Here’s something that makes me want to say the word “noodle” several times in a sentence…

“Every cell nucleus in your body contains the genetic matter code for the entire body. It’s as if every room in the Tower of London had a bookcase containing the architect’s plans for the entire building. These plans run to 46 books–23 donated by your mother… and 23 donated by your father…

Our genes are in turn defined by a four-letter alphabet of life, composed of bio-chemical letters called nucleotides. The smallest human chromosome (Y) has 50 million nucleotide “letters”; the largest has 250 million. Collectively, some 3 billion paired nucleotides define the genes that determine your individual biological development. To get a sense of the vast library of information contained in each of your “books” containing your complete genetic code would need to run more than 30,000 pages each.” – Exploring Psychology, David G. Myers

Hence why I believe in eternity. It comes down to this: It simply takes more than one lifetime to read (thoroughly and completely) 43 books each running more than 30,000 pages. Why would God create us wth such a vast amount of information (seemingly locked away at present in little rooms we’re unsure how to get to) without giving us an eternity to explore those things after we die? Believe me… It’s then that I’ll realize I’m really living…
