We live in an amazing world. The greatest of all creations is man himself, the marvelous machine – precise and efficient. The human body has a dynamic framework of bone and cartilage called the skeleton. The human skeleton is flexible, with hinges and joints that were made to move.
As we observe the World around us, we see clearly God’s handiwork.

Yes, the body is a wonder machine, despite the defects from genetic copying errors (mutations) that have accumulated since the Fall of man brought on the Curse (Genesis 3).
The human brain is … “the most complex and orderly arrangement of matter in the universe.” Isaac Asimov
The body has a chemical plant far more intricate than any plant that man has ever built. This plant changes the food we eat into living tissue.
The human body has an automatic thermostat that takes care of both our heating and cooling systems, keeping body temperature at about 37°C (98.6°).
The brain is the center of a complex computer system more wonderful than the greatest one ever built by man. The body’s computer system computes and sends throughout the body billions of bits of information, information that controls every action, right down to the flicker of an eyelid. And in just one human brain there is probably more wiring, more electrical circuitry, than in all the computer systems of the world put together.
God created the human body wonderfully.
We must choose to obtain, grasp, and receive His peace. Like salvation, peace is a choice, not a demand.
“So, God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him, male and female created He them.” (Genesis 1:27)
In fact, as we look at this very moment, we are actually seeing with our brain. The message is carried there from another marvelous structure, the human eye. Modern cameras operate on the same basic principle as our eyes. In our eye the focus and aperture are adjusted automatically.
The sound we hear is being played on a perfect little musical instrument inside our ear. The sound waves go down the auditory canal and are carried by the bones of the middle ear to the cochlea, which is rolled up like a tiny sea shell. The outer ear operates in air. But the cochlea is filled with liquid, and transferring sound waves from air to liquid is one of the most difficult problems known to science.
The heart actually is a muscular pump forcing blood through thousands of miles of blood vessels. Blood carries food and oxygen to every part of the body. The heart pumps an average of six liters (1.5 U.S. gallons) of blood every minute, and in one day pumps enough blood to fill more than forty 200-litre (50-gallon) drums.
“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works,” (Psalm 139:14).
The human body is a wonderful machine. The fact that any one of these devices exists is a complete demonstration that they are the work of an intelligent and skillful designer, God Himself.
The book of Genesis teaches that God took “the dust of the ground”, a heap of chemicals, shaped a man and then blew into his nostrils the breath of life. Then man became a living soul. Human beings are different from animals, for “God created man in his own image” (Genesis 1:17). Our bodies have been designed with the ability to pass on to the next generation the programmed information required to form another person from simple chemicals.
We are more than the chemicals that form our body. We are a special creation of God. Man is God’s masterpiece – His workmanship, the crown of creation.
"Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture." (Psalm 100:3)
“Without a doubt, the most complex information-processing system in existence is the human body. If we take all human information processes together, i.e. conscious ones (language, information-controlled, deliberate voluntary movements) and unconscious ones (information-controlled functions of the organs, hormone system), this involves the processing of 10 to the 24th bits daily. This astronomically high figure is higher by a factor of 1,000,000 [i.e. is a million times greater] than the total human knowledge of 10 to the 18th bits stored in all the world’s libraries.”
