“The brain’s total number of connections rivals the stars and galaxies of the universe.”
Paul W. Brand, In His Image

“Find a person once deeply involved in church who has chosen to leave it, and you will likely hear that something harsh obtruded into that person's faith. Perhaps it was some Christians' judgmental attitude about a marriage situation. How many divorced people have left the church when made to feel like second-class citizens? Or perhaps it was disapproval of a habit, like smoking. Having treated emphysema and removed cancerous lungs, I hate smoking. And I hate what divorce does to its victims, especially the children. But I must not allow my views on smoking or divorce to drive people away. For a model, I must look to Jesus, who opposed the sin but loved the sinner. Though he openly declared God's laws, somehow he conveyed them with such love that he became known as the friend of sinners.”
Paul W. Brand, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

“Our assortment of rods and cones lets us see objects at the ends of our noses and also stars light-years away.”
