Where have I come from?

"For after all, what is Man in Nature?
A nothing compared to the infinite,
a whole compared to the nothing,
a middle point between all and nothing,
infinitely remote from an understanding of the extremes;
the end of things and their principles are unattainably hidden from him in impenetrable secrecy.

Equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed
...All things have come out of nothingness and are carried onwards to infinity.
Who can follow these astonishing processes?
The Author of these wonders understands them: no one else can."

"Know then, proud Man, what a paradox you are to yourself.
Be humble, impotent reason! Be silent feeble nature!
Learn that Man infinitely transcends Man,
hear from your master your true condition,
which is unknown to you.
Listen to God."

- Blaise Pascal, Pensees.

And now a word from the Author...

"This is what the Lord says, your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the Lord, who has made all things,
who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself, who foils the signs of false prophets
and makes fools of diviners, who overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense..." Isaiah 44:24,25

God's Psalmist praises his Maker with these words:

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I were to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you." - Psalm 139:13-18
