Thank you!
But, I prefer to think of it as a gift of inspiration by our Lord through His Holy Spirit -- after a lifetime of following His calling to investigate, discover, and proclaim the wonders of His almighty works -- through science...

It's amazing how uplifting the merged experience of 3/4 century of being a "curiosity-consumed kid" (with unlimited access to tools like SEMs [Scanning Electron Microscopes] telescopes, and a plethora of other tools invented to extend Man's God-given senses) can be.
Especially so, when combined with almost that many years of studying His Word and striving to comprehend (and proclaim to my scientific peers) how He put tHis [SIC ...intentional] created universe together -- and crediting and praising Him with each discovery .
All I've done is follow the path He designed and equipped me to follow -- and personally revealed to me -- in a life-changing personal encounter with Him, ca 1957. (As I get it written up, I'm privately sharing that unique experience with A-G & bb. Perhaps when I'm done, I'll share it with a few other Believers...)

Wow! What a ride!!! :-)
