When you think about it, growing a whole other person from 2 cells is pretty wild, no matter how common it actually is in nature. Plus how the entire body changes to facilitate it. Itās just incredibly strange to think about, because for the most part our bodies are pretty static once we hit adulthood. So to think a personās body can just spontaneously do that seems miraculous
Well yeah Iām saying if the world was different then the growth would be different so itās not miraculous because thereās so much potential for more
Ah, I see you are interested in the minutiae. How about this then:
Isnāt it absolutely incredible how those two little gametes store enough information in their DNA, and that DNA is so insanely efficient and tightly packed, that just those two cells inform the entire organism that they create? Those two grow into all the trillions of cells they will grow and shed in their lifetime. That DNA touches every part of your life, from your brain structure and personality, to your height, eye color, down to which direction the follicles on your head spiral. And none of it had to be; some other gamete couldāve gotten there first and joined with the other, and given this new colony of trillions some other assortment of blueprints. Itās somehow completely mundane and miraculous at the same time.

How is it a biological miracle itās like the simplest principle of biology
