point to stop, do not leave their place of duty, can work in a team, make
selections to meet certain needs and produce the requisite material at the
right time, are all cells. As we shall see in some detail later, in the acts of
these cells, which are too small to be seen by the naked eye, there is an ob-
vious intelligence, and this intelligence does not belong to the cells.
Cells composed of unconscious and lifeless atoms cannot have the capa-
city to think and make decisions. This supreme consciousness and intelli-
gence belong to God. To keep this truth continually in mind is important;
it is the means whereby the individual may deepen his awareness of the-
se wondrous occurrences, and witness God's eternal power.

The Body Continues to Take Shape
In the first days the embryo takes the nourishment it needs only from
the mother's blood. Now, in order to nourish its own body
and send oxygen to its cells, the embryo needs its own
circulatory system. So, in order to bring this system in-
to being, a number of cells make an instant decision
to cooperate, and begin to form the circulatory sys-
tem. This cell activity is a clear proof that they are
directed by an eternal intelligence and knowledge.
On about day 13, a group of cells moves into po-
sition where the chest will be to form the heart.
Arranging themselves into a U-shaped tube,
55. day
with a great level of awareness they
first establish the basic structure of 40. day

On the left we see the actual
33. day size of the embryo in the first
days of the development of a
26-27. days human being. It is surely God
Who causes a mass of cells
that can be measured in cen-
25. day timetres to develop into a
human being with a fully de-
23. day veloped body.
