Evolution versus The Human Body (Part 4 of 4)

If you are wrestling with whether or not you're the creation of a loving Creator or the accident of bacteria that evolutionists say came into existence all by itself, then may I suggest that you read the previous three posts and wrap up with this one?

The human body consists of about 75-100 trillion cells, and each cell has about 10,000 times as many molecules as the Milky Way has stars. Three hundred million cells die and are replaced in the human body every minute. All of the DNA in an adult human body could fit inside one ice cube, but if unwound, stretched out and joined end to end, it would reach from the earth to the sun and back again more than 400 times. Scientists estimate that they could fill a 1,000-volume encyclopedia with the coded instructions in the DNA of a single human cell if the instructions could be translated to English.

The epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, sheds itself at a rate of about a million cells every 40 minutes. Humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour, about 1.5 pounds a year, and grow all new outer skin cells about every 27 days, almost 1.000 new skins a lifetime. The skin is only about as deep as the tip of a ballpoint pen but the sense of touch is more refined than any device ever created. A human can detect the wing of a bee falling on their cheek from a height of one centimeter. There are 45 miles of nerves in the skin of a human being. When we touch something, we send a message to our brain at 125 mph. In one square inch of skin we have nine feet of blood vessels, 600 pain sensors, four yards of nerve fibers, 1300 nerve cells, 9000 nerve endings, 36 heat sensors, 75 pressure sensors, 650 sweat glands, 60,000 pigment cells, 100 sweat glands, 3 million cells, and an average of 32 million bacteria.

The last four blogs have made it abundantly clear that we [humans] are wonderfully made. With the information we now know about the human body, it would seem comical to the highest degree, that one would propose humans are the product of non-living matter that [somehow] just randomly came to be alive and then evolved into the magnificant beings we are today. From non-life to a simple single cell bacteria to someone who writes and reads blogs and makes and uses computers.

To me, it screams "NOT A CHANCE!"
