Harvard's "Inner Life of the Cell" is a success story in unexpected viral interest. Originally developed for classroom education, it went viral on the internet after a showing in 2006 at the Siggraph Electronic Theater. The clip below is the shortened version (3 min, from 8 min) and contains the beautiful musical soundtrack. Watching this with the Creator in mind as the One who planned us down to the cell and beyond, brings tears to my eyes. Evolutionists believe the cell activity evident in the animation was developed by accident over time. Yet how can such a bustle of activity in each cell be happenstance? It cannot.
This version is the full 8 minutes with music AND narration:
If you want a slower version, this link has different speed versions to choose from, and they have scientific narration. Go here.
This link gives a longer an explanation of the series, its genesis and intent, along with information about the animation. Go here. The synopsis is below:
"Inner Life of the Cell" (http://www.xvivo.com/the-inner-life-of-the-cell/) was originally intended for undergraduate life sciences students at Harvard. However, the animation went viral after being shown in the Siggraph Electronic Theater in 2006. The mix of publicity, criticism and acclaim proved that there was an unmet demand for compelling scientific visuals that educate as well as inspire. "It's quite clear that we understand the world primarily through sight,"says Dr. Robert Lue Ph.D., Director of Life Sciences Education at Harvard and a professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. "Somehow we don't use that in teaching science as we really should." (Source) (http://revminds.seedmagazine.com/revminds/member/robert_lue/) Both Harvard and XVIVO received letters from students, teachers, and scientists all over the world, asking when the next chapter would be available. Well, the wait is over."
While watching the video, I feel moved beyond description, and it is because I am seeing my insignificance compared to His wonderful Glory
"When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?" (Psalms 8:3-4)
That though this is an animation I trust that it accurately depicts the life of the smallest parts of our body, and I know: "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." (Ephesians 2:10)
I praise Him! "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." (Revelation 4:11)
The bible is replete with statements attesting to His power, creativity, and glory in creating all there is, "I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded." (Isaiah 45:12)
Please take encouragement from this video, which illustrates His power and in so doing, remember, though we are insignificant compared to Him, He created us to have a relationship with Him. I pray yours deepens today, and if you do not know Him, begin a relationship today by asking Him to forgive your wrongs and to take you unto Himself as saved sinner, and His friend.

Thanks for this post Elizabeth! I had never seen this video before but I will use it in the future. This is exactly the argument I make to the atheists. Look at any system of the body or even the human hand. Look at symbiotic relationships and tell me that these are not a design. The evidence of design is everywhere and is indisputable. All designed systems MUST have a designer, otherwise we would have evidence of chaos. This animated video of the nano-world of a cell just helps us to visualize the absolute perfection and wonders of God's creation.
