Scientists estimate that we have over 60 trillion cells in our body, and of these cells about 100 billion are in our brain and nervous system. If we take this brain with its 100 billion neurons, each of these nerve cells on the average takes about 25,000 connections with other nerve cells and even itself. Given these figures, it has been estimated that we have about 100 trillion connections which hardwire all the cells of our brain so that it can do its work. It has also been estimated that each of these neurons is made up of about 10 billion molecules or macro molecules and that in the course of our life-time it can gather up to about 10¹⁵ bits of information and actually a lot more.

Our brains also process an incredible amount of information much faster than our most sophisticated computers. The programming of our brains is light years beyond our most sophisticated computer programs. A comparison of the human body to a computer is no comparison at all. We can put more than 37 million transistors on an average computer processing chip of what is considered the Brain of a computer today. This, however, does not even come close the complexity of just one human cell of the body which still requires the brain to function. The computer not only has to have the hardware but also a complicated processing system to make it all work. In other words, it needed intelligent design and organization in order to make it work properly. Concerning the human body, you can have all the muscles, bone and matter, but without the human intelligence behind it, it does not work.

The 3 pound hunk of grey matter in our heads as far as we know is capable of carrying on all of the thoughts, ideas and senses and movements we make throughout our life. The human brain accomplishes all this in one day on the energy contained in one peanut. So we also have an extremely efficient computer in our heads.

Just as a computer needs software, so does the human body. The genetic codes is so well packed, so well written it can carry out and maintain the human body throughout our lives. the DNA programming accomplishes this with only about 3 billion base codings. No one would ever question that a table top computer did not come about by chance or that the Windows XP program came about by chance; yet the complexity of the DNA programming is millions of times greater than our most sophisticated computer programs in existence which accomplishes zilch compared to what the DNA programming accomplishes. If you want to test this, wipe all the programming of your hard drive off and ask yourself how long it will take for Windows XP to to evolve by chance on your hard drive. You know it would never happen, yet we want to believe that the million times more complex programming of DNA came about by chance. this is ludicrous to the highest degree. This is what Paul was talking about when he said in Romans 1:20, "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that. . ." we are without excuse to not acknowledge God’s existence and His having created us by intelligent design, not by random chance collision of molecules.

What is involved in the creation of a computer? First, the designers sit down and spend on the average two years just on paper very carefully designing the computer, what it will look like, what programming will be required, how many lines of code and memory will be required, etcetera. Next, this is then written down in modules. The next year is spent in building the computer and another year is spent getting all the bugs out. Yet, despite this reality about the creation of a computer which is childs play compared to the complexity of the human body, we want to say the highly complex human body all came about by random chance. This is no more true than to say just by taking words and throwing them on a table and mixing them up we would come up with a highly sophisticated computer and programs to run the computer. Man did not happen by chance, he was created by the most intelligent designer in existence: Yehovah God—Jesus Christ. The Psalmist David wrote:

"For You did form my inward parts; You did weave me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well." (Psalm 139:13-14)

According to Evolutionists man has been on the earth for over one million years and according to the Bible man has only been on the earth for six thousand years. Based on our current population, which is correct? Scripture teaches that eight people in Noah’s ark survived the flood 4,300 years ago. Through known history we know that the average family produces 2.5 children per household which is lower than the average family for this century. The average life span through history has been 43 years per generation. This means that in 4,300 years there would have been 100 generations lasting 43 years each. Scientific calculations show, taking consideration of disease, natural disasters and wars, that the population of the world today would be around 6.3 billion worldwide.^325/414-426 The current world population as of July 18, 2003 is 6.351 Billion.

What would the population be if man had been on the earth 1 million years? This would mean that there would have been 23,256 generations in this time. This calculates to 10²⁰⁹¹ people. How large of a number is this? There are only 10⁸⁰ electrons in the known Universe. It is slightly, ya!, larger than this. If man had been living on the earth for over a million years, the population of the earth would be so large that we would literally be standing on a huge mountain of bones from the trillions and trillions and trillions of people who ever lived. Unfortunately the science of archaeology has not found a fraction of the trillions of skeletons that should be here if the theory of evolution were true. The story of the universal flood 4,300 years ago is in total agreement with the population of the world today.

*Hygiene & Sanitation Laws
     In The Old Testament

In Exodus 15:26 God promised the Israelites the following:

"And He said, ‘If you will give earnest heed to the voice of Yehovah your-Elohim, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, Yehovah, am your healer.’"

God promised the Israelites if they obeyed His commands to them they would not have any of the diseases they saw and certainly experienced In the land of Egypt.

Moses was a prince in Egypt, therefore he was educated in the universities and ways of Egypt. What were the ways of the Egyptians for dealing with sicknesses and diseases? There medical prescriptions included lizards, blood, swine’s teeth, putrid meat, stinking fat, moisture from pigs’ ears, milk, goose grease, ass’s hoofs, animal fats from various sources, excreta from animals, including human beings, donkeys, antelopes, dogs, cats, and even flies. The list of things I have just mentioned come from the Papyrus Ebers manuscript that was translated in S.E. Massengill’s A Sketch of Medicine and Pharmacy.^288/141

Some examples of Egyptian cures: for constipation was prescribed zizyphus bread, gurma, cat’s dung, sweet beer and wine. To treat a tumor they mixed fly dung with sycamore juice and applied it to the tumor. For a baby who cried too much they prescribed spn-seeds, fly dung from the wall which they made into a paste. Hot water was then poured and strained through this paste and given to the baby for four days. The crying ceased after the baby died from the deadly poison. Because of their lack of knowledge of germs and infection, their prescriptions brought death rather than a cure. Study of other cultures showed similar prescribed cures.

When the Israelites left Egypt, were these Egyptian cures what Moses prescribed to the Israelites for their problems and infections? No. What did Moses prescribe? Moses prescribed practices, over 613, which he recorded in the first five books of the Bible known as the Pentateuch or Torah,²⁹² which he claimed Yehovah-God gave him and that if followed would prevent them from having any of the diseases the Egyptians had suffered. These instructions of the Bible contain detailed medical laws that concerned the inspection of meat and exacting sanitation regulations regarding the handling of dead bodies and exposure to other natural petri dish circumstances for disease.

One must remember that man did not have the technology or instruments to know anything about microscopic germs or how these germs were passed from one person to another until the end of the last century. Doctors had believed that people contracted diseases by chance. If a person became sick, he was treated in the home without realizing that by doing so they were spreading the disease to everyone else in the home. This was because whoever was caring for the sick knew nothing about the importance of the need of sanitation before treating the next patient or touching a person in proximity of the patient. Dr I. Mcmillen in his book, None Of These Diseases, documents that in the mid 1800's that the death of women after giving birth in hospitals was tremendously high. Again this was because after delivering a baby, without properly cleaning them selves, the doctors and nurses would go to the next patient and handle them with the germs and diseases they had just picked up from the previous patient.

Before the exodus both the Egyptians and the Israelites, without any knowledge of the importance of cleaning their dishes and utensils would daily eat out of the same dishes. However, after the exodus, Moses through God’s instruction told the Israelites that they were not to prepare food in pottery that was cracked where germs could cultivate but that they were to throw it away. He also instructed them that after eating out of bronze vessels that the vessel was to be scoured and rinsed in water before being reused (Leviticus 6:28). Concerning animal carcasses, in Leviticus Chapter 11 Moses makes plain that if the dead carcass of an animal touches anything that they eat out of, that it is to be destroyed and no longer used for cooking or eating. In Leviticus 7:24 Moses forbids the people to eat of any animal that has died naturally or by other wild animals.

If someone came into contact with a dead person, they would be declared unclean and would have to live outside the camp for seven days. On the third and seventh day they were to wash themselves with running water (Numbers 19:5-17). This water contained the ashes of the Red Heifer that had been burned with cedar, hyssop and scarlet thread. As a result these ashes first of all contained cedar oil that came from a kind of juniper tree that grew in both Israel and in the Sinai. This cedar oil irritated the skin which encouraged the person to rub the solution into their hands. The hyssop tree, associated with mint and possibly marjoram, would produce hyssop oil. Hyssop oil is actually a very effective antiseptic and antibacterial agent. Hyssop oil contains 50% carvacrol which is an antifungal and antibacterial agent that is used in medicine today.^288/153 The person who touched the dead body was to be cleansed with this purification water which cleansed and disinfected him.

This applied especially in times of war. If anyone killed someone or touched a dead person, not only were they to do the above, but they were also to do it to their captives and any leather, anything woven of goats’ hair and anything made of wood (Numbers 31:19-20). Whatever could be cleansed through direct application to fire was to be done so and then cleansed with the water of purification to insure that it was disinfected. If it could not be put through fire, such as clothes, it was to be washed and run through water on the third and seven day. Then and only then could they reenter the camp (Numbers 31:23-24).

The Israelites were also commanded to clean themselves in running water anytime they came into contact with fluids of the body such as a discharge. Not only where they to bathe themselves but they were to wash their clothes as well (Leviticus 15:13).

Disease such as Leprosy, for which they had no known cure except God’s supernatural healing if He so chose, were permanently quarantined from the rest of the camp so as not to spread the disease to others (Leviticus 13:43-46). It was not until this century that man realized the importance of quarantining patients with highly contagious diseases from the rest of society.

If a leper became healed, in order to be reinstated in society, first the priest had to inspect him to see that yes indeed he was healed. Then Leviticus 14:8-9 records,

"The one to be cleansed shall then wash his clothes and shave off all his hair, and bathe in water and be clean. Now afterward, he may enter the camp, but he shall stay outside his tent for seven days. And it will be on the seventh day that he shall shave off all his hair: he shall shave his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair. He shall then wash his clothes and bathe his body in water and be clean."
