If you get the opportunity to see the programme it is well worth watching.
Definitely a miracle.

I would never have guessed that. Never.

God bless you.

And thank God and this kid’s parents that he was not killed before he had a chance.

I read this and wondered why God would let a child be born diagnosed in utero with no brain, let the parents agonize over that, have said child be born with, indeed, no brain, further agony for parents planning his funeral, then let the brain spontaneously grow to almost full capacity.

I know we can never know the motivations or mysteries of God but it's almost as if this was a test, here's a child you are told will have severe disabilities or die, do you let him live or kill him? If you let him live, you are gifted with a substantially functional child. Thankfully the parents chose well. Too many don't.

God doesn't manipulate the cosmos on a set of strings. If he did, there would be no point in a cosmos.

But then I read that he “grew a brain”

That's the pivotal moment in some Democrats' life when they see the light..

His brain continues to develop beyond anyone’s wildest dreams

Interesting statement. Could he be a future savant on the level of Stephen Hawking? Who knows what God has planned for him.........

Those who do not accept God as the Lord of their lives cannot understand this simple truth. They hate God because he is not a puppeteer, running every detail of His creation. They desperately want a demon to rule them. Atheism provides many demons ready to take up the task of running their lives. As people of the Kingdom of God we are at war with all of them.

If that's so, that he doesn't get involved, then there's also no point in praying for God's help

As long as he stays brain damaged, he might someday even head up the GOP.

Comparing anyone to Hawking would be an insult- Hawking is an irrelevant idiot who fits very plainly in the Romans 1 (18-32 specifically) description of those who through their own machinations of a Godless universe become fools and worse....

Hawking would have said “abort the imbecile”, “its just a mass of incoherent cells, you can try again”.

Seems like his brain was compressed and once the pressure in his cranium decreased it was allowed to expand.I hate it when docs make predictions when they know so little (means that very little is known...not that they are stupid) about the physiology of the body in extreme situations...I personally know of a doc who told my friend that my friends wife might die quickly due to large sacral ulcer and her autoimmune nerve disease...5 years later she is still alive and hanging in there...he sadly died over a year ago.

Score another one for “nurture” (in the nurture vs. nature argument).
