Again, it is our purpose to demonstrate to every sensible reader that in all these cases the structural details could not have been possible without pre-design and without the complete scientific know-how of a designer who conceived them.

And Allah brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers while you knew nothing, and gave you ears and eyes and hearts, that you might be grateful. '.

Many verses of the Quran strongly support this contention. For instance, مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأى* 53:12 493
