Every branch of medical science with each new discovery reinforces these words of the Psalmist. Our human body is nothing short of miraculous and is evidence of an omniscient designer and an omnipotent creator.

Every advance in medical knowledge continues to confirm God’s word. Whether it be at a microscopic cellular level or the multifaceted whole of body systems working together, the evidence for a creator is clear.

Unfortunately, the author King David recognised the limitations of our ability for our human nature to comprehend creation knowledge or ‘the capacity to make something out of nothing’. Verse 6, “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.”

Our inability to fully comprehend, however, does not negate the truth of God’s word nor does it undermine His love to us. Verse 16, “Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.”

Jesus confirmed in His teaching that the ‘book of the living’ contains this knowledge of our individual being down to even the very hairs of our head being numbered and of value. Luke 12:6-7, “Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.”

Valued and miraculous as it is, this human form is but a corrupted version of the original. Scientific endeavour in the field of genetic entropy confirms that we as a whole of species began from a much better genetic point than we are at now.

Ultimately, this corrupted body must be put off so that immortality (eternal life) can be our goal. 1 Corinthians 15:49-50, “And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.”
