That dream part is a lie,scientist still finds it difficult to explain how dream works
I once had a dream, woke up,went back to sleep and continue the same dream
And my dream often comes to pass,things scientist can’t really explain
Metaphysics explains all of that.

And 24-72 hours after death — the internal organs decompose. 3-5 days after death — the body starts to bloat and blood-containing foam leaks from the mouth and nose. 8-10 days after death — the body turns from green to red as the blood decomposes and the organs in the abdomen accumulate gas.
What if u embalm it immediately would that still happen

Inteltower:
not even big bang theory could answer to the encoded intelligence in human DNA..
why the frame work design ?

Atheist want us to assume that cells/matter conceived itself of intelligence.

Darwinist would say we come from apes because we share a percentage level of DNA then how will they explain a pigs DNA that also has same level of DNA with humans ?

If you find it hard believing in God then ask why how you were designed


The ignorance in this post lol

1. Humans didn't come from apes. Humans are hominids. So HUMANS ARE APES.

You are committing a logical fallacy called "Argument from ignorance." We don't know it therefore god did it. A lot of things attributed to this fallacy are now explainable by the scientific method. Example? Rain, Thunder, The moon, The sun etc.

Science is the future and religion will die.

Dear Atheists,
How can someone say "There is No God"
Just look at this miraculous complex machine called Human Body and still say
There is no God
Even doctors know that A Creator Designed each complex part of the Body.
Each organ has different cells but are still in harmony and connected to each other. Feeding each other and sharing the nutrients to every cell in the body.
This is how heaven was designed, each community in heaven has a different role and function but they all connected just like organs have different functions but are connected to each other.
Why can't mankind learn from the human body??!
We are different by race,religions and culture just like liver cell are TOTALLY different from kidney cell but we humans need to be connected and HELP each other just like the cells in our body..
We share so many similarities with the cells of our body. We should learn from them because
We fight wars just like the cells in our body fight and defend their territory from bacteria invaders.
If the liver stops working, then the kidney will fail then the other organs join and shut down which brings death of the human body.
Cancer is caused when an organ is not in co operation with other organs just like humans it becomes isolated and form rebel groups just like humans do( Isis, boko haram)
These cancer cells(rebels) destroy the human body just like rebels destroy the nation with war attacks..

If trillions of different cells can coexist in harmony the make up a HEALTHY HUMAN BODY
Imagine if the cells of the heart collect 100% nutrients and only share only 5% to the rest of the cells of body the cells turn cancerous and stop working with each other in harmony you will have a SICK HUMAN BODY..
God Created Human Body with his image, that image is for all his creations with their unique talents and contributions to Come Together and Coexist in Harmony. Only then will Earth and mankind experience PEACE!!!


Lol the intelligent design argument from theist has long been debunked. A quick Google search "intelligent design argument debunked" will clear your delusion.


I could name 15 body parts and organs I could have done better if I was god and I'm not even an engineer.

Volume of blood in an adult human body: 5-6 litres

The heart beats about 35 million times in a year. During an average lifetime, the human heart will beat more than 2.5 billion times.

If all arteries, veins, and capillaries of the human circulatory system were laid end to end, the total length would be 60,000 miles, or 100,000 km. That’s nearly two and a half times around the Earth!

Human hair grows about 1/4 inch (about 6 millimeters) every month and keeps on growing for up to 6 years. The hair then falls out and another grows in its place.

The fastest growing hair in the human body is the facial hair (beards)

Women’s heart beat faster than men’s.

The strongest organ in our body is the
tongue.

The female left breast is larger than the right

Women blink twice as much as men. The average person blinks around 13 times a minute.

The left lung is smaller than the right.

About 80 percent of the brain tissue is water.

The brain is only 2% of our body weight, but needs more oxygen that any other organ, what makes it the most vulnerable in a case of lack of oxygen. 7 seconds without oxygen to the brain will result in passing out. 4 minutes will result in death.

The brain can hold up to 1,00 terabytes of information – which is equivalent to 15 national libraries!

The brain is more active at night than in the day.

A dream lasts for just 2- 3 seconds.

The lifespan of the hair is 3-7 years. Some authors say 3 to 6 years.

The strongest muscles in the body are the heart, uterus, soleus, gluteus maximus, and masseter. Some authors say the tongue is the strongest muscle.

We shed and regrow our skin every 27 days.

Humans, Primates and Koalas are the only creatures in nature with fingerprints.

The fastest growing nail is the nail on the 3rd finger of your dominant hand.

Man’s testicles produce over 10,000,000 sperm cells everyday. this is enough sperm to repopulate the entire earth population within 6 months.

At age 35, the human body loses about 7,000 brain cells everyday. Lost brain cells cannot be replaced.

Conclusion: The Human Anatomy is far more complex than this. Science is on the march to unravel more. #Science facts only#

The knowledge of medicine came from God. Jesus proved this as he was a Healer..
JESUS HEALED THE SICK WITHOUT SCIENCE
Science is good.. The real pioneers of Science were Magicians and Astronomers that looked up to heaven for Divine knowledge
Who gave them that knowledge?
Astronomers believe in God and all mathematics and physics revolved around the mysteries of the Universe.
Its God that gave Moses the knowledge on how to heal the snake bitten Israelites.
So just know that the fore fathers of Science recieved divine knowledge from God..
Ancient Egypt was far advanced than our current civilization and they still believe that there is a Divine Creator they called Anun which is represented by the Sun.
All knowledge comes from God. The deeper science goes the more they confirm that there is a Supreme Creator..

The technology they had was called magic.
Even in the bible when moses turned his staff to a snake, the Egyptian magicians turned their own staff into snakes..
This magic or technology was introduced by the magicians and astronomers which are the same with today's modern day scientists..
This same technology was used to build the great pyramid of Giza. Which no amount of our modern technology can recreate.
A lot of knowledge of these ancient technology has been kept secret by the powerful leaders of our time.
So it looks like Egypt was a village and desert.
But it was the centre of knowledge and technology
Jesus spent his teenage years in Egypt
The worlds greatest library was Alexandra library in Egypt.
A lot of our new advancement in technology are inspired from ancient knowledge of past civilizations that were more advanced..
