How many of you remember what a prism is? Did you ever hold one or place it down to watch it work?
A prism of glass can be used to bend different wavelengths of light by different amounts through a process called refraction. This bending separates a beam of white light into a spectrum of colored light. All those colors are in a ray of light but aren’t noticed without close scrutiny.
There was a professor who told his class that man is only a meaningless piece of protoplasm. He dismissed class early because of grief over his young daughter, whose life would be scarred because she had run off with an older man. A Christian student asked, “How can protoplasm scar or grieve or be mistreated?” The professor replied, “I can’t take my beliefs that far.”
