Proof of God

[Alex K]

Oh. And DNA; Look at Psalm 139:16. "Your eyes even saw me as an embryo; All its parts were written in your book Regarding the days when they were formed, Before any of them existed.' Written more than 3,000 years before we had amassed enough knowledge on our own to understand, how would you explain that passage?

There's nothing to see here - I would explain it thusly: If you assume that everything was created by God, then it is automatically the case that God has predetermined what we are going to look like, so this sentence is more a statement of belief than a scientific prediction. That learned people in ancient times have seen embryos in different stages of development can be assumed as a given. But - the translation above is very very loaded. Look at the NLV of the same Psalm:

"You saw me before I was born.
   Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
   before a single day had passed."

So which one is the right one, then?
From biblehub:

All my members were written - The words "my members" are not in the original. The Hebrew is, as in the margin, "all of them." The reference may be, not to the members of his body, but to his "days" (see the margin on the succeeding phrase) - and then the sense would be, all my "days," or all the periods of my life, were delineated in thy book. That is, When my substance - my form - was not yet developed, when yet an embryo, and when nothing could be determined from that by the eye of man as to what I was to be, all the future was known to God, and was written down - just what should be my form and vigor; how long I should live; what I should be; what would be the events of my life.

The majority of translation use "days" and don't refer to embryos. I guess if I didn't have a day job I could go through all this pile of nonsense and debunk it, but it's always tough being on the intellectually rigorous side where you can't just throw shit at the wall to see what sticks.
