We do not mark
We do not mark out any precise line to be followed in diet; but we do say that in countries where there are fruits, grains, and nuts in abundance, flesh food is not the right food for God’s people. Ellen G. White
Precise
God is a meticulous
God is a meticulous clockmaker. So precise is His order that everything on earth happens in its own time. Neither a minute late nor a minute early. And for everyone without exception, the clock works accurately. For each there is a time to love and a time to die. Elif Safak

But none of these technologies are precise. With optogenetics, we can aim light at a single cell, or a set of cells, and turn just that set … Read more
