"Scientific Observation" Quote of the Day. . .

     ". . . We are taught from childhood to notice how the perfect oak grows from the acorn and to forget that the acorn itself was dropped by a perfect oak.  We are reminded constantly that the adult human being was an embryo, never that the life of the embryo came from two adult human beings.  We love to notice that the  express engine of today is the descendant of the "Rocket"; we do not equally remember that the "Rocket" springs not from some even more rudimentary engine, but from something much more perfect and complicated than itself - namely, a man of genius."

     C.S. Lewis, from The Weight of Glory
