Yet, this wonderful design is affected by infections, malformation due to genetic defects, misuse and toxins. We live in a fallen world and though the glory of God shines through the Creation, it also reveals the corruption due to the Fall (original sin) of mankind.

Also, it is astounding that mankind can analyze and draw such sophisticated structures as well as develop modalities to treat malfunctions of the heart. These talents are not available in the animal kingdom. They are attributes that mimic, in a limited way, the attributes of God. We are made in His Image.
Genesis 1
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Revelation 21
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
