The writer of the bible book of Psalms and former King of Israel, David is one of my favorite writers (His son King Solomon is by far my favourite!) king David must have had some insight somehow about the formation of the embryo to have penned these words:" âYour eyes saw even the embryo of me, and in your book all its parts were down in writing, as regards the days when they were formed and there was not yet one among them.â (Psalm 139:16) Your first cell contained the complete plan for your entire body. This plan guided your development during your nine months in the womb before birth and then through more than two decades of growth to adulthood. During this time, your body passed through many stages, all directed by the information programmed into that original cell. David had no knowledge of cells and genes, being without even a microscope. But he correctly discerned that the development of his own body attested to advance planning. David may have had some knowledge of how embryos develop, so he could reason that each step must take place according to a preexisting design and timetable. In poetic language, he described this design as being âdown in writingâ in Godâs âbook.â Today, it is known that characteristics you inherited from your parents and forebearsâsuch as your height, facial features, eye and hair color, and thousands of other traitsâwere determined by your genes. Each of your cells contains tens of thousands of genes, and each gene is part of a long chain made of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Building instructions for your body are âwrittenâ in the chemical structure of your personal DNA. Every time your cells divideâto make new cells or to replace old cellsâyour DNA passes those instructions on, thereby keeping you alive and maintaining your basic appearance. What an outstanding example of the power and wisdom of our heavenly Maker!" (Excerpts from the Watchtower magazine 2007/06/15 on jw.org #word #evolutionorcreation #youdecide #creatororchance I always wonder how even the most simplest creations or inventions were designed by someone, yet we were thought that the body in all its awe-inspiring makeup was formed by chance. đł #foodforthought
