details." By the eighth week, all the embryo's major body parts have
been formed, and it turns into a fetus. 107
And when the cell needs to divide, the entire tape [DNA] must be split
apart, duplicated and repackaged for each daughter cell. No one knows
exactly how cells solve this topological nightmare. 108
Predetermined solutions exist for all kinds of problems inside the
cell, and these have been recorded inside the genetic information con-

tained in the very first cell. Each of these features is evident proof of
how human beings are created in a perfect manner. There are even
more miracles of creation that could not possibly be covered in this
book.
Another of the astonishing features in the cell is that not all the ge-
netic program is constantly active. You might expect all the genetic in-
formation to be ready for use. But in that event, every cell would pro-
duce only copies of itself, resulting in masses of only one type of cell.
The reason why there is such a variety of cells produced, all with dif-
ferent functions, is the genes' property of being switched on and off.
Genes are like sentences written in a chemical language. Each cell
opens up only part of the genes in a chromosome and "reads" only that
open section. The rest
