True: That's true about the heart of the baby starting to be beat 22 days after conception. Everything is wonderful about human fetuses. Who starts the heart and forms the body -- i strongly believe it is god who does it.

Wonder indeed: Human embryology teaches the primitive heart connects to the vascular system at 21 days, so it's reasonable primitive circulation could start after 22 days. This is mostly consistent with modern ultrasound technology, too. As to the role of god? - some people believe in one god, some another god, many gods, and no god(s) at all - happily this is a matter of personal faith, but not of medicine.
