Wayne Jackson's The Human Body-Accident Or Design

The Human Body - Accident or Design, Wayne Jackson, Courier Publications, pp129 The Human Body - Accident or Design by Wayne Jackson illustrates the Law of Teleology (where there is design, there must also be a designer) by verbally dissecting the human body, showing it’s intricacies, and proving that design must have brought about the many systems and functions which take place on a daily basis. Brother Jackson begins by first defining the Law of Teleology and looking at the nature of design. In doing so he sets forth the idea that man could not have been merely assembled together any more than a 747 might be accidentally assembled by a tornado sweeping through a junkyard. In fact, each and every system is so finely tuned and work

To start with, he quotes Psalm 139:14, 15 “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.” (NKJV) This is something he returns to many times throughout the course of the book. After going through the biblical view of our body’s creation, Brother Jackson then begins to discuss the organization of the body. He breaks down and explains the body into four levels: The smallest unit is the cell, next is the tissue which is a group of cells all working together, a group of tissues working together make up and organ, and lastly, a group of organs make up an entire system. The human body has over 60,000 billion cells and every single one of them is governed by the body’s collective operation. Brother Jackson goes on to give a detailed description of the cell and its functions, but for the sake of brevity, this author will only mention their complexity and dependence upon one another. With such a tightly organized system being employed, it is not at all likely cells would have been able to survive throughout the millions of years the evolutionists would give for the body to evolve without the systems they rely on to keep them alive and
