One of the biggest things I learned in medical school was simply to be in awe of the design of the human body. I remember thinking throughout my entire gross anatomy course how amazing it is that our bodies are so intricately designed to work so beautifully. I remember specifically dissecting the heart and holding it in my hands, struck by the glory of God's intentional design in our bodies. Add to this the biochemical events that take place on a millisecond and nanometer level to keep each and every cell in our bodies from spontaneously disintegrating and you have a true masterpiece.
Even greater is the awe of developmental biology. The infinite number of events that must take place to produce a healthy, living human are astounding - a true reason to be thankful for each and every time it happens. And to praise God. I honestly do not understand how any person could look at the intricacies of the fully developed body and the delicate process of development and not be convinced that only a Creator with purposeful intelligent design could create such a beautiful thing.
A few thoughts about this -
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
-Psalm 139:13-14
For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible...all things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
-Colossians 1:16-17
-Psalm 139:13-14
For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible...all things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
-Colossians 1:16-17
My only response to this is to thank God for providing such life.
