"To a physicist like me, life looks to be a little short of magic: all those dumb molecules conspiring to achieve such clever things! How do they do it?
There is no orchestrator, no choreographer directing the performance,
no esprit de corps,
no collective will, no life force – just mindless atoms pushing and pulling on each other, kicked about by random thermal fluctuations.
Yet the end product is an exquisite and highly distinctive form of order.
Even chemists, who are familiar with the amazing transformative powers of molecules, find it breathtaking." — Paul Davies, The Eerie Silence, Astrobiology Magazine, April 15, 2010
And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD:
Psalm 89:5
