to exist, we would not have been able to live our lives here on Earth.
Had the Sun been either closer to, or further from, the Earth, we still
couldn't exist. Just like everything else around us, the Sun is a miracle
and a mercy from God. It should be a means for us to remember Him
and to thank Him continuously."
But as mentioned before, the child seldom gets this kind of
response and his curiosity is put to sleep with strictly "scientific" logic.
Meeting with this type of answer to his every question, finally he
learns not to be amazed at anything and to overlook the extraordinar-
iness of all things. When he first eats a tasty apple, he asks, "How is it
that trees present such beautiful and beneficial things to man?" In all
probability he will receive the same predictable answer: "Trees have
been producing fruit for millions of years. It's a natural process.
There's nothing amazing about it."
The child who's been desensitized by the society he lives in
obtains his real education at school. In general science first of all, he
learns the scientific explanations behind all creatures and all events.
Then, when he gets a bit older, physics, biology and chemistry lessons
teach him about the workings of the human body or
nature, but he is made to believe that all of this
is just natural and not miraculous in any
way. He is never allowed to ask the ques-
tions that need to be asked: How did all of
this happen? What is the source of the intelli-
gence behind it all? How could such a balance
have come about?
He learns never to ask such questions. For
example, he learns the biological details of how
fruit develops on trees. He is loaded up with facts
about photosynthesis and plant structure. But all
the while, questions like the following are never
