BODY OF EVIDENCE

In the hospital the relatives gathered as their family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in booking somber. “I’m afraid I’m the bearer of bad news,” he said. “The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It’s an experimental procedure, very risky, but it is the only hope. And insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the brain yourselves.” The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, “Well, how much does
a brain cost?” The doctor quickly responded, “$5,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a female brain.” The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked. A man unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, “Why is the male brain so much more?” The doctor explained to the entire group, “It’s just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they’ve actually been used.

If evolution were true, our bodies would produce only what we need to survive. But in creationism we see God’s provision of organs in number and/or size that are far beyond what we need to live (resulting in the extension of life). And evolutionists have no way of explaining how this came to be or why this is so. Consider these six of the many that could be listed,

1 Lungs

We can lose one of our two lungs, and while we may not be able to go out and run races, we can live and get around. As well, even with one lung, being short of breath while resting does not occur until we lose 75% of that lone lung tissue.

2 Kidneys

We can lose a kidney or we can donate a kidney and still get by just fine in life. In fact, we must lose one kidney and most of the other kidney (up to 75%) before we run any into life-threatening trouble. Only then, does kidney failure result.

3 Liver

The liver works with the kidneys to detox our body and many other amazing jobs. And as with the kidneys, we’re able to get by on a fraction of our normal liver size. You can even be a living liver donor, giving up to 70% of the tissue and it will all grow back.

4 Brains

Our brains can compensate for the major loss of nerve cells. Following an operation, called a hemispherectomy, those who have lost up to half of their brains have shown an amazing ability to rewire their brain-cell circuits and cognitively function again.

5 Heart

The heart, our most vital organ, regularly pumps over 100,000 times a day But it’s three main coronary arteries have to be blocked from 50-75% before posing a risk of a heart attack. And some people can even get by on much less blood supply than that.

6 Intestines

We have around six-to-seven meters (twenty-to-twenty five feet) of bowel length in our gastrointestinal tract, but we can survive on much less. As a matter of fact up to 50% of the colon can be surgically removed and we still can function fine.

Then the extras bring greater enjoyment of life, not one, but two – eyes, ears, legs, feet, arms, hands, etc.

The bottom line? Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.
