An introductory college level biology text would be a good place to start, especially if you can get a recent one. The biologists are moving pretty fast these days. Plus there a lot of biologists.

If you want to surf the net, Wikipedia can be a good source to outline a subject. I find it out of date a lot of times but it can provide a good jumping off point and some good clues for searches.

There are a lot of sites like this all over the net. Some have links to other informative sites.

When you're ready to go hardcore, there are a lot of journals, like Nature, that are available on line. Some require that you register.

Biology is a booming enterprise these days and no one can hope to stay up with everything that's going on. The changes in health care will be obvious in another 10-15 years. And possibly within our lifetimes we'll witness the birth of engineered humans who will live for a 1000 years. It's an exciting time in the biological sciences.

It would be ironic if it were all cut short by a few groups painting science as the root of evil. Science is like any other tool. It can be used to do good. Or it can be used to do evil.

The more Christians there are involved in science the better off we'll be, IMO.

So I was trying to search for a link where some biologists say that we have trillions of cells and could not find it.

These may not be exactly what you were looking for but...

the average adult is made up of 100 trillion cells?

The human body is made up trillions of cells.

Some other interesting but useless facts about the Human Body:

Hope these help.

On a bit of a side note I fould this to be quite interesting.

http://www.factspider.com/ba/bacteria-in-the-human-body.html
"The human body contains a large number of bacteria, most of them performing tasks that are useful or even essential to human survival. Those that are expected to be present, and that under normal circumstances do not cause disease, are termed normal flora.

Overall, there are about ten times as many bacteria as human cells in the body, 100 trillion (1014) versus 10 trillion (1013), with bacterial cells being much smaller than human cells. Most of the bacteria live in the mouth, the small intestine, the colon, and on the skin. It is estimated that 500-1000 different species of bacteria live in the human body. "

What a wealth of information. I'm going to enjoy checking it out tremendously.

Thank you BOTH!
