"If my mental processes are determined wholly by the motions of atoms in my brain, I have no reason to suppose that my beliefs are true ... and hence I have no reason for supposing my brain to be composed of atoms"
—J. B. S. Haldane, Possible Worlds, page 209
"When He died in the Wounded World He died not for men, but for each man. If each man had been the only man made, He would have done no less. Each thing, from the single grain of Dust to the strongest eldil, is the end and the final cause of all creation and the mirror in which the beam of His brightness comes to rest and so returns to Him. Blessed be He!"
C.S. Lewis, Perelandra (The Space Trilogy) An "eldil" was an angel like being of light
I like the irony of the first one. So, we can therefore conclude that there is no such thing as an atom. :)
ReplyDeleteI love it when a quote really makes you think, especially when it makes you think about how important we are to the Savior. Imagine Him suffering the way He did, even if there were just one person on the earth, and if that one person were you or me. What perspective that puts on the atonement.
