God can do anything. People are not able to achieve anything but because we have been given free will and many abilities we can do a lot.

Aren’t lenses amazing things? Not only do they enable us to see clearly with the aid of our glasses, but they reveal so much more to us besides, whether through hand-held lenses, optical microscopes, telescopes, binoculars, or electron microscopes.
