BodyWorlds is Worlds of Fun & Knowledge

Last weekend, Jeff, Jen and I went to BodyWorlds 3 now touring in SLC. Aside from the sardines in a can feeling... Excluding the two people who fainted... Remove the dumb chick who is trying to swim upstream in the exhibit... It was AMAZING!!!!

I found this exhibit to be so interesting. My favorite parts were:
1) Seeing the blood vessels. I had no clue how many there were and how they envelope.

2) Seeing the internal organs outside of the body but still all laid out in the exact placement. I have seen the internal organs in pictures and individual organs up close, but to see them together all connected, up close and personal like that was very very interesting to me.

3) To see the nodes of the lungs. This was especially interesting to me because my Momma had 2 nodes of one of her lungs removed. It explained how this surgery could be done.

4) To see the growth of a fetus. I loved all the perfect detail in those babies even while in the womb.

I gained further knowledge that we were created by God. There is no way that we evolved. With all the detail, the specific functions performed by each organ, the timing of things. The idea of evolution is just someone's frustrated attempt to justify their thoughts of no God. It would be far better for them to recognize there is a God and then learn why this life is what it is.

I am so grateful that I know that there is a God. That he is my Father. That he created this earth for me to prove myself. That I was given a mortal body to live in here on this earth. I am grateful to understand this mortal probation is meant for me to be tested. There are trials here. But I will not misunderstand those trials to determine there is no God.
