Bodyworlds

Bodyworlds is an exhibition of human bodies that have been preserved through a process known as plastination. There are three exhibits that tour the world at major museums and galleries. Vancouver's Science Center managed to nab the 3rd of the exhibitions for a few months.

We went this afternoon. It was absolutely amazing. If it comes to a city near you, you should definitely check it out. It is even worth a special trip by plane or car.

Psalm 8 is printed out in big letters on one wall. There is a body of a man kneeling, praying in front of a cross. The accompanying explanantion says that Christianity made anatomy possible, because of a decree made by a pope at some time.

My 2 favourite exhibits were a human brain, with the entire nervous system attached and a body that was completely covered in all the veins that we have.

As I wandered through the exhibits I wondered how people could deny there was an intelligent creator behind the complex designs of creation. I guess it could be possible to believe that one of the systems in the human body could have evolved through the cycle of time+chance+matter, but it begs credulity to believe that all the systems in the human body could have evolved from chance. And all the systems, work together perfectly.

Body Worlds is also featured in Casino Royale - Bond goes into the exhibit, but I forget what he doe sin there.

Psalm 8

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
What is man that You take thought of him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
And You crown him with glory and majesty!
