I confess Thee, because that with wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful are Thy works...
Psalm 139:14 YLT
"The human skeleton has 206 exquisitely crafted bones, each shaped and
fit together with tendons, ligaments and muscles.
Consider
athletes using their skeletons to do pole vaulting, gymnastics, parkour,
skiing, ballet, high hurdles, and so much more. Then we’ll see how a
Darwinian evolutionist explains it.
Enter the Darwin Storyteller
Scales, scutes, and embryonic origins of the vertebrate dermal skeleton (Andrew Gillis, PNAS,
2 Aug 2023). According to Dr Gillis from the Marine Biology Institute
at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, all of the above wonders of the human
skeleton (and of every other vertebrate skeleton, from naked mole rat to
sauropod), began in the ocean long ago. A stem cell in the neural crest
in an ancient invertebrate “gave rise to” the osteoblast: the
specialized cell that builds bone. Presto: vertebrates were born!
Gillis was not there to see how the first
vertebrate came to be, but he wanders lustfully through the tomes of ancient magic
incantations, seeking which random mutation would turn a neural crest
cell into an osteoblast. Then he conjures up a vision in the crystal
ball where Darwin’s bearded visage sets the osteoblasts loose, flying
out like bats, proliferating and assembling into bones, skeletons and
body plans." CEH
