Human Body
Created By God
You don’t have to look far to find the best evidence for the Creator. In fact, your eyes are a good starting point. With a microscope, you’ll find a billion more powerful evidences that patrol your blood every day—your feisty white blood cells, which could only be the handiwork of a Master Designer.
The Heart
To survive, we require a specialized pump that can deliver life-giving blood to all our body parts, day and night, year after year, without fail. To get the job done within the body of a living organism, the heart must overcome some incredible engineering challenges.
Iron Needed
Some 96% of our body is made of four common chemicals: hydrogen and oxygen (75%, mostly water), carbon (18%), and nitrogen (3%). The remaining 4% consists of many different minerals, such as sulfur, magnesium, and iron. Although some of these minerals come in small “trace” portions, each is essential for life.
Vestigial Organs
Vestigial organs are often used as evidence to argue in favor of Darwinian evolution. These organs are allegedly left over from our ancestors but are no longer useful or needed. For the creationist, there should be no problem with an organ or structure in man that has lost some functionality.
Human Body Topics
-
Brain
The human brain is so complex that scientists have barely tapped its intricacy. The quiet workings of the brain point toward its Designer.
-
Eyes
The Lord claims to be the Creator of the “seeing eye.” (Proverbs 20:12) The sophisticated and elaborate design of the eye certainly points to His design.
-
“Vestigial” Organs
Several organs have been labeled “vestigial” evolutionary relics with little or no function. These organs are now proving purposeful. It’s the label, not the organs, that is vestigial.
