I know some people are caught in the debates about creation and evolution ... and the discussions surrounding science and religon. But, this one from S.K. is quite a twist and turn on the words and the mind - perhaps it helps too with daily u-turns (repentance)
"God creates out of nothing, wonderful, you say: yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners."~ Soren Kiekergaard, July 7, 1838
I know there's a place for more intellectual questions (usually tend to be a little more detached and academic in nature) but once we connect it with daily existence it does make a difference in the way we live (or choose not to live).
