Miracle of Life

The most complex object on earth

Imagine you are a Martian reading about human life, with no previous knowledge. You read about how a human is created. A male human inserts a protuberance into a hole in the female or "mother" and, as a result of a tiny "cell" in fluid he ejects joining another cell inside the mother, a tiny version of a human or "baby" is formed. This baby grows in a sac of fluid inside the mother and yet, in later life, the baby would die if immersed. After about nine months the baby has become a fully formed but miniature human and is forcefully ejected through the same, now stretched, hole which process is very painful to the mother.

Within this miniature human's frame, formed from two parent cells, is the most complex object on earth.

"Tell me another" you, the Martian, say, "you're kidding me!". And yet we take this unlikely miracle for granted. I wonder what other miracles we fail to accept because they are similarly unlikely?
