And this is by chance?
“The human brain is heralded for its staggering complexity
and processing capacity. Its hundred billion neurons and
several-hundred-trillion synaptic connections can process and exchange large
amounts of information over a distributed network of brain tissue in a matter
of milliseconds. Such massive parallel-processing capacity permits our brains
to analyze complex images in one-tenth of a second, allowing us to visually
experience the richness of the world. Likewise, the storage capacity of the
human brain is nearly infinite. During our life-time, our brain will have
amassed 109 to 1020 bits of information, which is more than fifty-thousand
times the amount of text contained in the U.S. Library of Congress, or more
than five times the amount of the total printed material in the world!” [1]
King David wrote under the inspiration of God’s Word:
“For you
formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise
you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul
knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in
secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed
substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were
formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.” (Psalm 139:13–16, ESV)
