Day 68: If We are Uniquely Born, We are Even More Uniquely Gifted


1Science does paint an impossible possibility - us.  Somewhere in our makeup is the God seed - the essence of the creator, and from this comes Religion, Science, thought, expression, art, war - no other being on earth has this capacity to the level that we do.  If we are uniquely born, we are even more uniquely gifted.


1Basically, the possibility that you exist is as impossible as 1 over 30,000 factorials and the possibility that we would not have been born is as sure as the sun will rise. Even the most optimistic of calculations cannot help but be pessimistic toward this brutal fact. Richard Dawkins said, "In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here." - from Drops of Ink - The Beauty of Life according to Science, Saturday, July 13, 2013
