There's been a lot of hoopla on cnn.com about the success of NASA deploying the rover "Curiosity" on Mars. At a mission cost of 2.6 billion, the hefty price tag is impressive. The rover was eight months hurtling through space before it touched down safely on the Red Planet. It is amazing what technology, human ingenuity, and some government funding can do.
As amazing as it is to put a man on the moon or a rover on Mars, it is nothing compared to the miracle of human life. It is far easier for us to land a rover with cameras and robotic arms on Mars and control it remotely than to comprehend or explain how bones form in the womb of the mother (Ecclesiastes 11:5). Isn't it crazy that the heart of a baby forms BEFORE the brain? Unless the heart was formed and pumping blood throughout the body, the brain tissues could not live. Our brains cannot fathom this wisdom. Maybe the day will come when man will put a rover on Jupiter, but that great feat will still pale in comparison to the miracle of life which God performs hundreds of thousands of times every 24 hours right here on earth.
A microscopic cell from a father and a cell from the mother in the right conditions are all that it required to begin a whole new life, a person in whom God breathes a living soul. Diving to the bottom of the Mariana Trench is kid stuff compared to this. God scoffs at nanotechnology: He is the only true Innovator and Creator. Worship Him, because by Him all things are created and consist.
Amen!
