THE AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING NON STOP IN OUR BODY

Breathing is one of the acts that you unconsciously perform throughout the day. Many processes take place during this action, in which the nose, windpipe and lungs are involved. In reality, breathing means feeding oxygen to your body cells. Cells cannot survive unless they are provided with oxygen. This is why you can hold your breath for only a brief time. If this duration is lengthened, your cells die, which results in the death of your body.The air you breathe is first cleaned in your nose. Your nose, which carries out air conditioning, is lined with hairs that function like a filter. These hairs process the polluted or cool air to make it agreeable to the lungs. It is thanks to these hairs that the air we take in is filtered, cleaned, humidified, warmed and purified of bacteria. Indeed, these tiny hairs protect our bodies against about 20 billion particles of foreign matter every day. Twenty billion is about 3 times the world population. It is quite a thorough process that the nose knows and by which it distinguishes that many particles of foreign matter. Twenty billion particles of foreign matter cannot possibly be recognised and hindered from passing through the nose by chance. This clearly reveals the greatness of Allah's power of creation. Some people, however, claim that this happens by chance, even though they are well aware of the truth. Such people, who believe in the theory of evolution, maintain that all living beings, including everything what we have dealt with so far in this book, came into existence spontaneously and as a result of random occurrences sometime in the past. Do you wonder why they do so? They claim so in order to deny Allah's existence. And to do that they think there is only one way, which is to claim that everything occurs by chance. However, one merely has to give it a little thought to grasp how senseless this claim is. Now let's take the system in the nose as an example to refute this claim. The air conditioning system in the nose is another perfect part of the human body. Surely such a perfectly running system could not have come into existence as a result of coincidences. Making a comparison may help us to comprehend this impossibility better. Consider an air conditioner, which controls the temperature so as to protect you from heat in the summer and to warm you up in the winter, and which is remote-controlled. Could such a system have come into existence by chance? What would happen if all of its parts were disassembled and left in that condition? Would they come together in time and turn into a complete air conditioner on their own? Certainly not. For any machinery to come into being, some intelligent person should work on it. This is quite incontrovertible. Let alone machinery, even in a jigsaw puzzle somebody has to reassemble the pieces correctly in order to get the picture. Your nose, which functions as an air conditioner, is composed of numerous components too and possesses a much more perfect system than any air conditioner in the world. Just as an air conditioner cannot come into being by chance, neither can a nose, which is even more advanced. This fact reveals to us that this organ, which is known as "the best air conditioning system in the world", is created by our Lord. Allah stresses His attribute of Creator in the following verse:He is Allah—the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surat al-Hashr: 24)
