A friend of my wife and me recently had her first child with her husband. It was born healthy and strong, as we all hope all children will be. The child is only a few weeks old and can’t get around by itself much just yet, but by New Year’s will definitely be reaching “amby baby” mode – crawling around and driving its new mom and dad batty with worry.
There is plenty to be inspired by within the miracle of birth. Just the fact that conception works at all is a mind-bogglingly complex biological process when one considers all that must go correctly just to bring one child from conception to birth successfully.
Scientists can drone on and on about biological imperatives and the necessity of reproduction and really, no matter how much they can explain the science behind it, drowning the listener in technical jargon, the truth is none of it ever really succeeds in grasping the complexity of the process or the pure, spiritual wonder of it.
And since science can only legitimately comment on what can be observed and measured, it never truly will.
