Introduction to Intelligent Design.

At a very precise moment nine months after conception, a hormone leaves the unborn child's brain. It soon travels all the way across the placenta,enters the maternal circulation, and then happily makes it way to the mother's pituitary gland. Although this hormone is very complicated and convoluted chemical, its message is very quite simple: I'm ready, start the delivery process. My lungs have matured enough to breathe on their own, my heart is strong enough to assume control, my gastrointestinal tract is prepared to process food, and my brain is eager to start learning about the world. My ten trillion cells are put to work together. It's the new unborn child, and not the mother, who makes the decision. Then all the sudden, the mother and child orchestrates there new journey together. Lets think, this is not a spontaneous event Or is it?. The mother's body began preparations in the instant the sperm entered a specific egg. Her uterus, now very large and is stretched very hard to accommodate the growing fetus, and is ready to be squeezed down and push. The small baby's head has been shifted downward with its arms at its sides and legs tucked in so that it can more easily pass through the birth canal. Only 3.5 perfect of human babies present feet first. The mother's breasts are engorged with milk and food. Endorphins are flowing fastly to help with the discomfort; the hormones are giving her strong maternal instincts. Her vagina has held a secreteded special glycogen to prevent infection. A connection between the pelvic bones loosens to help the bone portions of the canal expand. Every maternal instinct has been primed. Every system is focused on success. At first, the contractions come very slowly, as if the uterus were warming up, but they quickly crescendo to more frequent and forcefully squeezes. A myriad of different chemicals and hormones prompt and support every action and movment as billions of muscle cells wor togeather in unison to break the bag of waters, and dilate the opening in the cervix and deliver a new child.

The journey is often cited as the most dangerous moment in a persons life. Indeed it may be, yet every aspect of the process is well-coordinated,prearranged,rehearsed for millennias,and designed to bring new life into being. Even the seams in the baby's skull bones have not yet fused together, so that its unusually large head will be pliable enough to make it through. As the process unfolds, the adrenal glands add a blast of stress hormones to help the infant cope. The newborn child will not breathe until it has cleared the birth canal. Anything sooner would lead to certain suffocation. It also will not wait too long. Rising carbon dioxide levels and falling oxygen concentrations will prompt that first breath. Otherwise, there could easily be be permanent brain damage. The inner workings of every newborn know precisely when to breath, how deeply to breathe, and how to clear the debris inhaled from the amniotic sac.

Moments before the mother and child completely disconnect, the newborn receives a last-minute blood transfusion from the umbilical cord. The placenta, which has been purposefully storing nutrients for this moment, infuses extra nourishment. And there is evidence that the fetus sends some of its own stem cells into the mother's bloodsteam. These newly discovered microchimmera stem cells seem to be purposefully left behind to help maintain the mother's good health. The childs survival might depend on it.

Every step is preprogrammed. Medical folks like to say they deliver a baby, but they mostly catch it. As a newborn takes it first breath into the new world, two tiny flaps inside its heart automatically close off a hole between the right side and the left side of that organ, which then routes unoxygenated blood to the brand newly functioning lungs. A large blood vessel that connects the aorta to the lungs also automatically seals off. The artery in the umbilical cord shifts to servicing the new bladder. The placenta detaches on cue and follows the baby out. If it were to precede the child or detach prematurely, the consequences could be disastrous. Death. Soon, the baby's remnants of the umbilical cord dries up and falls away, and of course, If any of these steps were to fail to occur or did not follow the right order, the human race would never have existed. They are very complex, all-or none phenomenon, an improbably collection of coincidences!

The baby arrives with a vernix thick coating to protect its skin. It also comes with natural sucking reflex, and the mother's first milk is purposefully loaded with all the right nutrients, minerals,vitamins, and of course, host of required antibodies. The newborn easily fits so perfectly into the crooks of its mothers' arm, where the breast and nipple are strategically situated and it instinctively knows how to nurse upon her breast. This is, obivously, the process everyone of us has to follow to travel here. Very specific and very precise, these instructions have been passed down from generation to generation. The whole process is beyond complexity; it is an evolutionary impossibility.

If you honestly believe that these preprogrammed, constantly changing, and these interdependent series of all complex cellular events from conception all the way to birth could have simply just come out, about by trail and error,survival of the fittest, or a series of extremely lucky accidents of nature, there's no need for you to read on what am about to explain to you. Cause you won't like it. If you should read on however, please continue to always ask yourself a question: What could possibly have been intermediary,successful steps (links about evolution) beforehand. As for my further writings, please note I will, however, in some cases, may use book materials, as of this one, or sources to explain my thoughts or views. With closing, I look forward to more writing. Enjoy
