God in the..babies!!!

I’ve never been a big fan of any of the arguments for the existence for God, but this is at least noteworthy.

Yesterday on Oprah, which I don’t watch, but which my wife informs me of, they had on a lady who has a photographic memory for sound. I guess this means that she can recite whatever she hears. Anyhow, the story that was shared to substantiate her claim, was that when she was 2 years old, her mother played Beethoven’s 5th symphony on the piano and when her mother had finished, she hopped up on the piano bench and played it back perfectly.

Anyhow, here was what was impressive. This lady did research all over the world and found that there are five fundamental sounds that all babies make to indicate five different needs. Regardless of race, ethnicity, or origin all the babies made the same five noises to indicate the same five needs without any kind of training.

I find this interesting.

With the impending addition to your family... get ready to see God in LOTS of new ways. Exciting stuff.

I was wondering if the graphic was the actual ecogram(?) of the baby? The one on the left looks exactly like you. You're gonna be a great dad come March. Thanks for all the practice on our li'l monster!
