The Cross in Our Bodies

I remember so many times thinking… 'How can ANYONE deny that a Creator did all of this?'

How can we trust that God; who created all this, also has the power to hold our bodies all together when things seem to be falling apart. Actually, our human body is held together by laminins.

Here is how Wikipedia describes them:

"Laminins are a family of proteins that are an integral part of the structural scaffolding of basement membranes in almost every animal tissue. Laminins are what hold us together... LITERALLY. They are cell adhesion molecules. They are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we would literally fall apart. And I knew all this already. But what I didn't know is what they look like a cross."

This IS NOT a 'Christian portrayal' of it. If you look up "laminin" in any scientific/medical piece of literature, this is what you will see. The shape of a Cross!

Just as mentioned in Colossians 1:15-17 –

The Supremacy of the Son of God

15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

New International Version (NIV)

We are held together... One cell to another.... By a Cross!
