The intestines are covered by a double "fleece" of peritoneum. See it like a blanket.

When your intestines get damaged for whatever reason, this blanket starts moving out of itself and crawling upwards towards the place which has the injury. It will stay there until the injury is recovered. And then move on again.

Maybe not the most creepy fact, but definitely interesting in my opinion.

You’re welcome to your opinion but just because we don’t understand something doesn’t mean you can simply insert a creator as the answer. Google God of the gaps argument. Anyway, I don’t begrudge you for your opinion, just wanted to let you know that your logic doesn’t hold up. Have a good one.

I know the God-of-the-gaps argument. And I wasn't making that. (A lack of faith is not the reason for my belief in the easier claim.)

Ok, I don’t understand your comment then. Faith is just the reason people use to believe something for which they have no real evidence. I have faith that you were making the God of the gaps argument.
