In a mother's womb were twin babies. One with a positive outlook and the second more pessimistic. One day the pessimist asked the other, "Do you believe in life after delivery?"
The positive baby replies, "Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later."
"Nonsense!" says the pessimist baby. "There is no life after delivery! What would that life be?"
"I don't know, but I'm sure there will be more light than in here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths."
The pessimist baby said, "That is absurd! Walking is impossible. And eat with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord is too short."
"I think there is something and maybe it's different than it is here."
"No one has ever come back from there. Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery it is nothing but darkness and anxiety and it takes us nowhere." the pessimist baby said becoming very agitated.
"Well, I don't know but certainly we will see mother and she will take care of us."
"Mother?" screamed the pessimist baby. "You believe in mother? Where is she now?"
"She is all around us. It is in her that we live. Without her there would not be this world."
"I don't see her, so it's logical that she doesn't exist." said the pessimist baby.
"Sometimes, when you're in silence you can hear her. You can perceive her. I believe there is a reality after delivery and we are here to prepare ourselves for that reality." The positive baby concluded.
Can you imagine these thoughts going through an unborn child's mind? Trusting there will be an unknown entity (mother) who will take care of them when they leave the place they are being formed and growing. One places total trust in something it has never seen, yet senses that it IS out there waiting to care for him. While the other --- like unbelievers --- refuses to trust that there IS something more. The pessimist believes their life inside the womb is all there is and with a closed mind, refuses to think of the possibility of a mother caring for them
That is similar to unbelievers... they refuse to open their mind and believe in the possibility of an Almighty God who will care for them after they pass from this earth. They refuse to believe there can be more than this present life in which we live.
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God. He created him; male and female He created them.
--- Genesis 1:27
