Unique Brain

You are Special!

In Jer. 1: 5 it says "I chose you before I gave you life..."

Just imagine, my name was called in the universe even before I was conceived. I am special because 1 out of 100 mil. sperm cells outperformed the others to penetrate an egg cell, which formed me!

The following info just emphasise our uniqueness. (The following is a quotation, but I didn't pen the author's name down - sorry)
"One of the wonders of human development is the manner in which the human brain , which consists of over 100 billion neurons, can develop so quickly from just a few initial neural cells. During the time the brain is growing "in Utero" it must be generating neurons at a rate of more than 250 000 per minute. Furthermore, once the nuerons are 'born' , they must move to their correct location and form connections , which have been estimated at up to 15 000 per neuron.

This is mind boggling!
