I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalm 139:14
"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.

highly distinctive form of order. Even chemists, who are familiar with
the amazing transformative powers of molecules, find it breathtaking."
