Psalm 139
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mothers womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Dr. Krauthammer communicates so clearly and I always appreciate his intelligent insights. My prayer is that his metaphysics on this issue becomes a truth some day.
