Battle in the blood:
hostile invaders immobilised,
stabbed, or eaten:
fever, fatigue, headache
aching muscles,
hot and tossing,
cold, mind buzzing:

crisis as invaders beaten,
sudden sweating,
body cooling
calming thinking,
fighting forces retreat
with acquired information –
memory-equipment retained
this enemy to quickly defeat
if it comes again.

Thank you for the cherries! Rhiannon

I would love to have your knowledge of biochemistry. In high school I had biology it was Ok. The human anatomy and physiology I found extremely boring the girl sitting next to me was a great deal more interesting. The study of animals wasn't so bad but plant science it started getting better.

Then we started the study of cells, cytology, it was fascinating it was real-life Scifi. For a project I made a 3D model a cell cut open showing the inside and all the organelles from kid's playing clay it was beautiful but the teacher didn't think so much of it. Then we also had a bit of basic biochemistry and all the life cycles like for instance photosynthesis and transpiration it was interesting but was very difficult.

Chemistry too I would like to know more of I just did first year university and in the end didn't even do so well.

Rhiannon sometimes I wonder how you can reconcile your training as scientist with church teaching I don't think I would manage.

Good day! Congratulations on the Cherries! Tom Brown

That making of a model of something of the intricacies of one little cell sounds fascinating, Tom. When you get down to that detail, and then something of those biochemical pathways  and how their controlled, it is not only difficult but one realises that however much we try to understand no-one can comprehend it all fully.

And that is part of the reason I have no hesitation at all in realising that it couldn't have come to such intricacy by chance, or gradually, but there was/is a Designer, very skilful, very clever. Mistakes or mutations only hinder, and the amount of new information needed for any new structures is just amazing and could never have arisen bit-by-bit!!

I've written some pieces on biochemistry etc which are in my 'Grand Designs' collection.

Your studies sound very exciting. The currency of science is not truth, but doubt.

All the same, interresting little chat! Tom

Interestingly it is not the facts of science and experiments that are in conflict with creation, but the interpretation – some have a philosophy of evolution by chance, but God says he created the main kinds at the beginning. The scientific facts are not in conflict with that. Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon

This is a very good summary of the body's defences.  I really enjoyed reading it.

Thank you, Jean. Rhiannon

Our bodies are extraordinary; made up of microscopic little cells that have their jobs cut out for them, and the ones that fight the ones that are foreign invaders trying to take over, are most incredible of all. 
A physician himself, my husband used to say that to him, in his mind's eye, these cells were as huge as the woods I would sketch, just  as large, just as beautifully intricate, or turned, can be as deadly as a fiery dragon. 
i love your poem.          Marcia

Thank you very much, Marcia. I think so few people realise the marvellous intricacy of each cell and their workings. And it gives some indication of how great God must be, and his wisdom to understand and help.

As I told Tom above, I've written various pieces about that in my Grand Design collection.

regards, Rhiannon
