Chapter 97: He is Alive

• After hearing Troy’s story to its conclusion, I began to cry. I lay on my knees and wept as I had never wept before. Eventually, Troy put his hand on my knee, and he asked me if I wanted to know what Jonathan had said after hearing the story. I had been told that this was a funny story, which it wasn’t, so I did want to know.
• I nodded my head, and I said, “Tell me.”
• Troy smiled and said, “I will tell you what Jonathan said. He explained that the hedgehog and the fish represent two worldviews. According to a naturalist, the two animals are incompatible. It is only when God steps into the picture that the unnatural becomes possible. That being said, not everything that can be imagined should be permissible. Even if a fish could mate with a hedgehog, its offspring would be an abomination.
