"According to isotope studies, 90% of our atoms are replaced annually. Every 5 yrs 100% of our atoms turn over; become new atoms...
In the last hour, 1 trillion trillion of your atoms have been replaced." Quote from the book 'More than meets the eye'.

Consider this for a moment. Our bodies are constantly regenerating each moment. How is it possible for our bodies to remain intact if it is changing 100% each 5 years? Evolutionists still have a hard time answering this question. How is the personality of the individual maintained? How are emotions retained in the new cells?

Everyone recognizes that the human body is made up of chemicals commonly found in dirt. But dirt can't perform the functions human beings can. You cannot produce any living organisms from simple compounds in dirt. There must be something else, some outside variable causing these attributes of a living being.

David M. Baughn M.D. says,
"We are continually being created from dust and returning to dust...we are no objects or machines that endure, we are patterns that have the capacity to perpetuate ourselves. WE are not things, instead we are processes." Quote from 'Contempary Scientific Principles and Family Medicine'.

At best we can only move it from one already living thing to another. Even in today's stem cell research we must take a living cell and place it within a living embryo to produce more cells.

Note the Bible has something to say of this.

Genesis 2:2 "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed in his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

Note in Genesis we are informed Jehovah God first formed man from the ground but then breathed in his nostrils the breath of life. This breath of life made man into a living soul. This would account our body having the chemicals commonly found in dirt, yet Jehovah God's breath of life would account to the outside attribute.

Genesis 2:21-22 "And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her to the man."

Note the story continues as Jehovah God caused man to fall into a deep sleep and took one of his ribs, closing up his flesh. Much like a surgeon would remove a kidney from a living donor. There is an old joke or belief questioning if God took a rib from Adam and put it Eve, then why doesn't all men have one less ribs than women? The answer is quite simple. If you loose a finger, does your new baby also have one less finger? Of course not, the man Adam would live the rest of his life with one less ribs, but his children would be born naturally with all their ribs.

The story continues, then Jehovah God takes the same rib and makes a woman. Later the man calls the new creature wo-man, meaning out of man. The man did this due to her being created out of his own flesh. I personally find this interesting. Why didn't God simply create a new creature from the ground and breathe again the breath of life? Later in the story, we are told man should leave his mother and cleave to the woman as a wife and the two shall be one. This is for another article.

The point would be again, a living creature was derived from another living creature. The other interesting thing I would like to point out is the Bible doesn't mention Jehovah God breathing the breath of life in the animals, plants, ect. We only see Man having the breath of life, causing him, the woman and his descendants to be a living soul. This would place man and woman in a different level than the other creatures found on Earth.
