The Miracle of Life: Creation or Evolution-Which is Valid?

The Miracle of Life:

Creation or Evolution-

which is Valid?

Two cells fused to become one,

within days a single cell

becomes two, four, eight,

sixteen, thirty-two, sixty-four,

hundreds, thousands,

millions, billions, even trillions.

Within weeks the multiplying

cells in clusters travel through a

channel to a permanent home,

a naturally created home,

very un-usual in form, design, and

shape.

A home where the secret of life is

unlocked,

a home where hidden and

wonderful transformation of

little known miracle develops

into a phenomenon-

a bouncing baby nine months after.

Congratulations! Congratulations!

Congratulations!

“A boy or a girl?”

That’s the question

everyone asks,

when a child is born.

 The journey to this question

begins with one-fifth inch of a

C shaped embryo,

which becomes manifest

under a scan check,

forty-two days after conception.

As delicate as the embryo is,

within is the genetic code-

Deoxyribonucleic Acid located in

nearly every cell nucleus-

a replicate, wonderful, and

a memory micro-chips;

instruction manual for body

formation, growth and

development.

Like a charted course on a map, or

a book with chapters and

verses that highlights a specific

theme and  a character,

so is DNA.

With DNA, 

embryo starts differentiation,

as several billion bases 

packed into tens or hundreds of

thousands genes in a multiple of 

twenty-three paired chromosomes

go into action.

Retro-flexed DNA s begin to

unwind,

individualization takes place

as similar DNA cells begin

forming different body parts

in a harmonious ,

but significantly, in arithmetical

progression of addition by increment or

auxesis.

Through multiplication by growth,

division through segmentation, and

subtraction by means of elimination,

body structure progresses from a

simpler or lower form to a more

advanced, mature, and complex stage.

Touch your head, close your eyes,

hold your ears,  raise your hands,

jump on your legs;

shout with your mouth,

sit down on your buttocks.

Place hand on your chest,

hold your breath for seconds,

picture the digestive tract from

mouth to the abdomen.

Reflect on reproductive organs-

penis, virginal, and breasts;

imagine several tens of glands with

thousands of hormones they produce.

Examine the circulatory system

with billions of inter-connected

veins or grids that transport 

blood and nutrients to body parts.

Wait a minute, as you examine 

the most important body

fluid-blood,

a four composite fluid-red, 

white, platelets, and plasma.

Think over saliva-

the hydrostatic lubricant-

necessary for digestion;

remember the semen and

female egg,

life perpetuating materials

in human.

Examine waste management process 

and disposal from the body;

look at several activities of daily

living-sleeping, eating, shower, toileting,

working, exercise, sexual-relations.

Examine the human brain-

the fluid-filled cavities of-

forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain;

imagine brain specialized 

areas-cerebellum, cortex, stem,

dura, and basal ganglia.

How about the lobes?

Frontal, parietal, temporal, and

occipitals.

Have you ever given thought to

the three-pound-organ-

the brain,

seat of human intellect, 

message creation, and

interpretation?

Have you ever considered your

body coordination, balancing,

and movement?

Have you ever pondered over

your habit and behavior  and

ask for the responsible organ?

Can you envisage a life

without writing and

documentation?

Can you image a life

without mental and

memory ability?

What happens to a life without

hearing, sight, thinking,

vocalization, and

sound moral composition?

Picture a life without-love,

kindness, peace,

altruism, care, and compassion.

These are few viewpoints

that constitute miracle called-

Man.

Amazingly, multiple biological,

physiological, anatomical, and

emotional processes unfold

simultaneously during  

the nine month period.

A period marked by

gradual and series of

physical and chemical

developments.

As body grows,

so each part does

even assumes responsibility

within,

in preparation for

life outside womb.

 Each passing week of 

thirty-six to forty week

gestation period comes

with mouth-gaping

development. 

Although, the development and

growth aren’t rapid;

yet, there are landmark

changes that take place by

days and weeks,

as body continues to take shape 

structurally and emotionally.

Life duplication and continuation

through sexual-relations between

a man and a woman explains

one of the several wonders

in our cosmos.

However,  this biological

process within   

may not be fully comprehended,

even with the use of  combined

advanced technology of

ultrasound and magnetic resonance-

now use to treat cancer,

which may someday applies

to study pregnancy related issues.

Is man-a product of creation or

evolution?

Did man has a maker or

evolved through the natural selection

by mutation and adaptation?

Have survivalists or

proponents of

survival of the fittest theory 

answer certain biological and

anatomical questions about

human life?

As we ponder over

these questions,

let evolutionists-

provide us with more of sound

argument and reasoning on this

Miracle of Life.
