A (possibly real) Abe Lincoln story and life lesson I heard was that Abe asked his advisors "If you call a lamb's tail a leg, how many legs does a lamb have?'.

When some of them said five he replied "No four. Calling it a leg does not make it one".

Sounds like 'onest Abe must have spent a bit of time tugging on the fifth leg of lamb? hahahahahaha

The suggestion was that science and religion are not oppositional or exclusionary powers when it comes to the thinking of people in science. Quite interesting really.

Always tricky as some want to talk about it and others don't. Maybe go for a walk as there's a lot of changing scenery. Sitting blankly may lead to him dwelling on it all. Something like a drive with a lookout or two.

Thx a drive is a good idea. I wanted to buy him a six pack but I don't want to encourage drinking for people

Don’t offer sex to take his mind off it, he might take it the wrong way.

I usually just go with ‘if there’s anything I can help you with let me know’

Tbh, you come across as a nice person so I am sure you just reaching out and acknowledging would be enough for him.
