Blood is not merely a red colored substance, it is ALIVE! Looking at a drop of blood with the naked eye does no justice to what lies within. The familiar red fluid in the body that contains white and red blood cells, platelets, proteins, antibodies and other elements is a life source for all animals including mankind.
For twelve years of my life I worked in a hospital Hematology laboratory performing clinical testing on blood for the purpose of diagnosing illnesses. I loved it. The tiny world under the microscope still to this day captures my imagination. I own my own laboratory microscope at home where I continue to diagnosis diseases using it.
The Bible speaks so much of blood, starting in Genesis with the murder of Abel by his brother Cain.
Genesis 4:1He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground.
The Hebrew word for "crying" is צָעַק tsa`aq {tsaw-ak'} which means:
1) to cry, cry out, call, cry for help
1a) (Qal)
1a1) to cry, cry out (for help)
1a2) to cry, cry out (in distress or need)
1a3) to make outcry, clamour
1b) (Niphal) to be summoned
1c) (Piel) to cry aloud (in grief)
1d) (Hiphil) to call together
A primitive root; to shriek; (by implication) to proclaim (an assembly):— X at all, call together, cry (out), gather (selves) (together). 1
Some may say that this term is merely poetic, but I say it is scientific. Does blood cry out or proclaim? If so how?
Every human being has unique DNA only identical twins have the same DNA. Your blood "proclaims" or "cries out" to the world who you are, who your parents and grandparents are, where your people migrated from, what genetic illness you have inherited and if you leave it somewhere... it proclaims where you were. It has not been until modern times with the advent of DNA testing that we realized how much our blood really "says" about us. As we travel smaller and smaller the human genome has opened up surprising doors. Well for the Christian they were not surprising doors. Modern genetics have now told us that all humans alive today came from one woman.... and that all men came from one man. Now I am not saying this.... my DNA is speaking for me and you, and every human live today. Now this discovery has upset many, and now the rush is on to smash the square peg of Darwinism in this new round hole. This round hole is that all people on planet earth came from one man and one woman. But is it a new round hole?... No this is not new it was told simply to us from the beginning by God. Imagine all the time and money that has been spent on something that was already known. We have discovered many beautiful things about our DNA and genome and the complexity of it all. That there is no "junk DNA" we were just too scientifically immature to know what we were looking at.
Acts 17:26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,
It is becoming very apparent that there is "Intelligence" behind our design to many in the scientific community. That the idea of a "Mastermind" behind design is not a childish notion but a fact. The numerous crime shows and CSI series have given most people a small glimpse into the world of DNA. Where everyday people can see for themselves that yes our blood does indeed cry out, and proclaim, and shout out in grief even when we are no longer alive to speak for ourselves.
Leviticus 17:1111 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’As we see the great importance of blood it may make it easier to understand the significance of the blood of Christ.
1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
Ephesians 2:1 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Revelation 1:5-6 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Luther Conigliarro and Wayne Guida discuss Genetic Entropy and its relationship to Evolution.
They also discuss the “Age of the Earth” relative to Biblical teachings.
Do these topics/issues really matter to those who believe in God?
