Hands

The human hand is an astoundingly complex and amazingly versatile part of our body. Nearly a decade was devoted to developing an artificial hand to replicate even a few of the things the human hand can do. Robotics engineers, research scientists and design specialists undertook the Autonomous Robotic Manipulation project in cooperation with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Harvard University and Yale University. They discovered that “…creating robot hands with even a fraction of human capabilities has proved an elusive goal.” The amazing dexterity and sensitivity of the human hand is a marvel. More than 30 muscles and thousands of nerve endings manipulate 29 flexible joints. With those it can play a piano, read Braille and thread a needle. They sense hot and cold, smooth and rough, strength of grip or gentleness of touch and more. We really learn to appreciate what our hands can do when we lose the ability to use them. All of our lives they have responded instantly to a vast myriad of tasks we expect of them. How can we possibly entertain even the thought that they developed by chance and natural selection as evolutionists claim? Skilled scientists used years of work and huge sums of money to accomplish a fraction of what the hand can do. None of what they did came by itself. Therefore it stands to reason that hands are the product of a Master Designer who says: “We are fearfully and wonderfully made.” Ps. 139:14

We will be held accountable for what we do with them.

The sunny side has been handed to us.
