How a human face forms in the womb [pictures and video]
During the second and third month of gestation, a baby’s face comes together like a puzzle. Here are several still shots from an animation of the process created for the BBC’s show “Inside the Human Body”…
And here’s the clip these come from…

Amazing! Seeing pictures of babies in the womb always reminds me of this verse:
“For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
Psalm 139:13-16
Like, very much.
Who needs God when you have morphogenic substances. The magic of reality surpasses everything.
Anyone else get the whiff of Dawkins that just blew through here?
Richard Dawkins scientific method is good; however, his epistemological foundations are shaky. Granted, he is an engaging writer with a sharp wit, but what he offers is an evolutionary explanation of a particular form of intellectual development, serenely unware of how that explanation applies just as much to him as to anyone else. The thought never even crosses his mind. But I can’t fault him for this really. If he is (accidentally) right, there is no such thing as a mind to cross!
