THE MIRACLE OF HUMAN CREATION

The egg is produced in an organ with every aspect having been es-
pecially designed for this purpose: the ovary. In every woman, there are
two ovaries, one on the right and one on the left. In these ovaries, there is
a space, big enough for nerve fibres and blood vessels and lymphatic
ducts to enter and exit. Inside this space, there are fibrous tissues rich in
blood. For the egg cells to be formed safely, they must be nourished and
protected by these tissues. Within this protective structure, there are many
sacs (follicles) of varying sizes. In every follicle there is one primary egg
cell. But only a single mature ovum is normally released from the ovaries
each month so that only a single foetus can begin to grow at a time.
But this production does not consist of only one stage. In order for this
egg cell to mature, a few developments must occur, one after the other. In
order for the primary egg cell to maturate and become reproductive cells,
one division by mitosis and two divisions by meiosis must occur, and in a
definite series without confusion. As a result of the divisions, a difference in
the number of chromosomes in the cell occurs and different types of cells
are formed. As is the case with male reproductive cells, in the female, too,
the 46 chromosomes in the primary egg cells are reduced to 23.

At the side we see the

representation of a
tiny egg cell the size of
zona pellucida a grain of salt, which
is one of the most im-
portant elements that
go into the formation
of a human being. The
system required for
the formation of this
single cell, is found in
every female alive in
the world today, as it
has been found in all
haploid nucleus females who have ever
of egg lived. This is God's
flawless creation.
