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, culture just like liver cell is different from kidney cell but we humans need to be connected and help each other
Gbam, only a fool will say there is no God and those who say there's no God deserve to be flogged with koboko laden with chilly pepper and acid grin

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

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.
