Quote: I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We\'ve created life in our own image.

Quote: The Christian good news majors in 're-' words: rebirth, redemption, reconciliation, renewal and finally re-creation. Atonement is the process and state of restoration. In a narrower sene, the appearing of Jesus - his person and work, his alienation in death - introducers a radical new beginning for human hopes.

Quote: "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Psalm 139 v 14 (NIV) Do you think the writer of this Psalm was right? Or do you think that a certain Professor C.E.M. Joad was right. This is what he said: 'Man is nothing but Fat enough for seven bars of soap Iron enough for one medium sized nail Sugar enough for 7 cups of tea Lime enough to whitewash a chicken coop Phosphorous enough to tip 2,200 matches Magnesium enough for one dose of salts Potash enough to explode one toy crane Sulphur enough to rid one dog of fleas'.

Quote: If I come into work with a black eye and people ask how I got it, it is perfectly reasonable to give a purely physical explanation, and say, ‘because the blood vessels in my ocular area are working overtime to repair damaged tissue.’ But they might feel a bit short-changed with that reply, because physical explanations don’t remove the need for personal explanations. They will probably find a different type of answer (‘because I stared too long at this guy’s girlfriend in the pub last night’) rather more satisfying. And they certainly won’t think that the former removes the possibility of the latter.

Quote: God's final and perfect revelation is seen in Jesus: the incarnation is the revelation. Everything else develops from this point. Where the emphasis on the incarnation is weak the sense of revelation is weak and people go off on all kinds of 'revelations', that in reality, amount to nothing more than fantasies. they discover 'Christ within themselves' - which turns out to be a Christ of their own creation. The characteristics of Jesus, only begotten Son of God and crucified, ascended Saviour of the World, fade out and a weak, sentimental Christ takes His place

Quote: Back in 1912, Ford Motor Co. had a production manager named William Knudsen - considered one of the best in his field. Knudsen became convinced that the Model T (which had been in production for 4 years now) had to be updated. But, the only problem was - Henry Ford loved his creation so much it was well known that he opposed changing anything about the car. According to Robert Lacy (in his best selling biography, Ford: The Man and the Machine) Knudsen thought to convince Ford by building an updated and impressive model to show what could be done with a few changes in color and design. Ford had just returned from a European vacation, and he went to a Highland Park, Michigan garage and saw the new design created by Knudsen. On-the-scene mechanics later revealed how Ford responded. They say that the car was it was a four door job, and the top was down, painted gleaming red and built on a new, low slung version of the Model T. One eyewitness tells how "Ford had his hands in his pockets, and he walked around that car 3 or 4 times…. Finally, he got to the left hand side of the car, and he takes his hands out, gets hold of the door, and bang! He ripped the door right off!… How the man done it, I don’t know! He jumped in there, and bang goes the other door. Bang goes the windshield. He jumps over the back seat and starts pounding on the top. He rips the top with the heel of his shoe. He wrecked the car as much as he could." Knudsen left for General Motors. Henry Ford nursed along the Model T, but design changes in competitors models made it more old-fashioned than he would admit. Competitive necessity finally backed him into making the Model A, but his heart was never in it.
