*** The presence of divinitybecame almost palpable. I knew that life in the universe was not just an accident based on random processes. This knowledge came to me directly, noetically. It was an experiential cognition--- Edgar Mitchell, former astronaut Apollo 14 after seeing the Earth from Moon
***Does it sound to you as though it would need a miracle to make randomly jostling atoms join together into a self-reproducing molecule? Well, at times it does to me too---Richard Dawkins, biologist/atheist/skeptic
***...merely to create a bacterium would require more time than the Universe might ever see if chance combinations of its molecules were the only driving force.....In short life could not have started by chance---Gerald Schroder, physicist
***Life is the transmutation of energy and matter. Solar fire transmutes into the green fire of photosynthetic beings---Margulies and Sagan, biologists
***The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a print shop---Albert Einstein, physicist
