I saw one of the most disgusting yet fascinating things today. In my Life Science class, we got to examine a dissected human cadaver. I thought I would be completely grossed out after one look, but after studying the body for 15 minutes, I actually came away from the class completely captivated by the complexity of the human body.
I was pretty proud that I decided to go into the cadaver lab in the first place considering that during the hour beforehand, I could barely even look at the rat my lab partner and I were dissecting. Clarification--that she was dissecting. I refused to come within a two-foot radius of the rodent.
Upon entering the cadaver lab, the smell of preservatives made me sick to my stomach. Eventually, however, I got used to it, and I began to notice the complexity of the body before me. I won't go into all the details for those of you who have weak stomachs, but let me just say that the inside of a human body is absolutely amazing.
Seeing how all the organs, muscles, bones, and veins fit together only furthered my belief that there has to be a God out there who knows what he's doing and who could make such an intricate body. As crazy as I feel for admitting this, I'm thankful that God let me see that cadaver today. It reassured and reminded me that God really does know and care about every single detail in my life.
