THE ATOM - (neutrons - natural, protons - positive, electrons - negative)
Number of protons = atomic number
Number of electrons = number of protons
Number of neutrons = mass – number of protons
Mass number = proton + neutrons, (mass in used interchangeably with atomic weight)
For a typical human of 70 kg (154lbs.), there are almost 7x10 to the 27th power atoms (that’s a 7 followed by 27 zeros!) Another way of saying this is “seven billion billion billion.” Of this, almost 2/3 is hydrogen, 1/4 is oxygen, and about 1/10 is carbon. These three atoms add up to 99% of the total!
Scientists concluded that the average human body contains approximately 37.2 trillion cells ! Of course, your body will have more or fewer cells than that total, depending upon how your size compares to the average human being, but that’s a good starting point for estimating the number of cells in your own body !
Calculating the Number of Atoms in a Cell . According to an estimate made by engineers at Washington University, there are around 10 to the 14th power atoms in a typical human cell . Another way of looking at it is that this is 100,000,000,000,000 or 100 trillion atoms . There is approximately 7.5 billion humans in this world we cohabitate.
“Because God is my sovereign Lord, I will not worry. He manages, perfectly, day and night, year in and year out, the movements of the stars, the wheeling of planets, the staggering coordination of events that goes on and on at a molecular level in order to hold all things together. There is no doubt, that He, can manage the timing of my days and weeks.” Elisabeth Elliot
Our God is an awesome God! He reigns, supreme!
Colossians 1:15-17 (HCSB)
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
16 For everything was created by Him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have been created through Him and for Him.
17 He is before all things, and by Him all things HOLD together.
