You Are Very Unique!!

     The fact that you were born is a testament to God's desire for you to be here.  Think about this: 

"Considering independent assortment of 23 pairs of chromosomes (n = 23) and crossing over during meiosis, the total number of different ways that human gametes can combine exceeds four quadrillion (252). This number is greater than all the atoms in our solar system. This vast array of different genetic combinations also explains the infinite variation in human faces (with the exception of identical twins). To really appreciate the magnitude of the 16 digit number four quadrillion, consider the 10 digit number 2.5 billion (2,500,000,000). If you counted one number every second (day and night), it would take about 79 years to reach this number. If you slept eight hours each night, it would take about 119 years. Also ponder the number 263. This number exceeds all the grains of rice ever produced in the history of the world! In fact, in some models of the visible universe, the total number of electrons does not exceed 1087."

So, does this imply that every person - each unique genetic outcome - has a 1/over 252 quadrillion chance of being born?   Consider the odds of you being here, and you will begin to even the more appreciate your existence, and that God really wanted YOU here!!
