Cell division and multiplication occur according to a predetermined schedule based on
genetic material called DNA. This genetic blueprint governs whether and when cells will
reproduce through a process called the cell cycle. There are specific genes for each cycle phase
to guarantee orderly growth and division. As cells grow old or get harmed, they are supposed to
die through a process known as apoptosis, and fresh, functional cells replace the destroyed ones
(Yousefzadeh et al., 2021). Nonetheless, any change in DNA can distort this well-coordinated
procedure. Such alterations can lead to such effects as failure to observe regular growth signals,
failure to die when the body feels necessary, or failure to divide equally and harmoniously. Such
erratic growth could culminate in the development of tumors and cancer. Most cancer cells have
multiple mutations that render them immune to the body's checks and balances, which would
prevent uncontrolled cell division. They may also gain the facility to move to other parts of the
body, another factor that complicates matters when treating the disease. Knowledge of these
processes is critical for designing practical approaches to treating cancer and preventing its
development.
Psalm 139:13-16 emphasizes the divine craftsmanship involved in human creation,
stating that every part of our being is intricately woven together with purpose. This fits the
scientific knowledge of cell division and DNA programming, where genetic instructions govern
the formation of every cell with precision. The DNA in our cells contains a blueprint to instruct
exactly over the replication, repair, and function of cells in our body to maintain overall health
and integrity. This is a process that contradicts the work of a masterful design, down to every
minute detail, even more so than could be described by the psalmist in his saying, "fearfully and
wonderfully made." Moreover, when an interruption to that delicate balance event occurs, it
furthers what exactly complex and precise life has to be. Thus, both a spiritual perspective of

divine creation and a scientific view of cellular processes each underline one profound aspect of
order, purpose, and intentionality in the bringing about and sustaining human life.
