The Universe ‘Speaks’ About God

Studying the life of termites reveals numerous amazing facts. Take just one example: termites eat wood. After stone, wood is possibly the most indigestible thing. But eating wood is no difficult task for termites. For this purpose, they have special jaws that, besides working as a saw, also grind. What accounts for this phenomenon? Now, no matter how much one grinds wood, it remains wood, and going inside the stomach, one might expect that it would only create indigestion instead of fulfilling the need for food. Then what is it that assists termites here? For this purpose, tiny, microscopic insects are present in the termites’ entrails. These insects, engaging in a particular process on the swallowed-up wood, produce such changes that it becomes digestible and a part of the termites’ body. Now, who has arranged for this fantastic feature? The only sensible explanation is that this feature reflects a Creator’s planning and loving care. Let us take another example: A hen’s egg. Every such egg contains several unique features, each so important that if even one is absent, the egg cannot form. Let us understand this better. The shell or outer hard covering of the egg comprises calcium, magnesium carbonate and calcium phosphate. It contains thousands of pores that allow carbon dioxide and moisture to escape and air to enter. The shell gives shape to the egg and holds the inner contents. The shell is covered by a cuticle membrane or bloom, which acts as a protective covering, blocking the pores and preventing moisture loss and bacterial contamination.
