WONDER OF WONDERS

WONDER OF WONDERS Power and Perfection of God LOOKING at the human body from a purely physical point of view, one finds that it is just made up of water, carbon, oxygen and some other chemical elements. One can even work out, as scientist Robert Pattison has done, the price of material constituents of the human body. According to his calculations their market value is about six and a half US dollars, about four hundred Indian rupees today. Element Symbol Percentage in Body Oxygen O 65.0 Carbon C 18.6 Hydrogen H 9.5 Nitrogen N 3.2 Calcium Ca 1.5 Phosphorous P 1.0 Potassium K 0.4 Sulfur S 0.3 Sodium Na 0.2 Chlorine Cl 0.2 Magnesium Mg 0.1 Trace elements include Boron, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Fluorine, Iodine, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Selenium, Silicon, Tin, Vanadium and Zinc B, Cr, Co, Cu, F, I, Fe, Mn, Mo, Se, Si, Sn, V, Zn Less than 1.0 Yet out of this four hundred rupees worth of matter, God has created a human being so wonderful that no price can be set upon him. Not even four hundred billion rupees can buy the priceless masterpiece that God has fashioned within the human frame. One can appreciate the pricelessness of the human body when some part of it is lost. If one loses a hand, for instance, millions of dollars will not buy a new one like it. If one loses one’s sight, all the wealth in the world will not win it back. If one’s power of speech fails one, there will be no tongue in the shops of the world which will put one’s thoughts into words.
