How Much Are You Worth?
Alan J. Smith in his book Religion and New Psychology stated,
"Todays researchers tell us that atoms m a human body have an energy potential
of 11,400,000 Kilowatt hours per pound worth about 570 million dollars,
or a total of $855 billion for a 150 pound person." Lawrence Gulton writes
in Pagent magazine, "Eventhough your brain will forget more than 90 % of
what you learn during your lifetime, it may still store up as much as ten
times more information than there is in the Libray of Congress, with its
nine million volumes."
I have no idea how accurate these individuals are, but even
if they are only part right, it makes us appreciate more our uniqueness
We are not individuals who just happened to come on the scene as a result
of evolutional chance, but a special creation, made in the image of God
created to brmg honor and glory to Him.
But, even if the two authors above are wrong, and we are made
up of various chemicals that amount to less than a dollar, the value as
another writer has said, that does not make me any less valuable in the
eyes of my creator You cannot put a dollar amount on a soul that will live
eternally.
