Chapter One 23 Fourth Preliminary Point Reflection upon all of the creations of Almighty God establishes the principle that the wonders and marvels which He has bestowed upon His creations are of two types.

These are facts which are discovered through a cursory glance. The others are those facts which demand deeper insight—for instance, the structure of an eye, through which both eyes work in unison with each other as one organ and ena- ble one to see everything whether large or small, and the structure of ears through which they can hear different sounds and differentiate between them.

Rather, specialists in the physical and biological sciences have discovered these truths after extensive research and deep deliberation spanning over a lengthy period of time. And still, there are hundreds of other undiscovered subtleties and verities of the human body which the mind of no scientist and researcher has yet been able to comprehend. Undoubtedly, the paramount objective of these subtleties and ver- ities is to lead man to acknowledge the perfect powers of the All-Wise God who possesses absolute wisdom and has worked such wonders and marvels into the creation of man. However, some naive person might object here: ‘Why has God made something—the purpose of which is the recognition of God—so subtle and elusive that its understanding requires the exercise of reflection and observation over a long period of time, and even then, there is no guarantee that man would fathom all the secrets of divine wisdom in their entirety; and because of this very difficulty, man has not yet fathomed even a drop out of the whole ocean? All of these wonders and marvels should have been made obvi- ous to fulfil the purpose for which the All-Wise God had invested them in the human body. ’ So, the reply to this objection—and others like it that may arise in
