The brain is the most complicated organ in the universe. We have learned a lot about other human organs. We know how the heart pumps and how the kidney does what it does. To a certain degree, we have read the letters of the human genome. But the brain has 100 billion neurons. Each one of those has about 10,000 connections. ~ Francis Collins

Francis Collins (1950-present) is an American physician-geneticist whose contributions include being director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), director of NHGRI and the Human Genome Project, and the discovery of disease genes. He also has written a book called "The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief" and was appointed to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences for his advocacy that Christianity and evolution and science can be reconciled.

And, to prevent mistakes, I must advertize you, that I now mean by elements, as those chymists that speak plainest do by their principles, certain primitive or simple, or perfectly unmingled bodies; which not being made of any other bodies, or of one another, are the ingredients of which all those called perfectly mixt bodies are immediately compounded, and into which they are ultimately resolved: now whether there be any such body to be constantly met with in all, and each, of those that are said to be elemented bodies, is the thing I now question. ~ Robert Boyle
