

02:02.000 --> 02:06.000
Could they randomly adjust the timing down to the millisecond?

02:06.000 --> 02:08.000
No, absolutely not.

02:08.000 --> 02:12.000
Chance cannot produce such precise coordination.

02:12.000 --> 02:15.000
Blind nature cannot establish such a delicate balance.

02:15.000 --> 02:20.000
This system, operating within milliseconds, shows us this.

02:20.000 --> 02:23.000
Life is not the product of chance.

02:23.000 --> 02:27.000
It is the product of measure, wisdom, and flawless creation.

02:27.000 --> 02:31.000
Our Lord reminds us of this truth in a verse of the Qur'an.

02:31.000 --> 02:38.000
Allah is not ashamed to make an example of a gnat, or of an even smaller thing.

02:38.000 --> 02:43.000
As for those who have iman, they know it is the truth from their Lord.

02:43.000 --> 02:46.000
But as for those who are kafir, they say,

02:46.000 --> 02:49.000
What does Allah mean by this example?

02:49.000 --> 02:52.000
He misguides many by it, and guides many by it.

02:52.000 --> 02:55.000
But He only misguides the deviators.

02:55.000 --> 02:58.540
He misguides everybody clairusing for a ogni over Günther

02:58.540 --> 03:01.020

03:07.660 --> 03:13.920
Is the law of this and this class of 48?

03:13.920 --> 03:15.840
I'm also the only one man who is telling us

03:15.840 --> 03:17.640
about this and this class of 48?

03:17.640 --> 03:19.920
We are the only one who is sot watering אז
