Creation Moment 3/2/2024 - Chordomas Lesson

Chordomas is an EXAMPLE of what would see if Creation is true.
Q: Why?
A: Because since the perfect Creation, as SIN enters the world and breaks things down, we would expect to see cells going haywire and causing problems.

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together...... 
Romans 8:22

"Gary Sinise is honoring his late son McCanna Anthony "Mac" Sinise, who died from a rare form of cancer called chordoma. He was 33." ABC

"Chordomas can develop in anyone at any age, but they’re most likely to occur in adults aged 50 to 80. About 5% of cases affect children.
Men and people assigned male at birth are approximately 1.5 times as likely to have a chordoma as women and people assigned female at birth.
Chordomas are rare. They affect about 1 person for every 1 million people per year. That means that about 300 people receive a chordoma diagnosis each year in the United States. As a chordoma grows, it puts pressure on nearby areas of your spinal cord or brain. This pressure causes the symptoms of chordoma. Symptoms can also vary based on where the tumor is along your spine.
Researchers don’t know exactly why chordomas form. But they think changes (mutations) in the TBXT gene are likely involved.
A few families have had multiple members who’ve developed a chordoma. Studies revealed that these people inherited a duplication of the TBXT gene. Researchers have also identified changes in the TBXT gene in people with chordoma who have no family history of the condition.
A chordoma develops from cells of the notochord. This is a structure that’s present in a developing embryo and is important for the future development of its spine. The notochord usually disappears by the time the fetus is eight weeks old. But in a small percentage of people, a few notochord cells can remain embedded in the bones of the spine or the base of the skull.
A change in the TBXT gene may trigger the growth of these cells, leading to a chordoma."
