 We fall sick many times throughout our lives. We grow weak, fall in bed, develop a fever, but recover in a few days. What takes place in our bodies during sickness? When the events of "sickness" and "recovering" take place, our bodies become a battleground in which a bitter struggle is taking place. The cause of our illness is, most of the time, the penetration of some foreign "organisms" in our body. These tiny monsters are effective enough to cause our death in a week if our body did not have a mechanism to mount a defense against this invasion. The body however has a mechanism that combats them. Known as the "immune system", this mechanism is the most disciplined, most complex and successful army of the world. Our immune system, which is comprised of infantrymen, battleships, intelligence units and even an "information technology" center that keep a record of the enemies, fights with the microbes throughout our lives. This system proves that the human body is the outcome of a unique design that has been planned with a great wisdom and skill. In other words, the human body is the evidence of a flawless creation, which is the peerless creation of Allah. On the other hand, the theory of evolution that seeks to explain life with coincidences is desperate in the face of this extraordinary creation in the immune system. ABOUT THE AUTHOR The author, who writes under the pen-name Harun Yahya, was born in Ankara in 1956. He studied arts at Istanbul's Mimar Sinan University, and philosophy at Istanbul University. Since the 1980s, the author has published many books on political, faith-related and scientific issues. His main focus has been the refutation of Darwinism and materialism, two modern myths presented under a scientific guise. Harun Yahya's books appeal to all kinds of readers, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, regardless of their age, race, or nationality, for they focus on one objective: to broaden the readers' perspective by encouraging them to think about a number of critical issues, such as the existence of Allah and His unity, and to display the decrepit foundations and perverted works of godless systems.
