first stage of a child in mothers womb will have a bunch of simillar cells, Can you please explain how they will go on to convert into different parts of the body? I don't think any doctor will be able to explain.... (Ref context of God)

Science is dumb and deaf for so many other questions like this one.

Where there is no answer to a question even a great scientist either exclaim the God`s name; or he starts his discovery.

Being people like us who are not scientists; stop at that point and start worshipping.

There is nothing to worry

The subject you're looking for is called "developmental biology."

During the first few cell divisions, all cells in the embryo are totipotent. At around the 32-cell stage, junctions between the cells form, and the cells communicate with each other, and negotiate their futures. This communication results in turning on some genes, and turning off others -- the first glimmers of differentiation, but nonetheless determining which cells become the ancestors of particular cell lines within the body.

I really think that you have to consider whether you are asking two questions, or making a statement and using the other question as a straw doll here.

1. Was life created by God?
2. By what mechanism do cells differentiate?

It is clear from the way you posed your question that you believe that God did create all life, and there are others on this forum that believe this also. Matter of personal belief can only really be determined by yourself and everyone, regardless of who they are, is entitled to thier own faith, just as they should respect, although not neccessarily agree with other people choices and beliefs (This is not condoning extremism but the opposite).

As to cell differentiation, every doctor, and most high school students studying biology, will be able to explain the mechanism by which it occurs.

Stem cells were named after where they were discovered in the human body , namely the brain stem. They have been discovered to have potential for healing in cases of Alzheimers and I believe meningitus. It is very controversial as it requires vivesection of fetus' brain stems, the stems processed carefully. and carefully prepared into pills . Then administered to a recipient in a series called a course. The ethological concerns are at the current moment very split. Although research indicates that an amount able to 99.7% cure up to 500,000 or more people can be obtained from 3 fetus'. Ethical and moral conflicts have confused boundaries. And I do not want to influence anyones postion on stem cell transplants,only present the facts I have knowledge of. The use of DNA extraction and trans-implementation of sequences involve having the production sequence re-create itself in the production (with assistance from environmentally suitable biologic containers) and grown to maturity/half maturity/ or a variable of these states, this for organs.Skin can be generated. as well as glands, or lymph nodes.The production sequence utilizes growth blocks on all non- selected growth functions to prevent bizarre growths.The discovery is important to the future of medicine.And not as expensive as most people think. Of less ethical and moral volatility than stem cell transplants for Alzheimers disease. It is a branch that is deserving of more attention from the world's best minds. And more attention from the public.

One of the most important findings in all of life was DNA and then a little later the other types of DNA. It is the DNA that carries the information required for the fetus to develop.

I can assure you any doctor educated in America knows this. It is basic knowledge taught in any biology course. I am surprised that you think that a doctor would not know human developmental biology. All medical students are required to take two important classes: comparative anatomy and developmental biology.

God has nothing to do with it. Religion is for the spirit and mind. Has NO value in bringing a new human in to the world. You can pray the fetus will develop and become a healthy baby. But, the fate of that fetus is already determined biologically.

Embryology and Development textbooks abound. There is absolutely some mystery in the sense that the system is so counter-intuitive, and the pre-programmed part seems delicate, but it works.

In lay terms, it is actually the protein environment in the cytoplasm that directs the expression of certain genes that causes a "cascade" effect (I use that term loosely, that usually refers to a signaling cascade, but that's not what I'm referring to here) and chain of events that begins the development of the fetus. What is truly amazing, is how the cells can differentiate almost every single time in the same way, considering how crucial the protein gradients are for proper development.

As to not thinking any doctor can explain it, I would hope all of them can considering it's a very basic part of their learning curriculum.

Back a bit, folks.
The guy is quite right here. For the first six weeks of life there is no DNA input in the developing foetus. Genetics don't kick in until that six week period is over.
At first, every cell is exactly the same as every other cell and how they move within the embryonic plate, form the notocord and from there move out to begin different jobs is not known!

The fact that we have a process here which is not understood, however, absolutely does NOT constitute proof either of the existence or of the nature of God - it's just a mystery!

Holy mom of all hell... i assumed all that they had became a collection of unfinished stuff, which Wilson went and comprehensive and polished up in 2004, yet in a lots diverse form that it could have been had issues worked out in 1967... i've got continuously theory this can be the ultimate pop masterpiece, do they even have an entire album locked away in there? if so that's the final musical information i've got ever heard, ever... and that i agree that's the final paintings of "mad" genius (in spite of the actuality that i could truly purely say "organic" and "inspired" than "mad"). BQ: i won't be able to pick. BQ2: If there is any justice (i think of you obtain greater suitable than six already). BQ3: Abso-*******-lutely.

Heard of stems cells and different types of them dude??? Hope you are not trying to question the concept of evolution.

I just couldnt help but put forth few more points.
As one of the members below wrote, God is the spirit. But doesnt mean that we need to attribute everything what we dont know "yet" to god.
For example, may be in 16th century, had to asked the question - how come planets came in to existance or, whats at the edge of the earth, I am sure you would have got lots of 3 letter responses (i.e god). But now no one answers it that way. Do they? Its just that we as human beings dont know lot of things yet. As Donald Rumsfeld might put it - Known unknowns and unknown unknowns. Until we know that, yeah we can all "balme" it on god.

PS: I am not an atheist

Genius?
Well I am no genius, but I was forced to study biology in school.

"The cell theory, first developed in 1839 by Matthias Jakob Schleiden and Theodor Schwann, states that all organisms are composed of one or more cells. All cells come from preexisting cells. Vital functions of an organism occur within cells, and all cells contain the hereditary information necessary for regulating cell functions and for transmitting information to the next generation of cells."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

This website provides a much more detailed explanation, but this is the jest of it. All doctors study the same, in much more detail of course, so you will get the same type answer.

Don't know if this answers your question or not, but it is understood to be known answer.

I would just like to say that I am a researcher AND a future doctor AND a committed christian, and I see no problem with that. I would attempt an answer, but you are clearly convinced already, so I won't waste my time. May your mind be opened someday.
