Love to hear from and know who is listening
When my children were growing up we had a lot of magnificent accidents. It was not uncommon for me to get concerned because suddenly the house was silent. Silence was not golden in my home, it was a sign that something was wrong, the kids were up to something and they were trying to hide from their father. So in the midst of the silence I would begin my stealthy search for my children. I would sneak up on them and when I found them they would be in the middle of mess that looked like a small bomb had exploded in their room. They would have no idea that I was present and in a stern fatherly voice I would say, “What happened here!” They would jump up and turn around and look me right in my eyes with a startled look on their face and say, “I don't know Dad, It Happened on an Accident!” The big bang is how some astronomers explain the way the universe began. They believe that an accidentally collision in the empty expanse of the universe, which began at a single point, then expanded and stretched to grow as large as it is now! This explanation of creation is just as hard for me to believe as my children's explanation that the rooms became a mess on an accident. There room didn't dirty itself and creation didn't create itself. God created everything that exists in an intricate fashion. For example the Earth seems to be in just right place for life. Venus is too close to the sun, and too hot for flowing water on its surface and Mars is too far from the sun, and too cold for flowing water on its surface. God also created our bodies in a delicate and intricate fashion.
Psalm 139: 13-16 ESV For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
The human body is an engineering marvel. God took dirt and formed our body into a miraculous, intricately designed creation, that is truly amazing! If you place just 1 square inch of skin under a microscope your will find in that piece of skin no bigger than a postage stamp, 3 million cells, 1 yard of blood vessels, 4 yards of nerves, 100 sweat glands, 15 oil glands and 25 nerve endings. All this in a piece of skin no bigger that a postage stamp. The heart pumps every minute of our lives, moving about 10 pints of blood through 60,000 miles of veins and arteries. That 10 pints of blood contains 25 trillion red blood cells that carry oxygen, 25 billion white cells that fight disease. If you were to take all the blood vessels, arteries and capillary in your body and spread them out, they would cover a 1 ½ acre field! All these vessels are interconnected to provide our body the nutrients we need to survive. That would be like the post office delivering millions of packages, over 60,000 miles of roads every day to exactly the right destination without ever loosing a package or delivering it to the wrong location. The heart is a muscle about the size of your fist. This amazing muscle never gets tired. If you work with your arms, they will get tired and sore. If you work with your legs, they will get tired and sore and eventually you will have to rest, but not your heart. It will pump 1 ½ million gallons of blood every year for the rest of your life. In a lifetime your heart will pump 40 million times. Some people would have you think that all of this just happened by accident, just like my kids used to tell me that their rooms just got to be a mess on a acci
