I could prove God statistically.Take the human body alone - the chances that all the functions of an individual would just happen is a statistical monstrosity.George Gallup________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to pres-ent your bodies as a living sacri-fice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Romans 12:1________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________

The love of husband and wife, which is creative of new human life, is a marvellously personal sharing in the creative love of God who brings into being the eternal soul that comes to every human being with the gift of human life. Vincent Nichols

Life is busy. There are daily con-cerns and obligations that have to be met, and to take time to think about how precious and special a human life is that you only get one, and that every wasted minuteis lost. You can’t get it back. Rush Limbaugh

Human life is created in God’s image, and that makes it sacred. Colin S. Smith________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I would rather be what God chose to make me than the most glorious creature that I could think of; for to have been thought about, born in God’s thought, and then made by God, is the dearest, grandest and most precious thing in all thinking. George MacDonald

Because you’re a creation of God, you reflect the Divine qualities of creativity, wisdom, and love. Doreen Virtue________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This act (creation), as it is for God, must always remain totally incon-ceivable to man. For we -- even our poets and musicians and inven-tors -- never, in the ultimate sense make. We only build. We always have materials to build from. All we can know about the act of creation must be derived from what we can gather about the relation of the creatures to their Creator. C.S. Lewis

God’s viewpoint is sometimes differentfrom ours - so different that we could not even guess at it unless He had given us a Book which tells us such things. . . In the Bible I learn that God values us not for our strength or our brains but simply because He has made us. Corrie ten Boom

Made as we were in the image of God we scarcely find it strange to take again our God as our All. God was our original habitat and our hearts cannot but feel at home when they enter again that ancient and beautiful abode. A.W. Tozer________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

But the dignity of human life is unbreakably linked to the existence of the personal-infinite God. It is because there is a personal-infinite God who has made men and wom-en in His own image that they have a unique dignity of life as human beings. Human life then is filled with dignity, and the state and humanistically oriented law have no right and no authority to take human life arbitrarily in the way it is being taken. Francis A. Schaeffer

Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own home. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neigh-bor . . . Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kind-ness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting. Mother Teresa

The care of human life and hap-piness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government. Thomas Jefferson ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It is God’s earth out of which man is taken. From it he has his body. His body belongs to his essential being. Man’s body is not his prison, his shell his exterior, but man him-self. Man does not “have” a body; he does not “have” a soul; rather he “is” body and soul. Man in the beginning is really his body. He is one. He is his body, as Christ is completely his body, as the Church is the body of Christ. Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Nothing we do to defend the hu-man person, no matter how small, is ever unfruitful or forgotten.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit with-in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price.

We’re all human, aren’t we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving. J.K. Rowling________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All life has inestimable value even the weakest and most vulnerable,the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces of God’s creation, made in his own image, destined to live forever, and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect. Pope Francis

Listen to me, O coastlands, and give attention, you peoples from afar. The LORD called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name. Isaiah 49:1________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We do not ask what hope of gain makes a little bird warble, since we know that it takes delight in sing-ing because it is for that very singing that the bird was made, so there is no need to ask why the human mind undertakes such toil in seeking out these secrets of the heavens. And just as other animals, and the human body, are sustained by food and drink, so the very spirit of Man, which is something distinct from Man, is nourished, is increased, and in a sense grows up on this diet of knowledge, and is more like the dead than the living if it is touched by no desire for these things. Johannes Kepler

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appoint-ed you a prophet to the nations. Jeremiah 1:5________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We cannot deal with people like human beings, we cannot deal with them on the high level of true hu-manity, unless we really know their origin-who they are. God tells man who he is. God tells us that He created man in His image. So man is something wonderful. Francis A. Schaeffer

God made the world for the de-light of human beings-- if we could see His goodness everywhere, His concern for us, His awareness of our needs: the phone call we’ve waited for, the ride we are of-fered, the letter in the mail, just the little things He does for us throughout the day. As we remem-ber and notice His love for us, we just begin to fall in love with Him because He is so busy with us -- you just can’t resist Him. I believe there’s no such thing as luck in life, it’s God’s love, it’s His. Mother Teresa

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. Psalm 139:13-16
