Your heart beats 101,000 times a day. During your lifetime it will beat about 3 billion times and pump about 400 million litres (800 million pints) of blood.
On average, you breathe 23,000 times a day.
A typical athlete's heart churns out 25 to 30 litres (up to 8 gallons) of blood per minute.
Your mouth produces 1 litre (1.8 pints) of saliva a day.
The muscle that lets your eye blink is the fastest muscle in your body. It allows you to blink 5 times a second. On average, you blink 15 000 times a day.
We actually do not see with our eyes - we see with our brains. The eyes basically are the cameras of the brain. One-quarter of the brain is used to control the eyes.
Our eyes are always the same size from birth.
Every person has a unique tongue print.
If all your DNA is stretched out, it would reach to the moon 6,000 times.
Approximately two-thirds of a person's body weight is water. Blood is 92% water. The brain is 75% water and muscles are 75% water.
If the amount of water in your body is reduced by just 1%, you'll feel thirsty.

Psalm 139 (NLT)
13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 Thank You for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous--and how well I know it.
15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16 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.

I've got to second that, "....wonderfully and fearfully made." Great post!

"If all your DNA is stretched out, it would reach to the moon 6,000 times."
This fact alone convinces me that the religion of evolution is a total farce.
God is great!
