Catechism of The COE
#21
I understand the question now. I have thought about that from time to time. Well I guess it does deplete at the molecular level, short of a miraculous intervention.

Perhaps if the legend is accurate there are a few atoms of the original left somewhere in one of those jars. Scientifically speaking it's been nearly 2,000 years and many millions of divisions probably. I wouldn't be surprised if all the original atoms are gone and have been recycled into more wheat, maybe.

I find this topic very interesting. I recently got into brewing beer. Did you know some of the monasteries in Europe have the same strain of yeast for hundreds of years? They save the live cells from the trub on the bottom and culture them to use in the next batch. Gives a unique taste to their brew, and many are patented. I bought some Belgian Trappist monk yeast, and for the last few batches at home I've been recapturing the yeast to use for the next brewing session. Don't mean to compare beer yeast to the Holy Leaven, I'm just babbling on.

Sourdough bread is the same thing I guess.

Aren't we all just recycled atoms from the moment of the Creation?

Anyway the subject matter is one that, like so many things, makes combining faith and science frustrating. How could the Creator that even the universe cannot contain, use the cherubim on the ark as a throne? How can I build a house for You?, asked Solomon.

Getting off the soapbox now.
