The Human Body

What an amazing and complex mechanism that the human body is. It really is a complex thing! Especially when the starting point for a human being is a single, fertilied egg.

Could a single egg hold all of the information to develop into a human being? As the foetus grows into a baby capable of being born when it becomes a distinct human being in its own right, all of the process that controlled the growth and formation of the child was already in the fertilised egg. The parents had passed the instructions to the egg and the growth of the child was then controlld by the DNA information in the cells of the child.

All the instructions to create and form a human being are in the egg and sperm of the parents. How could such a complex design form by random, pure chance? The billions of instruction required to grow the foetus into a human being have to operate in a certain sequence as the foetus grows. Any changes in that sequence could cause the death of the foetus or could cause the resulting child to be malformed.

What are the odds that this sequence of the foetus growth could possibly have occurred randomly. It seems to me to be an impossible sequence to devlop naturally

What brings life/death to the human body?

This cannot really be answered. All we know is that human beings, and all animals, birds, insects etc. have this thing called 'life' and this makes them very different entities to what they are when they don't have it, namely when they are dead! With death comes rapid deterioration of the body and the chemicals that make up the body all return to the earth.

The inference is clear. The body will eventually fail in a catastrophic manner which brings on death. But excluding accidents, sickness or deliberate actions to kill, the body will live for a certain time period before it does fail. This aging process cannot be a result of evolution. It is the antithesis of the evolutionary process to choose to deliberately kill the products of evolution. Instead they should be living longer to continue breeding!
