Quote about the Cell

[Posted more for the humor than the topic, yet posted nonetheless]

(Written about the first cell of a person formed when sperm meets egg)
"The mere existence of that cell should be one of the great astonishments of the earth. People ought to be walking around all day, all through their waking hours, calling to each other in endless wonderment, talking of nothing except that cell...
     If you like being surprised, there's the source. One cell is switched on to become the whole trillion-cell, massive apparatus for thinking and imagining and, for that matter, being surprised. All the information needed for learning to read and write, playing the piano, arguing before senatorial subcommittees, walking across a street through traffic, or the marvelous human act of putting out one hand and leaning against a tree, is contained in that first cell. All of grammar, all syntax, all arithmetic, all music...
     No one has the ghost of an idea how this works, and nothing else in life can ever be so puzzling. If anyone does succeed in explaining it, within my lifetime, I will charter a skywriting airplane, maybe a whole fleet of them, and send them aloft to write one great exclamation point after another, around the whole sky, until all my money runs out."

~ Lewis Thomas (Scientist and Physician)

My thoughts:

Simply put, can you imagine what the world and our testimonies might be like if we took the above quote, replaced any reference to "that cell" with Christ, then followed it?
