Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well” ( Psalms139: 14).
In continuing the general theme of the last several articles, this week looks a little closer at the most wonderful of all God’s creation in this world, which is mankind.
That event, which is so complex, it leaves the most brilliant scientists of the world stupefied, and without a clue, is summed up in a simple sentence.
“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” ( Genesis 2: 7).
Although a masterpiece perfectly formed and molded by the hand of God, it was no more than an inanimate object, made of dirt, until God breathed into its nostrils the breath of life.
The heart then began to beat, pumping blood throughout the body, and its control center, the brain, began to function.
That inanimate object, at that moment, became Adam, a living soul, or person.
The many futile attempts of atheistic scientists to create life in a test tube will continue to fail because only the Creator God has the ability to create life!
While evolutionists sometimes like to give the impression they have succeeded, scientists doing the lab experiments admit they have never created life from non- living matter.
Man has succeeded in manufacturing different parts of the body such as artificial knees, and even the heart, but they cannot make a mechanical brain; it is the one unique and irreplaceable organ in the body.
Although weighing three pounds or less, it’s the orchestrator of all organ systems and the seat of personality.
In a medical sense, its presence or absence is what defines the presence or absence of life.
According to the Mayfield Clinic, intelligence, creativity, emotion, and memory are only a few of the numerous complex things governed by the brain.
The ability of mankind to experience happiness, joy, love, and pleasure, are among its most important functions.
Before sin, feelings of pain, sorrow, anger, and fear were not part of its functions, and after sin has been destroyed, that will once again be the case.
The capabilities of the brain to prompt positive emotions will then far exceed what we know today.
