Your Busy Liver

Which one of your organs performs more than 500 different tasks?

The answer next on today's Creation Moment.

And now here's our Creation Moment host, Ian Taylor.

An adult's liver is about the size of a small football.

It weighs about 3 pounds, making it the body's largest internal organ.

Tucked neatly beneath your ribs, your liver performs more than 500 different tasks.

It is a vital link between your heart, lungs and digestive system.

Inside the liver is a bewildering array of microscopic veins in which each drop of blood is processed.

Here, blood conditions are constantly monitored to make sure that its chemistry meets strict standards.

If more of some substances are needed in the blood, they are supplied.

Your liver makes proteins and correct blood clotting factors.

Your liver also sees to it that hormone balances are maintained and poisons are neutralised.

If substances are needed to fight an infection, your liver makes them and adds them to the bloodstream.

Your liver also stores vitamins and minerals and prepares itself to provide your body with quick energy when you need it.

In addition, the liver makes bile, which is essential for digestion.

Structures like the liver have caused many evolutionists to abandon the idea that life is a result of millions of years of accidents.

The liver is just too well designed and integrated into the body to have been produced by purposelessness and mindlessness.

As Scripture says, truly God has formed our inward parts.
