It is the same for the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, stomach and the reproductive system. \u00a0None of these complex interdependent organs function on their own. \u00a0Unless they all existed together right from the beginning, there would be no human life.<\/li>\n<li>The circulatory system has 60,000 miles (100,000 kms) of blood vessels, arteries and capillaries for transporting blood. \u00a0The primary vessels flow from the heart through the body and back to the heart again. \u00a0If the flow of blood was not perfectly designed to make the return trip from the beginning, we would \u00a0bleed to death.<\/li>\n<li>Our blood clotting mechanism has no purpose until it completes several stages of development. \u00a0Yet, without this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HFNWGCx_Eu4\">clotting mechanism<\/a> you would bleed to death from a single cut. \u00a0This isn\u2019t the product of an evolutionary accident. \u00a0It is a clear description of God\u2019s design.<\/li>\n<li>Natural processes do not explain complex molecules that support all matter.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icr.org\/article\/4314\">reproductive system<\/a> is another miracle. \u00a0Babies have a totally different life support system before birth &#8212; than after birth. \u00a0Babies live in a water world and the umbilical cord acts as a temporary replacement for the lungs until the baby is born.<\/li>\n<li>Your <a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/human-body\/heart\/\">heart is a miracle organ<\/a>. \u00a0Without any action on your part, your heart beats at a rate of about 100,000 beats per day. \u00a0Suggesting that the human heart is the product of a mindless, random series of events is simply foolish.<\/li>\n<li>It is an<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eternal-productions.org\/101science.html\" class=\"broken_link\"> irrefutable biological fact that the fertilized egg is truly an entire human being<\/a>. Nothing will be added to the first cell except nutrition and oxygen. \u00a0Life truly begins at fertilization, Jeremiah 1:5.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221;

Lucy was not a hominid after all; Peking Man was human; Cro-Magnon Man was indistinguishable from modern man; Neanderthal Man was human with a pathological condition or disease.<\/li>\n<li>Evolution theory contends mankind evolved from primates. \u00a0At least 61 primates make up the total primate population today of 1.6 million. \u00a0There are 7.3 billion humans living today, 4550 x the primate population. \u00a0If evolution theory were true, there should be about 277,500 new species evolved from humans. \u00a0There are none.<\/li>\n<li>Evolution theory claims that beneficial mutations are key to developing life forms.
