dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. - The New King James Version. Nashville : Thomas Nelson, 1982

• MAN THE PINACLE OF GOD’S CREATION – THE GLORY OF OUR DESIGNER CAN BE

SEEN IN ALL HIS CREATION.

– ROMANS 1:18-23 --- “…. CLEARLY SEEN”

“Romans 1:18-20 (NKJV) 18 For the wrath of God is revealed

from heaven against all ungodliness

and unrighteousness of men, who

suppress the truth in

unrighteousness, 19 because what may

be known of God is manifest in

them, for God has shown it to them. 20

For since the creation of the world His

invisible attributes are clearly seen,

being understood by the things that

are made, even His eternal power and

Godhead, so that they are without

excuse,

The Glory

Of The

Designer –

Part 2

The Glory Of The Designer

• The glory of the Designer in the human body

– The human eye and the ability to see:

“To suppose that the eye with

all its inimitable contrivances

for adjusting the focus to

different distances, for

admitting different amounts of

light, and for the correction of

spherical and chromatic

aberration, could have been

formed by natural selection,

seems, I freely confess, absurd

in the highest degree.”

(Charles Darwin)

“The human eye is a truly amazing

phenomenon. Although accounting

for just one fourth-thousandth of an

adult’s weight, it is the medium which

processes some 80% of the

information received by its owner

from the outside world. The tiny retina

contains about 130 million rod-

shaped cells, which detect light

intensity and transmit impulses to the

visual cortex of the brain by means of

some one million nerve fibres, while

nearly six million cone-shaped cells

do the same job, but respond

specifically to colour variation. The

eyes can handle 500,000 messages

simultaneously, and are kept clear by

ducts producing just the right amount

of fluid with which the lids clean both

eyes simultaneously in one five-

thousandth of a second.” (Jastrow)

All parts

function

together to

make vision

possible. All

parts are

necessary for

good vision.

The design of

the eye

cannot be

improved

upon.

Designer or

coincidence?

What about inverted

vision? What about the

retina being wired

backwards? Does this

disprove design?

• Keeps light from bouncing off the back of the eye

causing a distorted image to be seen

• Has the rods and cones positioned closest to the

fluid, nutrients, oxygen, blood, etc… that they

need to function, have energy, and reproduce.

• Educated evolutionists know this and no longer

point to this as a case of poor design!

"Go to this people, and

say, You will indeed hear

but never understand,

and you will indeed see

but never perceive. For

this people's heart has

grown dull, and with

their ears they can

barely hear, and their

eyes they have closed;

lest they should see

with their eyes and hear

with their ears and

understand with their

heart and turn, and I

would heal them.”

(Acts 28:26-27)

The Glory Of The Designer

• The glory of the Designer in the human body

– The human eye and the ability to see speaks of

very intelligent design and purpose

– Our ears, from our outer ear, to our middle ear, to

our inner ear… we see design

“The ear is capable of sensory

response to sound whose

pressure at the ear drum is no

greater than two ten-

thousands of a millionth of

barometric pressure. This

pressure moves the ear drum

about one one-hundred-

millionth of an inch. That

dimension is approximately

one one-hundredth the width

of a hydrogen molecule, the

tiniest of all known molecules.

Therefore, throughout a

significant portion of the ear’s

dynamic range, it is moving in

sub-molecular dimensions.”

The Outer Ear

• Pinna – Perfectly

designed to capture

sound waves from all

directions and funnel it

through the ear canal.

• Ear Canal – Carries

sound to ear drum.

Produces wax that

prevents irritation and

fights bacteria.

• Ear Drum – Sound

waves vibrate this

membrane. These

vibrations are passed

on to the middle ear.

The Middle Ear

• Ossicles (Hammer, Anvil, and

Stirrup) – Carry vibrations to the

inner ear. Increase auditory

sensitivity, increasing hearing.

• Stapedius muscle – Controls

stirrup movement when sound is

too loud. Keeps it from vibrating

so much it damages our hearing.

• Tensor Tympani muscle –

Dampens vibrations that come off

the ear drum

The

Inner Ear

• Cochlea –

Converts the

vibes into

electrical signals

our brain can

interpret.

• Organ of Corti – Three rows of outer cells and one

row of inner cells that have microscopic hairs on them

which move as the sound is being received.

“Note how the ear converts

sound wave energy into

mechanical energy as sound

travels through the EAC,

contacts the TM, and sets the

ossicles in motion. Mechanical

energy is then converted into

hydraulic energy when the stapes

creates wave in the cochlea.

Finally, the hydraulic energy is

converted into electrical (neural)

energy with movement of the hair

cells in the cochlea. Ultimately,

this neural energy is transmitted

along the vestibulocochlear

nerve and interpreted by the

brain as sound. Such

sophistication and complexity

simply could not have evolved.”

“He who has

ears to hear, let

him hear”

- Jesus

(Mark 4:23)

– Though we cannot see this part of our body, the

complexity and intricate purpose in cells cannot

be accounted for through evolution.

• Nucleus – Control

center of cell. Holds

DNA. Directs the cell’s

growth & reproduction.

• Ribosomes – Like fax

machines. RNA is fed

through them and a

message is sent out

that directs the cell.

• Mitochondria –

Produces the energy.

• Plasma Membrane –

Protects the cell.

Allows nutrients in and

expels waste. Has

proteins that lets cell

adjust to changes.

• Lysosomes – Breaks

down food and

processes waste

– Evolution cannot explain the breath of life, but

looking to design it makes perfect sense.

Nose - Cleans and conditions

the air. Humidifies & warms it

Bronchial System – Lined with

cilia hairs that move mucous up

and down for further filtering.

At base there is an air sac

where the mucous is dissolved.

Alveoli – The CO2 in blood is

exchanged for O2. Blood

carries that to heart & through

body. Refreshed blood drives

metabolic reactions giving life.

The CO2 diffuses into lungs and

is exhaled. The breathing

process starts over and we have

not even thought about it!

The Air Cycle –

A Perfect

Recycle System

“The God who made the

world and everything in

it, being Lord of heaven

and earth, does not live

in temples made by man,

nor is he served by

human hands, as though

he needed anything,

since he himself gives to

all mankind life and

breath and everything.”

(Acts 17:24-25)

– The placenta is discarded after its use, but even it shows perfect purpose and design

Produces hormones that change the

mother’s physiology which prepares

the uterus for the baby and causes her

to produce the nutrients & O2 needed.

Prevents the mother’s body from

rejecting the new life since it is a

“foreign object” in her system.

Placenta functions as the child’s organs

while its organs are developing. It can

even do this to the point of birth.

Detaches & is expelled at birth. The

arteries connecting it have sphincter

muscles which “tie off” the arteries,

keeping the mother from bleeding to

death. Usually only a pint is lost.

The Glory Of The Designer

• The glory of the Designer in the human body

– We don’t think of this as an organ, but it is… Our

skin points us toward the “Master Engineer”

Outer layer, the epidermis is

made up of 15-20 rows of dead

skin cells. The inner layer, the

dermis, is a spongy layer that is

always producing more cells to

replace what epidermis looses.

Receptors at the end of nerve

fibers in the dermis gives the

ability to feel – Necessary for

function, for feeling temperature,

and for feeling texture

Produces chemicals that absorbs UV rays from the sun and turns

it into vitamin D (bone strength). Also makes melatonin which

protects the skin from the harm of UV rays.

Protects all that is on our insides – Absorbs shock like a rubber

bumper that goes around bumper cars preventing damage.

– Looking at how scientists seek to create

mechanical body parts show the wisdom and

– What about “vestigial organs?”

Vestigial Organs?

• In 1892, 180 were listed. In 1999, scientists

reduced the number 0! • Formerly defined them as organs once used in

our evolutionary past, but now no longer serve

any function and are thus useless.

• Now, they say that it is an organ that has shrunk

in size or function due to the evolutionary

process… How arbitrary and convenient!

The Appendix – Exposes immunity

cells to antigens from bacteria so

our immune system can decipher

friend from foe.

Wisdom Teeth – Issues likely due

to changes in diet and dental care.

Now no longer automatically

removed.

Coccyx – Not a remnant of a tail,

but an anchor for muscles and

tendons.

“Actually, when you consider that there are no evidences of the transitional

stages between functioning organs and useless organs, then these so-called

useless appendages would prove devolution, not evolution. Evolution is

the rise of new, different, and functioning organs, not the wasting away of already-

present, complex organs.”
