The power of faith

I was reading up on today's QT, and came across this:

British scientist Thomas Huxley (1825-1895) vigorously supported the theory of evolution, which earned him the nickname "Darwin's bulldog." As an agnostic, he believed religion was a harmful superstition.

One day Huxley asked a deeply committed Christian, "What does your faith mean to you?" Knowing Huxley's skepticism, the man paused and then replied, "You are very educated, and you can dispute anything I say."

Huxley urged him to explain why he was a Christian. So from his heart the man told what Jesus meant to him. Huxley, deeply moved, didn't argue. Wistfully he said, "I'd give my right hand for your faith in Jesus."

...just shows the power of true faith of the heart....
