Back in February 2007 I went to a Chris Tomlin & Matt Redman concert, and Louie Giglio gave a talk about the expansiveness of the universe (video clip). The climax of his talk came when he revealed a picture of Laminin. Laminin is a protein in our body that literally holds our skin, organs, and everything else in our body, in place. It is described as rebar of the human body—it holds us all together.
In the last 12 months more people have come to my site as a result of searching for Laminin than by any other term. Actually if you add up the results of the next ten searches you’d get the total for that one word search. It’s kinda bananas.
I always love listening to Louie speak, and the visuals he had of the universe were amazing, but I remember distinctly asking my buddy on the drive home about the idea of Laminin being the stuff that holds us all together shaped as a cross. While I enjoy the coincidence of it, thinking that God designed it that way on purpose leads me to believe that he expected man to fall at the very start, making the cross necessary. Did he know all along? Did he alter our chemistry after the fact? Was it just a coincidence that made for a nice visual?
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. —Colossians 1:15-17
Do you have any search engine terms that rise above the rest?
