Your hand have made and fashioned Me


http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/assets/img/posters/life-greatest-miracle-vi.jpg
To watch, "Life's Greatest Miracle" that was published by PBS was an amazing experience.  Me and my wife was able to cuddle together in one chairs and watch how from conception to newborn life is formed.  Reading about it is one thing, but watching it with an naked eye is a totally different, a different experience.

For me, (I don't know why) conception was an easy step, at least that's how my mind was formulated when I was growing up.  But recently, studying conception and the development of human embryo got me thinking the other way.  I could now see why this video was named "miracle," because it is.  It is so complex that even having all the technology, scientist till this day are left to guess in how the embryo forms.

What bothered me is my inability to comprehend this process.  How can two cell, (that are hard to see with an naked eye) make a fetus who is just over and inch long and weigh less then a third of an ounce?  That is we can see the hands and legs of this baby.  I know I was once this kind of fetus but now I am able to run, crawl, eat, see, observe, think and respond to an environment.  Think about it, we can't make something from scratch, we use something that already exist.  But when we do form something, we don't even come close to how the embryo is made.  We came into existence where everything is functioning (that is made beyond human intelligence) and somehow we are left to make sense out of this?  No wander the video was called "Life's Greatest Miracle."

I don't know when me and my wife will have a baby, but when we do, I pray so that this miracle would be able to say the same thing as this man said: "Your hand have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments" (Psalms 119:73).

It's ver fascinating if you think about how we were nothing but cells and then we grow into an organism that can eat grow walk crawl understand what is going on and be able to talk it's a fascinating process.

Something that we don't notice because it comes naturally; people are more amazed when someone does something complex in technology. But something that is 100 more complex (like human development) does not fascinates people.

Why Job DID NOT cursed God?

http://www.skybluevaping.co.za/image/data/journal/1383-1.jpg The tone of the conversation was different when Satan appeared before God second time. Not because Satan repented or agreed with God, but because his hypothesis fell short.  Satan just destroyed Jobs wealth and his children (seven sons and three daughters) using evil men, fire, and wind arguing that this was the reason why Job served God in the first place. Job response to his lost was not a cursing God attitude but a humble worship.  “ Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return.  The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord ” (Job 1:20).    When Satan appears before God second time, God asked him the same question as he did in the first conversation,  "' Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and ...

The Last Moments of Christopher Hitchens life

Christopher Hitchens is one of the leading atheist of our times, they call it the new atheism now.  He also is the author of a book, “God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything,” that was just recently released; heavily opposing religion and any idea that God exist.  But right now Mr Hitchens is in his last stages of the esophageal cancer.  The New Your Time describes his last moments of life like this: “Some of these articles were written with the full consciousness that they might be my very last. Sobering in one way and exhilarating in another, this practice can obviously never become perfected.”  Another words, Hitchens has little time left. Smoking and drinking was something that Hitchens needed to quit, life was more important then the pleasures of these habits, not mentioning that he had a feeding tube installed since June.  He had power in articulating his worldview to others, the ideas, but were these thoughts the reality of our world?

Lock Him up with the Bible & the Books

"Fling him into his office. Tear the 'Office' sign from the door and nail on the sign, 'Study.' Take him off the mailing list. Lock him up with his books and his typewriter and his Bible. Slam him down on his knees before texts and broken hearts and the flock of lives of a superficial flock and a holy God.  Force him to be the one man in our surfeited communities who knows about God. Throw him into the ring to box with God until he learns how short his arms are. Engage him to wrestle with God all the night through. And let him come out only when he's bruised and beaten into being a blessing.  Shut his mouth forever spouting remarks, and stop his tongue forever tripping lightly over every nonessential. Require him to have something to say before he dares break the silence. Bend his knees in the lonesome valley.  Burn his eyes with weary study. Wreck his emotional poise with worry for God. And make him exchange his pious stance for a humble walk with God a...
