In a little pool of water there may be hundreds, even thousands of mosquito larvae.

One of the basic needs of the constantly feeding larva is breathing. But how is it that the larva is able not only to breathe but also eat while it is suspended upside-down?

Human beings make use of various special devices for breathing underwater (oxygen cylinders, snorkels, air pumps, etc.). Mosquito larvae, on the other hand, are naturally equipped with diving equipment similar to these. When they are head-down in the water, they breathe through respiratory tubes located on their hind bodies. Some larvae stay parallel to the water and use three respiration holes on the stomach. These systems resemble the snorkels and air pumps used by divers.

These features may seem like mere biological details to us, but actually they reveal an important fact. If such an intelligent design exists, there must be a Creator with a superior intelligence. This Supreme Creator, the Lord of the universe, is God, the judge, the educator and the planner of all the worlds from the smallest to the greatest.

God shows evidence of His existence to us by making His art manifest in all the life forms He has created. This art is plain to see everywhere, from the complex structure of the human brain to the infinity of space, from the digestive system of the mosquito to the perfection of the human body and microscopic creatures.

In the 40th verse of Surah Fatir in the Qur'an, God says the following:

Say: "Have you thought about your partner deities, those you call upon besides God? Show me what they have created of the Earth; or do they have a partnership in the heavens?" Have We given them a Book whose Clear Signs they follow? No indeed! The wrongdoers promise each other nothing but delusion. (Qur'an, 35:40)
