it is said that there are no atheist in fox holes. we might include oncology wards in that statement as well. when a man or woman directly faces death, their belief systems are challenged. anytime I question the existence of a higher power, I step out into the night and look up at the stars above. no man could have ever engineered or created anything as magnificent as that.

the optic nerve between the eye and the brain carries more information in TWO SECONDS than the fastest super computers can process in 100 years.

the body systems work in ways that no doctor will ever fully understand nor comprehend. once upon a time, I worked for one of the country's best neurosurgeons. he shared with me that there are things we will NEVER understand about the human brain. he said he felt as if he were only experimenting or scratching the surface when performing brain surgery. eyes seeing, brains processing, hearts beating, kidneys and livers filtering, stomach processing food......it's a miracle.
