Sitting quietly on the couch massaging my wife's feet,I started to think about the beauty and complexity of the human, body, and how wonderful it is, and how all creation is absolutely amazing. My wife has beautiful feet, might I ad, and they are perfectly fitted to the rest of her body, and though they get tired and sore by the end of a work day, standing and walking behind a counter serving customers, putting orders away and just plain business, they are back at it the next day and do it all over again. I know, a lot of people do suffer from foot ailment of all kinds, and I feel for them at the moment because I am made aware of how we take our feet for granted, and how essential, they are for or lives.
With 26 bones,33 joints of witch 20 you articulate yourself, and more then a 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments,(Wikipedia), they are a marvel of engineering, designed to give us a complex range of mobility, from balance to speed to endurance, and precision. Recently I watched a video of a young gymnast doing her floor routine and though I have watched olympics competition many times, it is still a wonder to see them and the control they have on their body, and for a lot of these possibilities they have their feet to thank for.
As my thoughts kept going deeper in the intricacies of the human foot and particular qualities, I reed about it's complex design and of the shapes of the bones and combination of muscles tendons and ligaments, that gives it it's multiple abilities, it is just plain amazing.
A while ago I watched an episode of Harry's law, and they where considering the case of a gorilla and the defense it's rights , and then a week ago we watched Tarzan the animated version, so my thoughts wondered to the animal kingdom. A very similar complexity of design in the animals foot for all species who have them, from the elephant to the smallest of vertebrates like frogs or salamanders.
Both my daughter and daughter in law are pregnant, due about two month apart from each other so it's no wonder we have been following their progress and that of the babies, so to wrap it up, all these thoughts bring me back to the wonders of the intricacies of our bodies and the fact that we can somehow have a true sense and knowledge of how it function.
Now,I am not a doctor or a biologist or any kind of scientist but I can understand to a certain dept what I read about the physiology of the body. Here is my point how can we attribute such complexity to evolution and how can we have such insight in this complex world around us just because we evolved a little more then, the great apes, after all just a chromosome difference. How could King David of the Jews have such insight to be able to write Psalm139
Psalm 139:13-16 MSG
Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother's womb. I thank you, High God-you're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration-what a creation! You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, The days of my life all prepared before I'd even lived one day.
How could we have such insight if it where not because we are created in the likeness of God with capacity to know and understand.
Genesis 1:26-28 MSG
God spoke: "Let us make human beings in our image, make them reflecting our nature So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle, And, yes, Earth itself, and every animal that moves on the face of Earth." God created human beings; he created them godlike, Reflecting God's nature. He created them male and female. God blessed them: "Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge! Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air, for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth."
