"For a long time I have found the materialist account of how we
and our fellow organisms came to exist hard to believe, including the standard version of how the evolutionary process works. The more details we learn about the chemical basis of life and the intricacy of the genetic code, the more unbelievable the standard historical account becomes....it seems to me that, as...usually presented, the current orthodoxy about the cosmic order is the product of governing assumptions that are unsupported, and that it flies in the face of common sense."
— Philosopher Thomas Nagel, Mind & Cosmos (2012)
All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee,
Psalm 35:10
