When you get right down to it, this sort of thing is just beyond comprehension really:
Each of us is home to about 100 trillion microscopic life forms — a figure that's about 10 times higher than the number of cells in the human body. In a 200-pound adult, these organisms can weigh a combined 2 to 6 pounds. The vast majority of our microscopic denizens appear to be bacteria; 10,000 types may choose to make Homo sapiens home, the scientists found.
"...10 times higher than the number of cells in the human body."
WTH??? How is that even possible? To my simple mind, it's like saying, "This 12-ounce glass of water holds 120-ounces of microscopic life forms!!"
And not to be mean (but let's have at it anyway), but what do you suppose the people who believe the world is only 6,000 years old think about this news?
