This concept presents that amino acids are the buildings blocks of life. These blocks of life organize into proteins, and these proteins are synthesized to produce organic molecules. These organic molecules formed the first life on earth. I respect the scientific concepts of how life started, but I believe that life came from God. He was the one who created the world and everything that is in it. • Human life cycle: Consist of four stage which are birth, grow, adult, and elderly. Life starts as a fertilized egg, and then it becomes a fetus. The fetus overpasses a lot of changes inside the mother’s womb until it becomes a baby. Then the baby starts to grow and becomes an adult. The adult becomes an old person until he or she dies. The human life cycle is a miracle because it is wonderful to see how a fertilize egg can become a person. • How do we breathe: We breathe with the help of our diaphragm and other muscles in our chest and abdomen. Without oxygen we could not breathe because all of our cells require oxygen in order to grow, move and turn food into energy. It is so important to keep in mind that our nose plays a big role in the way we breathe and get oxygen from the outside to the inside. Breathing the right way and a clean air makes our bodies’ cells relax and stay healthy. • How Nature helps us: Nature is the natural, physical and material world, and it refers to life in general. Nature helps us survive, the food chain starts in nature, and it let us breathe fresh air. We also get energy from the sun, from the fruits and from the vegetables that we obtain from plants and trees. We need to respect nature as part of respecting ourselves and future generations. God provided us with a big universe full of nature for us to enjoy. Nature itself is a miracle because God supplies our needs in nature.
