【特稿】偉大的生命設計師

 

我們的血、耳、眼、心、腦,說明生命的神奇;基因、染色體、嬰孩,見證上帝的傑作。

參考經文:
● 我的肺腑是你所造的;我在母腹中,你已覆庇我。(詩139:13)
● 我要稱謝你,因我受造,奇妙可畏。你的作為奇妙,這是我心深知道的。(詩139:14)
● 我在暗中受造,在地的深處被聯絡。那時,我的形體並不向你隱藏。(詩139:15)
● 我未成形的體質,你的眼早已看見了。你所定的日子,我尚未度一日﹝或作我被造的肢體尚未有其一﹞,你都寫在你的冊上了。(詩139:16)

嬰兒,體內細胞二千億個;胚胎伊始,卻只是受精卵一個。卵細胞與肉眼看不見的精子結合後,開始建築「人」的身體。用什麼材料?──母親的血。

母親的血造成眼睛之角膜及水晶體,正如砂與鉀製成玻璃般;可玻璃必須攝氏一千多度才能造成,這神奇美妙的建築工程卻要如何孕育?

受精胚胎一分為二......法國生物學家羅斯唐(Jean Rostand,1894 -1977)讚嘆道:「第一次分裂之奇妙,無以倫比!」......二分為四,四分為八......,不斷分裂......,形成一個由無數細胞組成的胚胎。胚胎以血 -- 僅有的材料,組織成身體一切之器官。

耳朵的構造
人的耳朵,一具精致袖珍的琴;六千條弦,最長半公厘,最短二十分之一公厘;每一條弦都?得恰到好處。一萬八千個特別細胞,長滿了三十萬根細絲,異常敏銳的聽覺神經,可聽的音域達到四十個音階。

喔!何等奇妙的工程,何等奇妙的設計!

神奇的眼睛
人的眼睛,任何精確的照相機都無法比擬;這架天成的照相機,自動換片、以每秒鐘十次的速度──自動調整光圈、不斷自我保養、分秒自我修護。

內臟的精密
人的心臟,巨大的吸壓唧筒,每日跳動十萬次,每年吸壓血液一百萬加侖!

人的胃袋,消化一切肉類、水果、穀物及山珍海味,卻不會將自己消溶其中!五百萬個細胞,更勝於任何的工廠,製造十二種化學元素,消化吞吃各樣的食物。

人的腸子,好似四千萬個類似的工廠。人的肝臟,內藏細胞三百五十億個,能消化吸收食物,能產生多種抗生素抵禦疾病侵襲。

喔!奧妙無比的偉大杰作,驚人的設計!

無以倫比的人腦
最令人驚異的是控制奇妙機器的腦──一個活生生的頭腦。

法國生物學家羅斯唐曾說:「千絲萬縷頭腦,有千千萬萬個細胞,每一細胞都是小宇宙。」

每一小小宇宙,電子顯微鏡均可辨識其組織系統;每個細胞中,都是奇妙的、精密的迷你工廠!人的頭腦,比任何人工電腦更完美、更精細;極小的電流(腦子所發的電),能產生極敏銳的感受反應。

感官所受的刺激轉換成知覺──柔嫩、粗糙、硬軟;轉換成味覺──甜美、甘飴、苦澀;

轉換成視覺──色彩、刺眼、明暗;轉換成聽覺──天籟、雷轟、鳥語。

喔!何等神奇的杰作,教人敬畏的設計!

細胞的微妙
分裂過程中,細胞基因染色體(chromosome)──身體中的小小建築師;決定哪些細胞應該變成骨胳?哪些細胞應該變為肌肉!泥匠用磚砌墻,磚並不是他製造出來的;胚胎則不然,所有的細胞都是它自己造作的。

這些細胞不僅功能不同,並且形狀各異,形形色色、不一而足、因應任務所需。微小細胞初始直徑零點一公厘(0.1mm),最終變成四肢五官齊全的「我」,其中變化億兆萬千,毫不含糊、毫無混亂,這樣的偉大工程,怎不令人讚嘆?

生命的設計
游離母腹後,「哇!哇!」無助聲裡,忽聞一股濃郁沁心的乳香,受刺激的腦神經,帶動了身體上的每一寸肌肉,雙眼微睜,滿臉皺紋的毛頭,轉向那心跳傳動的出處,頭一遭,驚喜尋見創造生命的主周詳密布的程式定律──嬰兒的哭聲與母乳脹溢同步運行。

天賜玉露、初乳增強了我體內的免疫機能;豐滿胸懷、慈手撫摸減輕了我鬱鬱不安的神經;
柔聲細語、耳鬢呵護呢喃;心靈悸動,情海深處迴旋蕩漾; 再一次,驚奇發現創造生命的主仁慈智慧的程式定律──嬰兒吸吮乳房與產婦子宮收縮同步運作。

喔!奇妙的主,偉大的生命設計師!
