“According to PhD astrophysicists and qualified American science professors, the odds of the more than 2,500 prophecies found in the Bible being fulfilled by chance are 1 with 2,000 zeros after it. According to the mathematical science of probability, if a number has more than 50 zeros after it, the odds of that happening by chance is virtually impossible. This is irrefutable proof that the Bible is inspired by God!” IfsFoundChanceNumbersImpossibleHappeningsInspiredProofMathematicalProfessorsOddsFulfilledProphecyProbabilityQualifiedChances ArePhds Author:Hugh Ross
“To act out something or take chances in the performance is one thing. But in terms of a camera, whatever's captured is captured so that's a little more daunting. You know you can't go back next week and fix it. Whereas in a live audience you know it's so in the moment and you just go with what's happening. First of all you never have to see it again so you don't know if you were really fulfilling it or not.” IfsKnowsFirstsLittlesMomentsNextTermChanceAudienceOne ThingWeekHappeningsPerformancesCamerasFulfillingTake A ChanceCapturedNext Week Author:Lily Tomlin

“A lot of young painters love to incorporate celebrity. One idea of being a painter is to use what's happening at the time. Velázquez was painting of his time. And so was Rembrandt. And Francis Bacon was painting his time in London. He was a real mover, but he saw the insect in the rose. But yes, when I do a painting, I want to take the "I did this" out of it.
