Bright flash of light - the moment sperm meets egg

#1  Postby the_5th_ape » May 25, 2016 8:24 am

Bright flash of light marks incredible moment life begins when sperm meets egg
Human life begins in bright flash of light as a sperm meets an egg, scientists have shown for the first time, after capturing the astonishing ‘fireworks’ on film.

An explosion of tiny sparks erupts from the egg at the exact moment of conception.

Scientists had seen the phenomenon occur in other animals but it is the first time is has been also shown to happen in humans.

Cool.

The bright flash occurs because when sperm enters an egg it leads to a surge of calcium which triggers the release of zinc from the egg. As the zinc shoots out, it binds to small molecules which emit a fluorescence which can be picked up by camera microscopes.

Why do you think that?

".... surge of calcium" and "release of zinc from the egg" - is God's work

MMM, no, you missed a bit of the logic there. The only people whose souls are made of zinc and calcium, are the ones who are destined to be flashers.

No, its not exactly the soul.

If souls were made of zinc and calcium, then it shouldn''t be difficult to create souls in laboratory :think:

Also just a conceptual sort of note on this, when there is a "flash" as described, it means that light is LEAVING the object in question. This needs to be taken into account for anyone who wants to make up or "deduce" spiritual meaning from this.

Exactly.

Its God expressing himself through super-conscious manifestation into material world, which we identify as zinc and copper.
