"For thou didst form my inward parts: thou didst cover me in my mother's womb.  I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: wonderful are thy works;  and that my soul knoweth right well.  My frame was not hidden from thee, when I was  made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.  Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; and in thy book they were all written, even the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was none of them.  How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!        Psalm 139:13-17

THE MIRACULOUS HUMAN BODY - GOD CALLS IT THE TEMPLE!

Have you ever thought about how miraculous the body is that God has given you?

Let's consider some of its purposeful functions and design.

DID YOU KNOW the human body is comprised of the following?

  • 11 organ systems, 4 basic body tissues, dozens of specialized different cells, 30 to 100 trillion cells
  • Approximately 100 million red blood cells, several hundred million nerve cells, and the human body is a highly organized and coordinated system (each system has its own very specific function)
  • The pulpy tissue of the spleen, called areolae, filters the blood to remove bad cells, converts hemoglobin to bilirubin and returns  iron from  destroyed cells back to the blood.
  • The skin covers about 22 ft squared.  There are 2 parts to the skin
  • There are atleast 6 functions of the skin - regulates body temperature, provides a protective barrier for underlying tissues, has the sensation to touch with abundant nerve endings to detect stimuli related to temperature, touch, pressure, and pain.
  • The human temple is constructed according to levels of organization that increase in size and complexity.  Cells form the basic structural and functional units of life; they are the smallest living parts of our bodies. 
  • The most complex level is the systems level. 
  • Anatomical evidence of design can be seen in every level from the simplest to the most complex levels of organization.

  • There are approximately 50 TRILLION cells estimated to make up  the human body
  • There are about 4,000 enzymes in EACH cell of your body
  • That only some of the digestion takes place in the stomach, and certain foods are digested and assimilated in other parts of the digestion system
  • Foods, as well as chemicals, that are taken into the human body can impact your health in various and even detrimental ways
  • Enzyme driven chemical reactions take place at the rate of several million  "events" per second in the cells and its job (one enzyme is what we are talking about here) is to change a million substances into some other form for energy in each cell
  • The body is designed so that minerals and trace elements that play key roles in body activities have a backup reserve in case of emergency
  • The liver, spleen,and bone marrow stores certain elements if extra is needed and the liver stores a year's supply of  vitamin B12 in case of temporary deficiency
  • Bones are actually living protein networks to which minerals attach themselves.  There are at least two dozen elements in bones that have no known function in the human body, as well as a handfull of nonessential elements.
  • There are atleast 41 elements in most human bodies, of which only 21 are known to be essential.  (except  God put it all there for a reason.  Man just hasn't discovered it all yet)
