A unique story of faith

"I've spoken to a Chinese physicist who converted from atheism to Christianity because ice floats. He told me that every other liquid sinks when it freezes. If water sand when it froze, he assured me, the earth would be entirely lifeless. We exist because water behaves in this odd way. That, he said, cannot be a coincidence and so he believes in our Creator God."

from "Why I love being a priest" by Fr. Charles B. Gordon, C.S.C. in U.S. Catholic, March, 2011
