Copying Life's Marvelous Designs - Jehovah's Witnesses Official Web Site Copying Life's Marvelous Designs Toddlers tumble and bump their heads. Older children fall from trees and off bicycles. Athletes crash into one another on the playing field.
Motorists have countless road accidents.

But as scientists are beginning to discover, from our bones to our skin, we are the product of truly brilliant designs. Tender saplings push through cracks in concrete and rock and force the cracks wide open as they grow into healthy trees. In turn, trees can withstand winds that topple power poles and rip houses apart.
