Harun Yahya lies about human let-down reflex.

In the issue of the Evolution of Whales I did a Google and I ended up on Harun Yahya and in that around 1/2 way down in the Dolphins it says,

"Mammals do not need this spraying system to nurse their young. However, such a method is essential in water. Could the mother dolphin herself think up and develop such a system? Could it be possible that she felt the necessity for such a system and supplemented her milk glands with muscles? As you can imagine, this is implausible! As we stressed earlier, Allah created the body of the mother dolphin in a manner that is extraordinarily suitable for the baby dolphin's needs. "

Ignoring the fact that dolphins are marine mammals but from what others say on this they clearly state that there is a let-down reflex or the milk ejection reflex in human females (which are also mammals).

As an example, here explains it as follows,

"When you breast-feed, your baby's sucking stimulates nerves in your nipple. These nerves carry a message to your brain, and a hormone, called oxytocin, is released. Oxytocin flows through your bloodstream to your breasts, where it causes tiny muscle cells around your milk glands to squeeze milk out of the glands and into the milk ducts. This is known as the let-down reflex or the milk ejection reflex. "

It happens in Cows, Whales, Hippos, Humans, and most other mammals I know of. It is absolutely essential for a correct milk supply irrespective if you are land or sea based mammal.

I say that Harun Yahya is lying out right on this as it is completely unreasonable to expect that someone writing a book for children would not have come across any material on basic child development and breastfeeding and the let-down reflex is a well documented phenomena.

Is this modern Muslim thinking or is Harun Yahya just wrong ?
