“I went to the librarian and asked for a book about stars.... And the answer was stunning. It was that the Sun was a star but really close. The stars were suns, but so far away they were just little points of light.... The scale of the universe suddenly opened up to me. It was a kind of religious experience. There was a magnificence to it, a grandeur, a scale which has never left me. Never ever left me.” KindLittlesBookLightUniverseLeftStarsReligiousAnswersSunScalesFar AwayLibrarianGrandeurStunningMagnificenceReligious ExperiencePoints Of Light Author:Carl Sagan
“A living faith is always on trial; we call it faith for that reason. When I read in some alarmist book that the Christian faith is now on trial, or "at the crossroads," my impulse is to answer, Why Not? Does anybody know a time when the Christian faith was not on trial, or when the Christian life was a simple walkover, with neither principalities nor powers to dispute its advance?” KnowsDoeBookReasonChristianSimpleAnswersTrialsChristian LifeImpulseWhy NotDisputesChristian FaithCrossroadsAlarmists Author:John Edgar Park
