The Cross Protein

How can one not be in complete amazement by God?  Read Psalm 139 after you read this post.

Laminin is defined by the Webster Medical Dictionary as a "glycoprotein that is a component of connective tissue basement membrane and that promotes cell adhesion." In other words, looking at laminin as a kind of glue isn't far from the truth. There are several different laminins.

In their book The Laminins authors Peter Elkblom and Rupert Timpl go into more detail about both the importance of laminins and their structure. They describe laminins that, together with other proteins, "hold cells and tissues together." They also say, "Electron microscopy reveals a cross-like shape for all laminins investigated so far." The strands of laminins do not always stand straight and at right angles, but they do consists of arms, three of which are short and one of which is long. Laminin is a protein that is like a "glue" that holds life together. Guess what laminin looks like?

Go ahead. Google "laminin" to verify. Check out the "Is it True" on this site. Coincidence? I don't think so.

'He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation.
For by him all things were created;
things in heaven and on earth ,
visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers
or rulers or authorities;
all things were created by him and for him.
He is before all things, and in him all things HOLD TOGETHER.'
Colossians 1:15-17

Of course this will be passed off as coincidental fantasy by the unbelieving world... there sure are a LOT of those coincidences. Could there be a reason?

Need more evidence? Stand up, put your arms out to your sides at shoulder heigth, have someone take your picture. What shape do you see? It's all about HIM!  Just some more food for thought since my faith begins at the cross!
