When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,... Psalm 8:3
"To a physicist like me, life looks to be a little short of magic: all
those 
dumb molecules conspiring to achieve such clever things!
dumb molecules conspiring to achieve such clever things! Q: How do
they do it?
–
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."
