‘Ballet of Growth and Fusion’: See the Time-Lapsed View of a Face Developing in the Womb

The Blaze has recently brought you a video showing the first footage of an MRI revealing twins interacting in the womb and another showing the MRI of a live birth. Here’s another video first: the time-lapsed development of the human face in the womb.

The footage, put together from data of embryo scans from one to three months after conception, is part of BBC’s “Inside the Human Body” series. New Scientist explains further:

Virtual sculptures were created at different stages, then combined by mapping hundreds of points to corresponding dots on the other models. “It was a nightmare for structures like the nose and palate, which didn’t exist for most of the animation,” says David Barker, the graphics researcher on the production. “Their formation is a complicated ballet of growth and fusion of moving plates of tissue.”

A close look at the animation reveals that a face forms from three main features that rotate into place, meeting at the philtrum, the groove above the top lip. The transformation occurs with very precise timing and delays can result in a cleft lip or palate.

The show’s host Michael Mosely explains in the clip that the images show “how our faces don‘t just ’grow,’ but fit together like a puzzle.” He says that the sections of the puzzle, meet in the middle of your top lip, “creating the groove that is your philtrum.”

      Exodus 11:5
      and every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the cattle.

      God isnt for abortion- he waits to kill them. My question- what did the cattle do to deserve that? Or the slave girl?

      Why did you respond to this comment, puravida56? There is absolutely no relation to to comment you’re responding to and the question you are asking.

      The truth is that God was trying to get Pharaoh to comply to his demands of listening to Moses so that they would let his people go, and to destroy some of the evil of the Egyptian civilzation’s culture while so.

      I think you need some common sense and a clean mind to be able to quote things from the Bible. You NEVER quoted WHY God did what he did, and apparently you were attemping to distract everyone from not only this news story, but yet you attempted to twist God’s words in an abstract manner – which I say is JUST as evil!

      Your statement is absolutely crazy; it’s almost like Nancy Pelosi has her own account on The Blaze now!

      @ Purvsion…See here is how this works, we are all to be judged by God, those in sin are to be condemned by God. Since He is God, he can decide when and how to mete out his judgement.

      Rather than asking those of here to explain God’s decisions and actions, perhaps prayer and study on your won is in order. Or perhaps you can wait until your own judgement day and ask Him yourself to explain it.

      though here is a little news flash. His ways are not our ways. It is not possible to understand and comprehend an infinite God with a finite human brain

      I have read the book, I understand why God killed the first born. I just think it is immoral to kill babies no matter who does it. Especially innocent slave girl babies that had no choice in the matter. Get angry at me all you want, but deep down you know that it is wrong to kill innocent babies to achieve your goal.

      Don’t like the pharaohs behavior? Wipe out all of Egypts first born male children.
      Don’t like the Amalekites? Have the Israelites wipe out everyone including suckling infants and the cattle… No, don’t adopt the infants…slay them.
      Don’t like the way humans are behaving in genenral, just wipe them all out in a global flood except for one family so they can repopulate the earth by having incest…

      Puravida et. all.
      God was and is teaching us the lesson that it is by faith in the application of the blood of the lamb by which we, and anyone else is saved. God did not destroy; the death angel/Satan did the destroying. If an Egyptian home had, by faith, followed God’s proscribed method of atonement, their first-born would have been spared.
      If a Jewish home did not apply the blood, their first-born would have died.
      God’s lesson is that Egypt is an analogy to “The World” and He provides a means of deliverance for His faithful to overcome the bondage to sin and death. God could not have provided a better, clearer, more timeless object lesson then the Exodus.
      Our human minds could not have conceived of a better object lesson.
      While you are placing yourself in the position of God’s judge, tell me, how would you have done it differently and better?
      God always provides a way to be saved from death.
      What is your excuse for not applying it to your own life?

      @john- I was joking. I thought it was pretty obvious.
      @ Maccow- The slave girls didnt even have access to a 1 year old lamb to slaughter and put the blood on their door. Nobody even told them they had to do that to be saved. God told moses to put the blood on the doors of his people.

      Think- you are a slave girl. You were born into a life of slavery. You probably have a few children that are the by products of rape. Still they are all you have to live for and all you have to cherish. Then some vengeful god you never even heard of kills your first born because the pharoh (a man you have never even talked to or seen) was an enemy of moses?!?!?!?!

      This is your perfect object lesson?!?!?! If I was god and was willing to kill to help my people, I would kill the pharoh. Then I would tell the next pharoh, treat moses right or you will die to. One death, maybe two tops – both deserved versus thousands of innocent deaths.

      But remember god is loving.

      @Pontiac
      If we bemoan the death of the Egyptians and Amalekites because it means our hope is in this life lived in the world. New flash, we will all die, if you have not hope for eternity then I will grant you that every death is a tragedy. But God has given us hope for eternal life. Any Amalekite or Egyptian that placed their faith in God is now living this eternal hope.
      In your blink of an eye existence, tell us, how would you have done history better then God. How would you have ensured that your revelation of yourself to mankind could have survived thousands of years under Satanic assault. How would you oh mighty Pontiac, have ensured that your perfect holiness, perfect love, and perfect justice were never violated, and yet sinful mankind can be saved? Yet you sit in judgement of God.
      Only blind foolishness, with a heavy dose of deafness thrown in for good measure can explain the arrogance.
      God’s plan for salvation (the cross) is foolishness to those who are perishing.

      The last king of the Amalekites was a man named Agag who Saul failed to kill according to God’s command. Agag is the fore-father of Haman, the villain in the story of Ester who tried to wipe out all the Israelites in captivity. God ensured there was an Ester with the kings ear and that she had an uncle named Mordecai. Funny, how did God know?

      Again, how would you have done it better?
      How much of the world today, like you, are without the excuse of ignorance like that Egyptian slave girl you speak of? Yet you will not apply the blood to the door of your heart.
      How foolish.
      If that slave girl was living by faith in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, she is in paradise today so there is no tragedy in your argument. Unless of course salvation is foolishness to you in which case, according to your theology, she is tragically lost.

      Sorry, I missed the bottom half of your last post to me. (I also hate what this site’s auto correct does to these posts. Makes us all look completely un-grammered)
      If you, as god, would have done with Pharaoh as you suggest, how would you have taught mankind to expect a more perfect lamb, whose blood would cause the eternal death angel to passover our lives.
      What will you then change John the Baptists’ “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” comment to?
      How about Isaiah when he says “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter.” Or the hundreds of other verses that build on and then complete the picture of a sacrificial lamb? You just stripped all these away Lord PRVD, now what am I left with?
      Or would you have not bothered with all that and just kept your Son safe and sound?

      God is love in all of the fullness of the word, but He is also truth, holiness and Justice in all the fullness of those words. No one nature of God can ever violate His other natures. Man is infinitely deficient in all of those attributes. Yet you are taking the deficiencies of man, the fact that the slave did not know, then blaming it on God. That is called making God in the image of man.
      I will continue to trust God’s infinite love, holiness, justice, and truth over man’s.

      With all due respect, the first and foremost hurdle we have to get over is that ALL human life is precious. A baby girl is no more special than an old man. We are equally important, regardless of age. If you think otherwise, you are a victim of the culture you allow to shape your thoughts and ideas. Killing ‘innocent’ babies is somehow worse than killing a ‘not so innocent’ elderly man is a slippery slope of placing one person’s life over another… and history teaches us clearly the road that takes us down.
      Second, we are in this boat together because we each decided to get in it. God had a perfect plan for all of us that didn’t involve death, but we chose are ‘own’ way. Do you think you would have done anything differently than Adam and Eve? My point is, we all do ‘bad’ things and our free will (a gift from God), let us create this mess we are in, by our own choosing. We have only ourselves to blame for the deaths of those people (babies included). God didn’t want it that way, but we thumbed our noses and told him we could do it better. Now we sit here, typing up rebuttals of why God is so ‘evil’, when, in truth, we are the cause of all of this.
      I suppose God could take away our free will and remove all evil and death, but then… would it be ‘free will’ if he did?

      I’d be happy to take that challenge. I’ll read “The god dilusion” and I could be cruel and make you read the Catechism of the Catholic Church (which is a great book) or Summa Theologica by Thomas Aquinas but I doubt you’d want to spend the whole summer reading a theology book that would answer ever question that you could possible think. The book I’d like you to read is A Father who Keeps His Promises by Scott Hahn. It will explain the covenent nature of man’s relationship with God and his with us. It’s not long or boring. You could read it in a few days if you put your mind to it. And it will help you see that God has always been faithful. It is man that always fails.

      @purvida “One death, maybe two tops – both deserved versus thousands of innocent deaths.”

      The fact is that there were NO innocent deaths, as it is now, it was then “there is none who do right, no not one”, “for all have sinned & fallen short of the glory of God”, “for the wages of sin is DEATH, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord”. Throughout the Bible God made it clear that He would tolerate sin for only so long & then He would act on His holy justice, but He also has provided, through His love & mercy the ability to escape His righteous judgment, through the perfect Passover Lamb, Jesus Christ. My suggestion for your reading challenge would be the book of Job chapters 38-42, God’s response to Job demanding an answer from God for his own woes & to his “friends” who dared to speak for Him erroneously.

Every one of these children who are born represents a future taxpayer to be soaked by the Ds and Ls. Why are they destroying them before they can be exploited? Has anyone stopped to think one big reason we are watching Social Security go down the drain today is because there are about 40 million murdered children who could have grown up to join the work force and contribute taxes from their earnings to SS?

      It sickens me when I see these celebrities on these commercials to ‘save the animals’. Really? You want to stand up for a dog or cat that has been mistreated yet turn a blind eye to a potential life being chopped up by a ‘doctor’ and sold for parts? We have officially lost our moral compass. Yahweh have mercy on those who stand for you!

      On the 1st day there is one split so that there are 2 cells formed from one cell, then there are 4 cells formed by the splitting of the two cells. To backtrack a bit when there was one cell, what was in the cell: two strands of DNA, one strand from the mother and the ather strand from the father. So the child is growing, developing from the moment of conception, the child is human, created from the mother and father from the moment of conception. The brain must be a part on the child from conception, it doesn’t materialize whole from nothing at 42 days, does it? What can you not understand.

      However the DNA of that same brain would identify a human life.

      Imagine this line represents the tolerance of liberals and their infanticidal friends:

      Can’t see the line—exactly, their is no tolerance from your quarter.

      And what happens on day 43?

      Most surgical abortions don’t happen in the 1st 42 days.

      Most moms to be don’t know their preggers for nearly 30 days.

      That leaves 12 days do decide, make and appointment and do the deed, before electronic proof of life begins.

      Plenty of time; so, lets require an independent ultrasound and fetal EEG within an hour before any abortion and ban abortions in the event life signs are found.

      Banning abortions based on scientific data collected before the deed would totally be in keeping with prior SCOTUS decisions, the law, the constitution, basic human rights, UN protocols, and be good for the environment.

      @grannyjojo
      My eyes are wide open. I was once anti abortion but as I gathered more knowledge on the matter and observed peoples behavior over the years, I can assure you I have no problems with the people wanting an abortion, having an abortion. I don’t want them breeding.

      Human tissue alone does not make a human “being”.
      A zygote is not a human “being”.
      An embryo is not a human “being”.
      A fetus is the only debatable stage of development.
      Your dogmatic bronze age mythology will never convince me that anything, prior to a fetus, is a human being without the “intent” to give birth.

      Perhaps if all people exercised a little personal responsibility with their mating habits, we wouldn’t need to be debating this matter, there wouldn’t be any unwanted pregnancies. I agree there are some people that probably shouldn‘t be passing their genes along but who’s going to decide that, you Pontiac? Kathleen Sebelius? if people aren’t personally responsible for their actions then that means they need someone else – government – to do it for them. That has never worked out in the history of the world.

      Yeah, don’t hold your breath. I don’t know anybody that goes through life having sex ONLY for reproductive means.

      [I agree there are some people that probably shouldn‘t be passing their genes along but who’s going to decide that, you Pontiac? ]
      What? You couldn’t win the argument so you invent a new one? If “they” choose to have an abortion, where do I fit in? I can no more force someone to have a baby than not to have a baby.

      [if people aren’t personally responsible for their actions then that means they need someone else – government – to do it for them. That has never worked out in the history of the world.]
      This is just bilge. Abortions or not, they would still be irresponsible.

      Hi TRON .. I find it amazing that people (Dems) who always talk about “the children” … in everything — they use children to promote their agenda .. except when it come to THE BIRTH of a child. isn’t that the ultimate “for the children”?

      We need to hammer them with .. if they truly cared about “the children” they would not PROMOTE the killing of them.

      It truly is the hand of God we are able to now witness .. perhaps that is why we are seeing this NOW … so that we can use it … not for those who always knew a baby is a baby even before it is born (from conception) .. but those who do not.

    Someday all will know the truth of Heavenly Father’s creations. Until then, we must do our best to educate the world of what we know to be true. There is a God and he loves each and everyone of us and he desires that we all seek after him! Discover the truth for yourself. Pray with a humble heart and mind and ask for the truth to be shown unto you. He will answer your prayers if just listen.
    May God continue to bless this nation that was built with his commandments in mind.

    I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said, “If it isn’t a baby, you’re not pregnant.”

    What is never explained to women before having abortions is that killing their baby will weigh on their conscience and grieve them for the rest of their lives. Most women never recover from the experience.

    For those who positively cannot handle the prospect of being a mother, adoption is always an honorable and loving alternative. Life is a sacred, beautiful gift from God.

      As a man, I now know how Peter truly felt when he denied the Lord three times before the **** crowed. I denied life 3 times and having asked for forgivness I still cannot and will not ever forget. The only thing that brings comfort is knowing they will be restored in the world to come!

    I am in awe. Can’t stop watching it.

    When I was real young (three or four), I had asked my mom what that dent was just above my lip. She told me that before we were born, we were in Heaven with God. When it was time for me to be sent down to her, God pressed His finger to my lips and said ‘Shhhhh’. That made me forget what Heaven looked like so we wouldn’t keep thinking about how beautiful it was and miss being there.

    I thought that was a pretty neat explanation to come up with on the spur of the moment. Made me feel real special, too. Now after all these years, I finally get the truth! :)

    God is amazing.

      @TumbleBumble, Recently, I heard a different explanation (still good) of the dent in the
      area above the lip—-when a child asked his mother what it was—he was told: Before
      you were born an angel kissed you there.

      Having a creator doesn’t answer that paradox. It merely moves it back 1 step: Where did God come from? Was he formed by chance? Did he always exist?

      Exact same argument, only you’re willing to accept the non-answers on that one. Get a grip… or at least stop being a hypocrite.
