“I think babies really do make you believe in God. They make you believe in God because there’s something just beyond understanding about their freshness and fragility and their smell and their toes. When they take their first breaths, and when they land, floppy and slippery, on your chest under the bright overhead light in an otherwise dim delivery room, when you watch their tiny sleeping selves, when you hear their thin wild animal cries, you know, you just know in your guts that God is real, and that babies have been with Him more recently, have come more directly from Him than our worn-out old selves have.”
– Shauna Niequist, Cold Tangerines

How could something so lovely and so intricately created be a few random cells dividing??
