Many people have only limited information about what goes on inside their own bodies. Until they fall ill and require treatment, they remain unaware of how much has been planned in advance on their behalf. Until they feel ill one day, they take no interest in how their bodies actually work.

The resulting realization that life was designed by an intelligence is a shock to us in the twentieth century, who have gotten used to thinking of life as the result of simple natural laws. — Michael Behe |
The cell membrane is just one of the countless details created for human life to continue. Everyone needs the tireless working of this thin layer of fat, because no human being can determine and perform a single one of the functions that the cell membrane carries out with such expertise. Nobody can meet the needs of 100 trillion cells at the same time, and determine which substances should enter or leave them, at what time, and in what quantities. Allah has given life to each cell membrane, creating it around every cell, leaving individuals still utterly unaware of its importance.
If the cell membrane were not created as it is, then the cell could not exist, and neither could life itself. How can you expect coincidence to fulfill these functions in a flawless manner, for a whole lifetime, in a more professional manner than any biologist or chemist can do? Of course, this is quite illogical. Therefore, if Darwinists expect coincidence to perform miracles, they should ask themselves the following questions—relying solely on reason and leaving aside all prejudice, social pressures, and fears of being in error:
Can fat and protein cells devoid of consciousness, intellect and memory make selections? Can they distinguish if a substance is useful or harmful? Can they know how to make use of that substance? If it's of no use, can they learn to eliminate that substance without damaging themselves? Can they act together in a coordinated and purposeful manner? Can they assist one another by communicating, planning and taking precautions?
One cannot expect any of this from the cell membrane. Nobody can deny its perfection of intellect and Creation. No matter how much they wish to ignore the facts and the proofs of the existence of Allah, they will live their entire lives surrounded by His might, wisdom and artistry of Allah in every cell in their bodies.
In the Qur'an, Allah reveals:
"It is He Who created you. Yet among you are those who disbelieve and those who believe. Allah sees what you do. He created the heavens and the Earth with truth and formed you, giving you the best of forms. And He is your final destination." (Surat at-Taghabun, 2-3)
They said "Glory be to You!
We have no knowledge except what You have taught us.
You are the All-Knowing, the All-Wise."
(Qur'an, 2: 32)
