The Bible tells us we are “fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalms 139:14)
We breathe normally 16 times a minute. If we stop breathing for five minutes or so, we die.
We breathe in air conditioning around 21 percent oxygen-absorbed into the body and used. The air we exhale is only 16 percent oxygen.
This is the normal cycle of all humans on earth, plus every land animal as well. Within the air, we exhale, in addition to the 16 percent oxygen, there is carbon dioxide (CO2); waste lung impurities and water vapor, which you can see on a cold day. We call it, “seeing your breath”. And God “breathed into Adam the Breath of Life” (Gen. 2:7).
Sugars are important in our bodies’ nutrition. The most important of all sugars is what we call glucose- sometimes called blood sugar. Simply because glucose is the only form of sugar that is absorbed into the blood stream. There are other common sugars like fructose, galactose, and mannose. But those must be broken down by the body’s enzymes into glucose before the body can use them. Low blood sugar can cause weakness and sometimes passing out.
All other sugars must be broken down by the way of six steps before finally reaching the last step; glucose… also sometimes called, blood-energy-sugar.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made: An adult human in made up of fifty trillion cells… that a 50, followed by 12 zeros.  Each cell is so specialized that it depends on the other body cells to perform functions it can’t perform by itself. So, the individual human cell cannot survive in isolation.
When the male and female reproductive cells come together at conception this union forms a new body cell, which immediately begins to divide and grow into many new body cells combined to form a new human being (an embryo). At 5 days, an embryo has a heartbeat. God said, “I knew you in your mother’s womb” he (God) that made me in the womb…” (Job 31:15); “but you (God) are He who took me out of the womb-from my mother’s womb you (God) have been my God” (Psalm 22:9-10). How can anyone tell me abortion is ok?
The hairs in our nostrils helps filter out impurities that would reach our lungs. So are millions of microscopic cilia (hair-like projections) in our throats, at the mouth of our trachea (wind pipe), that likewise filter out invisible air impurities. That would reach our lungs. Ain’t we somethin’?
I’ve gotta pull a Hank Snow-my pen is running out of ink.
