In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other:
“Do you believe in life after delivery?” The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”
“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”
The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”
The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”
The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.”
The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has no one has ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”
“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”
The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”
The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not and could not exist.”
Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”
To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and you really listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.”

No ultrasound? You must be a hippie chick. :D

[badger]

Well yes ultrasound... but are we to believe what machines tell us? ;)

[Turd_Ferguson]

What does that have to do with the OP?

[badger]

geez turd lighten up its friday. i didn't have my first ultrasound till she was at least a month along if not later

[Serenity Now]

What does the OP have to with anything? It reminds me of Job or Revelation. Is it written in code to a secret sect of the board?

You must listen and learn grasshopper. These esoteric ramblings are the true path to enlightenment.

If you really think about it the creation of life is the ONLY miraculous thing that humans can do. How many of you really( I mean really)think about the incredibly complex thing life really is yet we often act like it is something mundane and ordinary. If you think that life is the result of some astronomically unlikely accident of chance in the cosmos then I really don't know what to tell you.

It is an amazing process, but humans are not unique to it and are pretty late to the party. It's a lot more fun than laying eggs and spritzing on them. But I think marsupials have the best scheme; they still get to **** but the female doesn't have to force a large infant through her hips and jeopardize her swimsuit figure. The large pouch might be unsightly though.

I don't know. Marsupials just make me feel uncomfortable.

Yes, life is so abundant in the rest of the universe. Go study medicine and learn how incredibly complex even the simplest life form is . The get back to me.

I did not mean to give the impression that only human life was a miracle.

Would you guess physicians more or less spiritual than the average. The docs I know are generally agnostic, diest, etc. I'm generalizing from the specific What is your experience?

Just my experience...most docs are agnostic diest, etc. because of the fact that they are trained/taught/believe that science is the end all be all...the is no faith (to a certain extent). If it cannot be proven...it doesn't exist.

Physicians are generally more religious than the general population:

The ones that I know who aren't religious generally tend to be specialists in fields where they don't develop much of a patient-physician relationship(i.e anesthesiology, radiology). If you aren't religious you generally have a very hard time meeting the spiritual needs of your patients. More and more the medical field is recognizing how important a patient's spiritual health is to their overall well being.

I know lots of folks trained in science and technology (including myself) that don't view things this way. Lots of things can't be proven now, but eventually will be. That's not faith, just extrapolation from history. Some things may never be figured out, but it shouldn't be because we don't try. I'm agnostic because I think it doesn't matter what I believe and I'm totally open to new findings. I don't think me having faith will impact my afterlife if there is one as that doesn't seem rational. That seems like humans projecting their own frailty onto a much more powerful and sophisticated presence - if it exists.

My generalized experience is with family practice docs. A few have a mystical (i.e., The Force) concept. I'd say a higher portion of the ones I come across would label as agnostic than our general population. Maybe eastern OK is not the best place to use the general population as a "base". :)

Maybe they are Hindu. :D I have noticed that younger physicians tend to be less religious. I was when I was younger but I have come to believe that there is more to being human than the time you are physically present on this earth.
