Psalm 139. Wiser men did not need pictures to know when life began.

For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother's womb.
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.

My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.

One of the greatest expositions of that passage I've ever seen is Peter Leithart's Attacking the Tabernacle.

True, but even St. Thomas needed proof that Jesus in fact rose from the dead. Did that make him any less loved in the eyes of our Lord? Many early Christian converts were converted because of what their eyes saw -- miracles brought forth by Jesus and his disciples. Others saw the same miracles and did not believe -- they had no faith, even though their eyes saw.
