"In order for Life to have appeared spontaneously on Earth, there first had to be hundreds of millions of protein molecules wandering in the Universe. The Ninth Configuration.
But given the size of the planet Earth, and the one of the Universe, do you know how long it would have taken for just one of these protein molecules to appear entirely by chance?
Roughly ten to the two hundred and forty-third power billions of years. And I find that far, far more fantastic than simply believing in God".

Oh, so lonely.
All that space... just... empty space. And so far from home. I've circled round and round this house, orbit after orbit.
Sometimes I wonder what it'd be like never to stop, and circle alone up there forever. And what if I got there - got to the Moon - and couldn't get back?
Sure, everyone dies, but I'm afraid to die ALONE, so far from home.
And if there's no God, then that's really, REALLY alone...".
