The Human Body – Clear Evidence of God!

With all the discussion, debate, wondering, and philosophical “intellectual” reasoning going on in the world today, we need look no further than our human bodies to acknowledge the existence of the only creator God.

Why?

Because as will be pointed out in this blog post, the human body is so amazingly complex, intricate, and elaborate, it would have been utterly impossible for it to have just “evolved” from non-living matter. It is absolutely ridiculous to think otherwise.

To say we live in an information age would be a gross understatement. We have many more advancements in technology than the world at any time has ever seen, and it is growing and advancing exponentially. Yet, with all this so-called “knowledge”, humankind, for the most part, still gropes in darkness when it comes to the plain, simple reality of the existence of God.

Based on the latest statistical data from various sources, as late as January 2024, approximately 70%, of the world’s population do not align themselves with Jesus the Christ, whom the Bible clearly states is the creator God of everything. (statista.com; pewresearch.org; populationeducation.org)

Genesis 1:1 states, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. {emphasis added]”

Colossians 1:16 states, “For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through Him and for Him. [emphasis added]”

Verse 17 of that same chapter states, “And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [emphasis added]”

John 1:1-3,14 ESV states the following:

Verse 1: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [emphasis added]“

Verse 2: “He was in the beginning with God.”

Verse 3: “All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. [emphasis added]“

Verse 4: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. [emphasis added]”

Of all the amazing life we openly see around us every day, the human body, when really studied and analyzed, is the most amazing of all. I have noticed over the past number of years how increasingly the use of the word awesome is thrown around in our society for simple, ordinary, everyday things in life. It is clearly a misapplied use of the word, when compared to everyday ordinary things. The word, awesome, by definition means “reverential fear; stand in awe; dread inspired by something great, or terrific”. No person, place, or thing done by humans is in any way comparable to God or anything in His creation.

If we step back and examine the details of these bodies we walk around in and compare them to the ordinary things of life, we will realize there is really no comparison at all.

Psalm 139:14 states, “I will give thanks to you, because I am awesomely and wonderfully made; Wonderful are your works, and my soul knows it very well. [emphasis added]”

Our Incredible Complex Cells

The human body is such an enormously and immensely structured composition of living organs that are synchronized to work together in an incredible manner, which screams loud that there is a supernatural intelligence behind it.

We have trillions, not millions or billions, but trillions of living, tiny, microscopic size cells within our bodies, operating thousands of separate but interconnected systems that are essential for energy, growth, motion, reproduction, waste disposal, etc. These cells were once referred to as “simple” in the scientific community as a whole, but since the advent of the electron microscope which was invented, and developed in the 1920’s,1930’s and beyond, we now realize how utterly complex and intricate these extraordinarily tiny cells are.

In 1963, scientists were able to penetrate the cellular wall and examine the interior of a living cell. Prior to that, a major part of the cell body was believed to be nothing more than a jelly-like substance.

However, George E. Palade, who was a cell biologist and professor at the Rockefeller Institute in New York, made an extraordinary discovery that transformed the science of biology. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1974, along with two others.

A Remarkable Microscopic Universe Within Us

We have a massive maze of infinitely microscopic tubes as well as incredibly tiny cells within cells. Many scientists now acknowledge that the previously thought of “simple” cell actually contains the most complex and exquisite system ever found in the whole Universe. The surface of these incredibly tiny cells that form our bodies are protected by a membrane that is less than a third of a millionth of an inch thick. Yet that cell wall is able to control both the entry and exit of thousands of chemicals, enzymes, and proteins that are essential for life to exist!

How does that just happen by chance or randomness, without some supernatural intelligence behind it? Answer. It doesn’t.

It has been estimated through study and technology we have approximately 60 trillion cells in our body! Whenever one of them needs something vital to survive like a chemical, an enzyme, a vitamin, or needs to excrete a harmful waste product or whatever the need, the cells communicate with the rest of our body.

The bloodstream then sends its vital fluid through thousands of miles of veins, arteries, and capillaries that reach every single cell to provide essential nutrients and eliminate waste products.

One of the most effective ways to understand the enormous complexity of the amazing functions performed by these trillions of cells is to think of them as tiny, microscopic size cities. They perform functions that include energy generation; defense against biological invaders; intricate communication to trillions of other cells simultaneously; transportation systems to move nutritional products within and without the cell; and many more other elaborate activities.

Talk about awesome, now that is truly awesome!

How does that just happen by chance or randomness, without some supernatural intelligence behind it? Answer. It doesn’t.

A human cell is made up of literally thousands of intricate proteins that are absolutely essential for life to continue. These thousands of proteins are themselves individually composed of over one thousand amino acid molecules, which must be arranged in an amazingly precise sequence that could never have been selected by random chance!

Honest biologists who have examined and studied the details of the “simple cell” have concluded that none of our human cells could ever perform their essential life functions unless every single arrangement was purposely arranged in the precise pattern that has been discovered.

The Human Brain

The human brain is the most complex structure that is known to exist on earth.

Dr. Isaac Asimov, the late biochemist and atheist, wrote, “In man is a three-pound brain which, as far as we know, is the most complex and orderly arrangement of matter in the Universe.” (Smithsonian, June 1970, p.10.)

The complexity and intricate order in the human brain defies our comprehension. When considering the extraordinary discoveries in the last decades regarding the powerful computational and memory capabilities of the brain, it should illicit an overwhelming sense of wonder at the magnificence of God’s creation.

The human brain consists of about 10,000 million nerve cells, each puts out between 10,000 and 100,000 connecting fibers which contacts other nerve cells. Altogether the total number of connections approaches a thousand million million! Numbers in that order are understandably completely beyond our ability to comprehend.

The hundred billion neurons in our brain are intricately linked to each other in the most complex network in the known Universe. Every one is connected to others, in a staggering number of complicated interconnections. Every single neuron is directly connected with more than fifty thousand other neurons through incredibly small fibers, allowing instantaneous transfers of messages across our brain. There are more than one quadrillion intricate electrical connections within the brain. That is awesome and sounds like design to me.

The Human Eye

Evolutionists believe that the complex systems found in living creatures were formed “accidentally” as a result of random-chance mutations.

Consider the case of the human eye and ask if such a complex and intricate optical system could ever have developed through random-chance alone. The genetic DNA code governing the eye programs a baby’s body when conceived in the womb, to begin growing optic nerves simultaneously from both the optic center of the brain and from the eye.

A million microscopic optic nerves begin growing from the eye through the flesh toward the optical section of the baby’s brain. Each of these one-million optic nerves must find and match up to its precise mate to enable vision to function perfectly!

Anyone who thinks this miracle of design happens by chance probably still believes in Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy.

The degree of complexity of the various parts of the eye makes the evolutionary theory that it “evolved over millions of years by tiny chance mutations” an absolute impossibility.

Charles Darwin himself admitted that the intricate engineering in the human eye was so complex and specialized that he could not imagine how the eye developed through the evolutionary processes of natural selection.

“To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree. [emphasis added]” (Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, New York: Avenel Books, 1979, p. 217)

Yet, despite his confession about the complexity of the human eye, Darwin still maintained his theory and position that the human body was formed by chance! If the eye alone could not have been formed by “natural selection “, then how rational is it to believe that the entire human body could have been?

A person must have a strong preconceived bias against the special and purposeful design we see in creation to insist on that proposition. Darwin, writing in the middle 1800’s, obviously did not have available the knowledge and technology we have today, which clearly makes his “scientific” theory, null and void, totally invalid. The consequences of his theory, however, are far reaching and eternally damaging because it appears millions still believe the untruths he submitted to the world, which were not based on sound factual evidence.

It should also be noted that the full, complete title of his book is, “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. [emphasis added]”

I will not even attempt to dignify that title by commenting on it, other than to say that the title obviously says a lot about his mindset.

One of the greatest problems facing those who deny the Creator God is trying to explain how natural selection or random mutation could evolve such a phenomenally complex organ as the human eye, or the eye of any creature.

There are millions of other intricate complexities and functions performed by the human body that space does not allow for in this blog. They are all impossible to explain outside of special creation by the supernatural power and design of the Creator God.

The Wonder of Reproduction for example, in which over 200 million microscopic sperm are released from the male to begin a critical journey lasting between four and six minutes to arrive at the woman’s egg, the ova. Out of the millions that began, only one will ever reach the ova, which is the size of half a grain of salt.

The Scriptures maintain that the blood is an essential factor in our life. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood. [emphasis added]” (Leviticus 17:11)

The liver is the necessary organ in the body that purifies the bloodstream. Thousands of years before this was known to humans, God had it recorded in the Bible. How could what was recorded approximately three thousand years ago been known then, which doctors did not know until the discovery by Dr. William Harvey in 1616, that of the essential role of the circulation of blood in life.

The food and drink we consume would be fatally poisonous if it were directly injected into our bloodstream. The liver has only ten to twelve seconds to chemically analyze and process the material before it enters the bloodstream. It performs these complex functions involving what is needed by our trillions of cells, all in less than twelve seconds, if it couldn’t do this we would die!

I think any reasonable and unbiased thinking person would agree, that is truly awesome and sounds like there must be a supernatural intelligence, and purposeful design behind such amazing functions.

What is the sum of all this?

In some of my previous blog posts and videos, I make what I consider to be very cogent, sound, and convincing reasons why any unbiased rational person who is not tainted with preconceived judgments, should acknowledge the existence of the creator God. I think particularly the moral and life sections covered in “There is No Creator God? Really?” gets us to the Christian God of the Bible.

That may not seem like an important issue to some right now, but eventually, we will all face God, who is love (1 John 4:8, 16) but who is also a God of justice (Psalm 45:6), whether a person believes He exist or not.

We will either stand before Him in our own so-called righteous, which is like filthy rags to Him (Isaiah 64:6), or the righteousness provided for and to us by Jesus the Christ.

“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin in our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. [emphasis added]” (2 Corinthians 5:21)

I pray that those of you who have taken the time to read this blog, will seriously consider what has been shared and make the most important decision of your life, that is, to Receive Jesus, the Christ as your savior.

This is NOT about a religion but a relationship.

“But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them (that received Him), He gave the right TO BECOME children of God, to those who believe (by receiving) in His name. [emphasis added]” (John 1:12)

One of the most misunderstood and often stated untruth is that we are all “children” of God. Not according to the Bible, which is His Word. We are all His creation for sure, but as the above verse (there are others as well) clearly states, we must receive Him (Jesus the Christ) TO BECOME a child, not just a creation of God. You would not have to become something you already are.
