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.

Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scripture

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures ,  that he was buried , that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,   and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.  Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.   Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.   Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.   For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.   But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.   Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.  (1 Corinthians 15:3)

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? You could notice that Mr Hi

The Goodness of God and the Presence of Evil

Often skeptics of the Bible, pose a question: If God were all-powerful, he would have had ability to prevent evil. If God were all-good, he would have desired to prevent evil. So if God were both all-powerful and all good, there would have been no evil. But there is evil. Therefore, an all-powerful and all-good God does not exist. How can such a God exist, since there are so many children who are murdered every day? How can this God exist, when innocent girls get raped? The matter to be told, everyone has his own definition of evil. For example, some would say, murdering children after they are born is evil, yet murdering children while the baby is still in the womb is not. In fact, killing babies inside of a mother’s womb has been legalized and become socially accepted. Definition of Evil Most people who attempt to answer the problem of evil, define evil according to their own experiences. Overtime, a perspective on the definition of evil is formed, and most people reject
