I guess it would depend on if you believe in a god that gives gifts or not.
Yes – it happens once every 3 seconds, but its a miracle…
SHEESH.
It just happens.
Otherwise ‘god’ bestows ‘miracles’ on those who get raped by strangers (or family members).
When it’s yours, it can seem like a miracle – but if there is one thing that people have proven over the last several thousand years is that nearly anyone is capable of breeding.
Babies are miracles. This thing just grew inside you. That doesn’t seem like something that should be commonplace, but it is. Plus with all the possible things that could go wrong, a normal healthy baby is a miracle. I don’t believe in God, but a successful birth is something that is pretty amazing.
God has set in motion many cycles.
there is the water cycle, wind, seasons and women’s ability to conceive.
God does not hover over every conception.
He set in motion certain cycles.
If someone who does not appreciate conception conceives, the onus is on the conceiver, not god.
Conception is the process of becoming pregnant. Most women ovulate each month, this is when an egg is released by the ovaries. For women with a 28-day menstrual cycle, ovulation typically occurs on day 14. During intercourse the man will ejaculate and sperm will be passed from the testicles via the penis into the woman’s vagina. If a sperm meets the egg, fertilisation may occur. During a male ejaculation, there are anywhere between 60 million and 500 million sperm that have a go at the ‘big race’. They cross the collar of the uterus pretty much within ten minutes. Only about 100 to 200 of the ‘chosen ones’ will arrive at the most strategic place. The egg can be impregnated for approximately 24 hours from when it leaves the follicle. Once one sperm is successful and penetrates the egg it will lose it’s tail and it’s head will increase in size. This entrance creates an ‘activation’ in the egg and it too begins to enlarge. If the egg has been fertilised (the process of the sperm fusing with the egg) it will move to the uterus and attach itself to the uterine lining, a process called implantation. The cells are called a zygote. The cells will begin to divide which will lead to the development of an embryo and hopefully produce a baby in nine months time! A simple game of genetics will determine the sex of your baby. Every man and woman constitutes 22 pairs of chromosomes plus one pair that is the difference between them; these are the sexual chromosomes X and Y. Men have the chromosomes pairing of XY and women have the pairing of XX.
Both the egg and the sperm have 23 chromosomes. The egg is always the carrier of the X chromosome. The sperm can carry either an X or a Y chromosome. This means that it is the male side that determines the sex of the baby.
WHAT A MIRACLE!!!
That must be why 25% (1 out of every 4) pregnancies end in miscarriage – often before the woman even knows she’s pregnant. And why twins can absorb each other in the womb. And why women can develop postpartum depression, or even psychosis that can lead them to killing their babies. Or why there are so many unwanted children waiting for someone to adopt them, or children removed from their homes and stuck in the foster system because their parents couldn’t or didn’t want to care for them…
I may be wrong, but it seems to be a cause, action and result when pregnancy occurs. Miracle? I don’t think so.
