In a fertilized egg, the yoke supplies the nutrients and the albumin or white supplies the water necessary for the embryo’s development. The chalazae, the two twisted membranous strips joining the yolk to the ends of the shell, help maintain the embryo’s orientation within the egg. If even one of these is separated from the egg, the egg cannot remain a place for nourishing a chick. Now, is it that these various components came together merely by chance, as atheists might argue? ‘Chance’ most definitely cannot explain the simultaneous presence of these things found in the egg and precisely the necessary and appropriate proportions. Think of the human brain. There are around 1000 million nerve cells in it. From every cell, very fine fibres spread out through the body. These fibres are characterised by a system of receiving messages and sending commands that function at the speed of around 70 miles an hour. What made this possible?
