Nutrition - can be compared to splitting the atom

03/10/2010

If you have not eaten for twenty-four or forty-eight hours and you are given a piece of fruit, the moment you taste it you begin to receive energies - your thinking clears, your feelings warm up. Where can this energy have come from? Even before food reaches your stomach to be digested, in fact as soon as it is in contact with your mouth, your nervous system is already being nourished. But are there any scientists who bother to study the subtle side of nutrition? Everyone is amazed when physicists reveal that splitting the atom, an infinitely small particle of matter, can produce enough energy to operate powerful machines. But that a similar phenomenon may take place in relation to nutrition, where we ourselves are on a daily basis both agent and beneficiary - who cares about that? That a bit of matter we take in is enough to fill our entire being with pure energies is of no interest to anyone, and, anyway, people don't even believe it. But tell me, why would human beings, who are created in the image of God, accomplish less than nuclear physics researchers?
