Your nurses training was a godsend for your writing.  It adds a fullness and an extra dimension to the way you "refract" the world.  I know your rumination about "instinct" in cells was largely a metaphor, but they are subject to the same shaping as entire species in geological time frames.

  The idea of the world constantly evolving is almost a platitude, yet no one thinks, as Michael Crichton points out, of an epidemic changing as it spreads, for example.  Or that if you consider plants and bugs, plants are constantly making natural pesticides, which bugs develop resistance to, and then the plant invents a new pesticide, which the bug becomes resistant to, and so on.  Even our receptors change their tertiary structure in minute ways throughout life so that hormones, drugs, and other endogenous substances do not affect quite so strongly.

  I wish you would give some thought to writing science fiction.  I mean REAL science fiction, hard science fiction like Asimov or Benford or Larry Niven--the kind some fans call "Heavy Metal" as opposed to the softer kind, such as Robert Silverberg.  This genre is about as hard to write well as any, but if you have the right kind of imagination.....

Hello Thor great beginning there. I agree I would like to see your approach to science fiction sounds like you would kill in it. Better yet, stop by the Galactic Love Cowboys and mixed fantasy and science fiction together with you skill for the technical it would be a blast to see how that turns out.

The story prologue really set me up for the story in the sense that now, after reading the prologue. When something magical happens in it, it will seem more plausible. I do wish you had hinted a little more at what it was all for I know it said the father loved like no one thought he could but after a while, it felt like I was reading a recipe that did not say what you were making.

Also, I think you missed to in there.

I have come to realize that life holds a mystery that we as humans cannot begin fathom nor come yet to fully appreciate.

After begin. 

Great way of interfacing science and fantasyI have never heard coincidence describe in such a way, wholly original.

I think that you have a great start to a story. A good introduction. I think that the narrator's voice is distinctive, but I don't know who the narrator is, or anything about the narrator. It's a summary. I suggest that you give your narrator something that would have the reader identify him/her. It will immediately hook the reader into the story.

There's excessive phrasing that should be taken out. It draws my attention away. For example,

How can I begin to explain it?

Just have the narrator explain.

but let me try to put it in terms that will make you at least consider the possibility of the events described really occurring.

Simplify the language. Way too complicated.

All life begins from a simple cell and this cell compels all its descendants to perform the services and follow without deviation the design of the creature the original cell was to duplicate. The question may arise whether or not cells are intelligent.
Whether we believe that nature has endowed cells either with instinct, whatever that is, or reasoning power, we must admit that cells are forced to change their shape and entire nature to meet the requirement of the being of which they are a part. Every cell must adapt itself in shape and every other characteristic necessary to fulfill its function. It is hard to think of a cell as right handed or left handed, but one becomes part of a right ear, the other becomes part of the left ear.

I really enjoyed this paragraph. Sets a tone.

I hope this helps and I want to read more by you!

 This is the first chapter?  Wow. I am thoroughly impressed.  It is very detailed and descriptive. I would definitely like to read more.

 I like the story it made me think alot and open my mind.
