Because we see it every day, we sometimes forget that life itself is a miracle, one that cannot be adequately explained with all our scientific advances.
With all our technology, we are not able to create an object that thinks for itself, grows, changes, and becomes any more than we made it at the beginning.
The thought that each of us developed from an egg about the size of a pin-head, coupled with a microscopic sperm, is almost mindboggling when you think about it.
Even the idea of food growing right out of the ground is a miracle if you really think about it.
Science can explain these things within certain narrow parameters, but science can't give a full explanation for how these things happen. The reality is that life is unique, and we can't create it, and neither can we bring it back after it is gone. Until that changes, religion will be around.
It's these questions that have led me to a belief in a higher power.
Where did the higher power come from?
