God's Grace

2" x 2 1/2", ink and gouache on hemp paper.
I painted this as a gift; the hiragana down the left says "Nancy", the kanji on the right says "God's grace" (the meaning of the name, supposedly). The forget-me-not in the center is my signature.
It is said that an argument is what convinces reasonable men and a proof is what it takes to convince even an unreasonable man. With the proof now in place, cosmologists can no longer hide behind the possibility of a past-eternal universe. There is no escape, they have to face the problem of a cosmic beginning.
