We have not lost faith, but we have transferred it from God to the medical profession.
What God hath joined together no man shall put asunder: God will take care of that
The best place to seek God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.
Creation is a miracle of daily recurrence. 'A miracle a minute' would not be a bad slogan for God.

The god of love, if omnipotent and omniscient, must be the god of cancer and epilepsy as well....

When a man wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport: when the tiger wants to murder him he calls it ferocity
