No Substitute for Human Blood

I find it amazing! With all the technology we have at our disposal, there is no such thing as artificial blood. Doctors can do amazing things: build artificial hearts, transplant organs, re-attach fingers and toes. But there is still no such thing as a human blood substitute. Donate today.

God has created the human body in such a fantastic way. If one little thing goes wrong in your body and you can’t make a specific protein or enzyme, your blood won’t clot properly. The placenta creates a barrier that protects a mother from her baby’s blood, but allows nourishment to be passed to the growing human. It all points to the Creator and his intelligent design.

Recently I’ve decided that I’m going to play “Zombies, Pedal Faster!” because I want to hear the rest of the story. I’m still trying to work out the kinks because sometimes it’s hard to hear the story while I’m bike riding.
