Biology 402, Embryology
your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
your eyes saw my .
All the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
(Psalm 139:13-16; NIV Bible)
King David, c. 1000 B.C.
and though all its parts are many, they form one body...
...God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them,
just as he wanted them to be.
(I Corinthians 12:12-18; NIV Bible)
Paul, c. 50 A.D.?
