Amazing Engineering

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  Psalm 139:13-14

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.  Revelation 4:11

Building a Human Body from Greg Brewer, Ph.D. printed in Acts & Facts January/February edition 2023:

·         Design basics of life, namely DNA to mRNA to protein, lipid membrane compartments, and basic components: 5 kinds of nucleic acids, 20 kinds of amino acids, a variety of 5 and 6 carbon carbohydrates and oxidation/reduction; chemical energy sources, just for starters.

·         Design their arrangement for structural support, catalytic activity, information, modulation, motor functions, and signaling.

·         Assemble materials in working order –

·         Provide precisely applied energy to assemble these intricate biochemical materials into functional systems.

·         Create an environment for readily available materials.

·         Design repair systems.

·         Design systems in every cell for replacement of damaged parts.

·         Design sensory systems that detect toxic environments to avoid.

·         Design sensory systems in the tongue and nose to seek energy sources and continued supply of nutrients for growth.

·         Design and implement systems for environmental tracking of nutrients, hormones, sunshine, dangers, and interpersonal interactions with other people.

Several of these ten items have more detailed information in Dr. Brewer’s article.

“Clearly, all along the way, this gracious, loving God is with us. No human life is random or alone. No human life was created without purpose. Not one human life is without destiny. All human lives, acknowledged or not, are related to God—from beginning, to end, throughout eternity. Therefore, in this world, all human lives are to be respected and protected, for their lives are signs of God’s sovereignty.”

Prayer: Dear Father in Heaven, how carefully you made us, so we would produce and remain as humans on earth through many, many generations. We worship you with respect, admiration and amazement at the human life you created.  Amen
