“Here is a lump of flesh about three pounds that you can hold in the palm of your hand. But it can contemplate the vastness of interstellar space, it can contemplate the meaning of infiniti, ask questions about the meaning of its own existence, about the nature of God, and this is truly the most amazing thing in the world. It’s the greatest mystery confronting human beings. How does this all come about?”
