Yoga Sanctuary Las Vegas
we are all going to die. we just don't know how, or when. easily snuffed out in an instant,what is life's meaning? oh, man! i see it, i see it.
Yoga Sanctuary Las Vegas, we're gonna get closer,we're gonna get closer. over 1,000 tornadoes rip throughthe united states every year. most do little damage.this one was different. there it is.
oh, my gosh! it's going to go downthat road right there. oh, gosh, that is a monster tornado! right up there on the back wall,that was the sanctuary, and that's where the altar was. behind that...was the house that i was in, just real close to it. the tornado destroyedthe city of joplin, missouri and killed 162 people.
that was green briar nursing home, and there were five peopledied in there. it's a terrible, terrible sight.it's an awful sight. in the face of catastrophe, this catholic priest finds comfortin his religious faith. i have to believe there's a plan and that god is going to accomplishsomething through this. i feel like godis doing something for us. i think we have to see somewherea higher power.
father monaghan's faithmust have been tested to the limit by this terrible experience. for those of us who don't believein any kind of gods, how do we cope? more and more people now realisethere is no god. yet religious values have dominatedour lives for hundreds of years and still have a hold over us. in this series i'm exploring whatreason and science can offer us in the place of religion to bring comfortin the face of death,
help us tell right from wrong, or provide meaning in an indifferentand uncaring universe. so do you think that we in the westare too materialistic? i think so. i suppose jesusis an unpaid babysitter. it's like, if i'm not watching you,jesus is. do you think mothers are evergoing to meet their babies again? yes. the mothers believe it,and the fathers.
if there is no god,what is the meaning of life? some of the greatest mindsin history have battled depression and even toyed with suicide,struggling to answer the ultimate questionthat we all face - what's the point? for many, there is no pointif there is no god. one of the questions i'm most oftenasked after giving a lecture is, "why do you botherto get up in the mornings?" this film is my attemptto answer that question.
like most english children, i was sent to christian schools and i was confirmed into thechurch of england at the age of 13. i believed in the christian god. a couple of years later,i realised it wasn't true. there was no god.there was nothing out there. many people have had that experience and different people respond to itin very different ways. one of the oddest reactions tofacing up to life without god
was that of the greatrussian novelist leo tolstoy. like me, tolstoy was brought upa christian and, as a young man, lost his faith. he had wealth, a family,and celebrity status thanks to his novels war and peaceand anna karenina. but in his late 40s, he beganto question everything. tolstoy was in despair, staring into an abyssof suicidal depression. he could find no answer to whattormented him.
why do i live? is there any meaning in my lifethat will not be annihilated by the inevitability of death? desperate to believe that lifehad a greater purpose, tolstoy scoured philosophy andthe sciences for what it might be, but his torment only deepened. you are a temporary incidentalaccumulation of particles. you are a randomly-unitedlump of something. eventually, tolstoy found an answer
and stepped back from the abyss. mount st bernard abbeyin leicestershire is home to 36 cistercian monks. and this, in essence,was tolstoy's solution - spiritual retreat and devotion. there are no special announcementsthis morning. our order is what's calleda contemplative order so we stay within the confinesof the monastery. we don't have schools,hospitals or parishes.
we stay within the monastery. and you're silentfor part of the day, is that right? we are, for a good part of the day,especially in the early morning. so the library is just up here. oh, my, this is very nice. it is a very nice library indeed,yes. 'like tolstoy,these monks live between two worlds. 'their library is betterthan i would have expected.' stephen hawking's universe,just six numbers, carl sagan.
excellent, very good. i wish i'd brought some of my booksto present to you! oh, there's one, there! we have one. oh, really? richard dawkins,modern science writing. oh, excellent! the oxford book ofmodern science writing. very good. there may be others, erm... well, i won't do that usual thingauthors do of looking for them! tolstoy's answer to the threatof meaninglessness
was to go backand consciously embrace god. he does exist. i had only to recognise thisfor an instant and i would feel the possibilityand joy of living. i returned to a belief in god. i now knewthat i could not live without it. as an old man, tolstoy separated himself fromsociety to lead a christian sect. he ended up, like these monks,a religious recluse.
but i want to know, can a personfind meaning and fulfilment, devoting himself to spiritual life? brother michael, one ofthe youngest monks in the order, has, like tolstoy, given upthe world and earthly possessions. my life i direct towards godand finding a relationship with god, and i find meaning in that, and as...hopefully i grow towardsgod, i'll grow towards other people. what do you miss about the lifeyou could've had? erm...
this morning i had to go tothe chemist, and on the way out,there was a young lady er... with her child, and as they walked down the street, they had tigger the tigerholding between their hands. tigger from winnie the pooh? tigger from winnie the pooh,and it stirred my heart. my heart sort of... you feel you'd have likedto have had a child of your own?
yeah. it's just like...yeah. i've given up a family,which is part of the life. i worry that these menare running from reality and squandering their lives. isn't facing up to the challengesof the real world what makes life worthwhile? - can you talk while polishing?- yes. brother william gave up a careeras a banker to join the monastery ten years ago.
the meaning of life for me is being there for other people. and it's a sacrifice that i'm willing to make. but if you want to do goodto other people, it seems a slightly odd wayto go about it to shut yourself awayin a monastery. couldn't you do more good if youwere out there in the outside world? you can see how our prayersaffect people's lives,
and how they've come througha personal problem, that they've felt our support here. (they chant) these monks find meaningin devotion to god, in prayer and solitude. they're entitled to their beliefsof course. but, what a slender life to lead when you could be out therein the real world, teaching, learning,maybe doing good.
it seemed to me to be a sort ofsadly inadequate life. not really a life at all. just very, very sad. of course, i don't believe in god, but i do understandtolstoy's predicament. i just don't see how cloisteringyourself away like this can add meaning to life. perhaps a better approach would beto embrace life's uncertainties and take a few risks?
many of our greatest mindshave struggled with the idea that if there is no god,life has no meaning. one of the bleakest reactionswas that of graham greene. greene was of course to become one of the great catholic writersof the 20th century, but as a young manhe was agnostic. he was also recklessand extremely bored. he carried what he calledhis "war against boredom" to a shocking and dangerous extreme.
greene livedto the ripe old age of 86, but statistically he shouldn'thave made it past 19. "i remember very clearlythe afternoon i found the revolver "in the brown deal corner cupboard,in a bedroom "which i shared with myelder brother. "it was the early autumn of 1923. "i slipped the revolverinto my pocket "and the next i remember, "was crossing the berkhamstead commontowards ashridge beaches."
greene had been reading a book aboutsoldiers during the russian civil war. away from the frontline, they inventedhazardous games to avoid boredom. "this was not suicide, "whatever a coroner's jurymight have said, "it was a gamble... with five chances to oneagainst an inquest. "i slipped a bullet into a chamber "and holding the revolverbehind my back "spun the chambers round.
"i put the muzzle of the revolverinto my right ear." chamber clicks "there was a minute click and looking down i could seethe charge had moved into the firing position. "i was out by one." graham greene lived by chance. he had absolutely no control over the outcomewhen he pulled the trigger. what greene did was utterly crazy.
no matter how bored i was, i would never trust my life tochance in such a way. but the reality is that we haveless control over our lives than we might like to think. when a tornado struck joplin,missouri in may 2011, death and destruction wereindiscriminate. the young graham greene would haveembraced the truth of that tornado. joplin's fate hung on chance, just like his game of russian roulette.
while 7,000 buildingswere blown away, others survived unscathed. there is tremendous survivor's guiltin the community. that, i haven't experienced before. survivor's guilt meaning why did isurvive when someone else died? why did that little child died? i'm 70 years of age,why didn't you take me, god? why should that motherlose that child? but do you think he could havestopped the tornado?
of course he could, he could stopanything he wants. then, why didn't he? er... - ..because we don't understand,it's a mystery! - he is a mystery? he is a mystery, and... i can't intellectually explain that. and if someone tries to do that, they're gonna come to a dead end and say it makes no sense.
it's almost moving the wayreligious people struggle, twist and turnto find some excuse for this, some sort of meaning,some part of god's plan. if it was part of anybody's plan, what an unthinkably awful planit would have to be! but even if you're an atheist, the idea of living or dyingby chance alone is hard to accept. atheists may thinkthey've given up god, but it's only human to clingto the idea that
"things happen for a reason". if you look at the misfortuneand fortune in human life,in the universe generally, there is no pattern as relatesto people, the pattern is entirelyrelated to physics. the universe has exactlythe properties we'd expect if there was no plan,no design, no aim, just blind indifferent...forces of nature. if, like graham greene, youunderstand life as a game of chance,
and if you believe there isno god pulling your strings, making plans for you,why not just play the game? the great gambling game of life. unbelievable place. it's sort of trying to bethe seven wonders of the world. look at that medieval castle there. there's the statue of liberty. there's a replica of venicesomewhere. there's the chrysler building.
i'm often told that my visionof a godless future is just as devoid of meaningas las vegas. that without god,all you're left with is materialism and mindless slot machines. but i've come herebecause i think las vegas reveals something fascinating, humanity's deep-seated beliefthat we can prevail over chance. people come here filled with hope. everybody knows the casinos
have a terrific mark-up percentagefor the house, and yet they still go onfeeding that hope, and feeding the slot machinesand losing their money. hey, richard. how's it going? ok. you winning? - no, i've lost every time so far.- oh, my god! well, now your luck's gonna change,because i know physics! he may look like a card sharp,
but the gentleman in the shadesis actually a physicist. leonard mlodinow is fascinated by how human beings areincapable of understanding chance. 32. i won and i lost. when people are playingthese games we see around us, am i right that many of them, even if there's absolutely no biasbetween red and black, many people will say,
"oh, well it has been red, red, red,for such a long time, it's black's turn." that's right. that's calledthe gambler's fallacy. i you flip a coin a zillion times, you're going to get abouthalf a zillion heads and half a zillion tails. so people's thinking goes, if theybothered to logically think about it, is that,"ok, i've seen 10 tails in a row, "so if it's gonna behalf heads and half tails, the heads better catch up."
- but that's not the way it works.- ok. you could throw it a zillion timesand get all heads. the point about our brain is that it insists on seeing order,meaning and pattern even where there is none. it's a very human characteristic to fool ourselvesthat we are in control. in today's world,it seems that we make more mistakes seeing patterns that aren't there
rather than missing patternsthat are there. in fact, there's a great experimenton that, they put a rat in front of ared light and a green light. and the red light andthe green light flash without any pattern, at random. but the green light flashes75% of the time, and the red light flashes25% of the time. and the rat, if it guesses correctlywhich is going to flash, it gets a little sugar water.
so when they let the rats do this, they see after a while that the green light is flashingmore than the red light and they just start guessing green,green, green, green, every time. and they get it right 75% of thetime and are happy with that. which is sensible. - that's what you should do.- yeah. but people, we thinkwe know better, right? so when they put humansin front of such an experiment,
most people won't dowhat the rat does. they've seen that it's 75% greenand they'll guess a pattern. they'll go, green, green, red,green, green, green, red. they'll start spewing outthese red and greens in some weird pattern that's tailored to be75% green and 25% red, thinking that they can,you know, beat the system, just like the people herein the casino think they can. and when you do that,you end up about,
i think, 60% of the time youget it right, instead of 75%. and so the humans areout performed by a rat. that's because we see patternswhere there aren't any. that's just the wayour minds work. too clever by half. or too cleverby three quarters, in this case. too clever, yes. i'm going to throw everythingon my birthday. yours is the 26th?mine is the 26th! oh, wow!
both our birthdays are the 26th!so... (laughs) 26 is even soi'm going to win that too. maybe i should put thison odd? perhaps this is part of theexplanation why religion evolved inthe first place, it satisfied our desperate desire tofind meaning and order in the chaos. in playing the ultimate gameof chance, russian roulette, the young graham greenegrasped what so many of us fail to, there is no pattern.
26! 26! we have no control. ooh! we came so close! greene took his chancesand pulled the trigger on another five occasions, before the effect of what he called"his adrenaline drug" wore off. what greene did may seem crazy, but there is a grim logic to it. seize the reins,dance with death!
you're going to die anyway. happily for greene,he beat the odds. greene would later convert toroman catholicism, but russian roulette of a kindstayed with him. as a journalist and spy, greene risked his lifein numerous war zones. "the fear of ambush served mejust as effectively "as the revolver from thecorner cupboard, in the life-long waragainst boredom."
tolstoy found meaningby hiding himself away. greenewent in the opposite direction. but the next great mindi shall consider tried to argue meaning into even themost meaningless toil imaginable. more and more of us now do notbelieve in god or life after death. we live and then we die,and that's it. we are born by chance, and our lives are shapedby chance events. i know this is a difficult pillto swallow for many people,
especially those for whom religionstill has a hold over their lives. many people have struggledto come to terms with the reality of a purely physical universe. so, how do we find meaning? the second world war laid barethe extent of man's capacity for evil. in paris, philosophers likealbert camus met in cafes like this, to try to make senseof the brutality. "without the aid of eternal values,it is legitimate
"and necessary to wonderwhether life has a meaning." camus was interestedin what he called "the absurd", that our life must havemeaning for us to value it, but we live in a worldthat offers no meaning. unlike tolstoy and graham greene,camus rejected religion as a source of the meaninghe craved. he found inspirationin another myth. the story of a man whomthe ancient greek gods had cursed. camus consoled himselfwith the myth of sisyphus,
in which sisyphus was condemnedto spend his whole time rolling a boulder up a mountain andthen it rolled to the bottom again, he went to the bottomand rolled it up again, and this went on forever. for camus, accepting even thismost futile and repetitive of tasks and not giving up, itself had value. "the struggle itself towardsthe heights "is enough to fill a man's heart. "we must imagine sisyphus happy."
camus took comfort from this because by going to the bottomof the mountain again and rolling the stone back up,he was at least doing something. but can we really find meaningin futile work? sisyphus may seem admirableto a french intellectual, but i don't see the appealof resigning oneself to life's injustices. india - one of the fastest developing
and most unequaleconomies in the world. the human condition doesn'tcome much more human than this, or much more extreme. everything's going on -the noise, the bustle. it's like an ant-heap of activity. it's a terrifyingand yet rather a moving sight. this latter-day sisyphusis called hori lal. his struggle is to clean the streets and the public lavatoryhere in varanasi.
his task is as endless as sisyphus'boulder-rolling. these streets are never clean. do you enjoy your job? translation: yes, yes.i enjoy doing my job. do you do the same thingevery day? translation:yes, i do it every day. how long have you beendoing this job? translation:it must be 20 years now. what hope do you havefor the future?
translation:what hope can i have? i have a job to doand i will continue doing it. translation:it's fate. what we have been made,we will remain. it can't be changed. i suppose there is somethinga bit inspiring about hori lal's cheerfulness and good humourin the face of life's hardships. perhaps it's what camus sawin the myth of sisyphus, and it's certainly a wonderful antidote
to us whingers in the rich west, when we dare to moan aboutpatchy mobile phone reception, or the cost of supermarket food. but what bothers me is why hori lalhas been cursed like sisyphus. it's because here, life's lottery begins at birth, thanks to the confinesof the ancient caste system. this is the sunday editionof the hindustan times and it's got a section called"matrimonials",
in which fathers advertisefor husbands for their daughters. and there's a sectioncalled "brides", where men advertise for wives. and the men are usually describedas handsome. the women are oftendescribed as "homely", which i presume meanshome-loving. but a curious thingabout this matrimonials page is the way it's classified. there are headings like brahmin,
and other names fromthe ancient hindu caste system, whereby society is stratified into levels, into separate castes, which are not supposedto marry each other. ancient hindu scripturedivided society into four distinct groupsthat you could be born into - scholars... warriors... merchants...
and labourers. falling outside this systemwere the dalits, the untouchables, who, like hori lal, were condemned to shovelthe excrement of the higher castes. this is where i thinkcamus got it wrong. rather than accept fate,surely meaning is found when we revoltagainst outrageous fortune? - mahendra? - yes.- very nice to meet you. - please come. - thank you.
translation: whenmy father died, i was told that because there is no moneyin the family now, you can't study any more. at that time i was very sad because i had this dreamfrom the start, i have to study. like hori lal,mahendra is a dalit. his father died whenhe was 14 years old, leaving the family penniless. mahendra spent the next four yearsworking as a bonded labourer,
weaving saris. but, unlike sisyphus,mahendra defied the gods and threw his boulder away. translation: i had to face so muchdiscrimination in the society for being a dalit that i felteducation could be a good medium to get out of the system. a lot of people in your positionwould probably have given up. i hugely admire youfor not giving up, but what drove you at that time?
translation: i had always feltthat i have to become a part of the mainstream society. and that is why i have this thingthat i have to study a lot and earn money so thati can reach mainstream society. today, mahendra is studyingfor a master's degree and wants to fight the dalit cause - help other boulder-rollers breakfree from their struggle. it is wonderful to see howan individual can bring himself out of poverty and downtrodden-ness.
with mahendra,we come closer to finding at least one worthwhilemeaning of life. he is creating his own meaning, but it has a deeper purpose, making a difference to others as well. we can find meaning in struggle, but we have to defineour own meaning in our own struggle, not one dictated by the gods, by authorityor by accident of birth.
so i think meaning is subjective, something personalwe may not all agree on. but that shouldn't be an invitationto egotism or self-absorption. here in northern india,westerners still come in droves in the hope of finding some deepermeaning in eastern mysticism. people go up mountainsfor refreshment, they go up mountains for wisdom. moses went up mount sinaiand came down with the tabletsof traditional hebrew wisdom.
there are lots of peoplewho come from all over the world to a place like this,up a mountain like this, where there's a tibetan monastery, seeking what they would call"spiritual wisdom". geshe lhakdoris a master of tibetan buddhism. he's the dalai lama'sofficial translator and archivist. the complete teachingof the buddha is aimed towards transforming your mental outlook because the ultimate purposeis to remove
all kinds of problems and sufferings. and problems and sufferingsand disturbances cannot be removedby relying on external forces or external material sources,or your relatives and friends. at the end of the day, the realsource of long-lasting peace and happinesshas to come from within. for a buddhist, what matters is acceptingthat reality will always change. to be happy in this changing reality,
buddhists teach thatwe must eliminate our attachments to peopleand possessions. i sort of half understand that. they try to get that senseof direction or happiness from material accumulation, from marriage, from wealth,from name, but in all these cases here or there, they geta lot of problems, a lot of difficulties. so do you think that we,in the west, are too materialistic
in our way of life? to be honest,i think so. i think i would agree with youthat one doesn't want to devote one's life to accumulating material,hedonistic happiness... i'm not sure thati would look inward though. i think i would i might gethappiness from... music and from science.... exactly. then you do somethingthat is creative,
something that really satisfiesyour inner arts, you know. yes, but meditating and lookinginwards doesn't sound to me as though that's really doing that.perhaps it helps... of course, of course. the peace and happiness, the tranquillity that you get when you know how tostay alone and go within cannot be measured by anything else. while i agree thatan unhealthy consumerism
dominates our lives today,how convincing is it that we should detach ourselves fromthe real world through meditation? the great minds we've looked at,tolstoy, greene and camus, all stood outin deeply religious times. but we are now at a pointin history, in the west at least, when more people than everare atheist. so if we are finally shaking offthe influence of god, how nowadays do we find meaning? i'm going to talk to an outspokensatirist of modern life.
that's that. no.that's that. religion is that "nooooo!" we've seen that there isn'ta simple, single answer to the meaning of lifein a world without god. meaning is somethingwe need to carve out for ourselves. we have to find our own meaning from the opportunitiesand challenges that life throws our way, even if that does meandefying convention sometimes.
i'm going to meet a man who hasdefinitely defined his own way and made a huge success of it, but he has ruffledquite a few feathers in doing so. thanks to everyone in the roomfor being good sports. thanks to nbc.thanks to hollywood foreign press. um, thank you forwatching at home. and thank you to godfor making me an atheist. when i signed off the golden globesby saying... and thanked godfor making me an atheist,
now, clearly,that was a play on words. um, it was a little bit of a redressing the balance to everyonewho thanks god for winning an award. i've never seen so much outrage as thanking godfor making me an atheist. now, correct me if i'm wrong. if god exists, he did make me an atheist, didn't he? didn't he? why did he do that?
i read about that.it was astonishing. i mean, it really did causeoutrage, did it? you usually have to... murder and eat someone to get that much publicityin america. how funny. yeah. - how very funny.- yeah. when did you first realisethat you didn't believe in god?
my next brother, bob,when i was about eight... he was 11 years older than meso he was about 19. and i was drawinga picture of jesus for bible studies and he, er...he came in and he looked at it and he went, "why do you believe in god?" and my mum went "bob!" and i knew from body language.
why didn't she even wantthe question? oh. she was hiding something from me. and i thought about it... and it all made sense. then i started readingand, um, i've, er... i've been an atheist for 40 years. i love that some peoplemistake atheists for satanists. oh, yes.
i go, "no,i don't believe in him either." he's just as ludicrous.i don't believe in him. why can't god sort out satan? why can't he? he's all-powerful.what's he doing? what's he doing? 'so, why does a 21st-century britishatheist get up in the morning?' i think you have to have worth. i think you have to feel in yourselfyou have worth. friends, family,a loving relationship... um...
just because we're humanand that's how we're built. and for me personally,something creative. it doesn't have to be paintingthe sistine chapel. it can be gardening, but i think you have to do somethingand enjoy it and fill you free time and stand backand think, "i did that." these are all reasonsto stay around... for as long as you can. i would agree with all that,and i think i would add
"understanding" as well. religious believers tell me they're puzzled that non-believerslike ricky gervais and me can find any meaning or purposein a godless existence. but, for me,the world teems with meaning. it is up to each of usto give our own lives meaning through our work,our relationships, and passions, and, i think,through one other thing - understanding who we are,
and trying to understandwhy we're here. that has been the missionof western science, the most important tooli believe mankind has ever invented. for centuries,human eyes could see clearly no further than only a few miles. telescopes enabled our eyesto leap outwards, and see distant starsmillions of miles away. even better than that, a telescopeis a kind of time machine.
because it takes light so longto reach us from a distant star, when you look at a distant star you're looking backwards in time, maybe hundreds of millions of years. and if you look at a distant galaxy, you may be looking at the originof the universe itself. you're looking at the very beginningof space and time - the big bang. humanity's gaze has also turnedtowards inner space.
microscopes have unlockedour understanding of the cells that make up all living things and revealed the world ofthe smallest and simplest organisms around us and in us. the new science of genetics has unexpectedlycompletely revolutionised and unified our understandingof life on earth. meanwhile, physics hasdiscovered particles smaller by fareven than the atom.
and at laboratories like cern, scientists studying the collisionsof these particles are on the cusp of understanding how the universe got startedin the first place. the poet john keats voiced whatmany people fear about science - ..that, in explaining the world,it makes it... less amazing, less extraordinary,somehow banal. "philosophy will clipan angel's wings, "conquer all mysteriesby rule and line,
"empty the haunted airand gnomed mine - "unweave a rainbow." keats could not have beenmore wrong. isaac newton's unweavingof the rainbow led directly to a massivedeepening and widening of our understandingof the universe. it led to james clerk maxwell'stheory of electromagnetism and from there to einstein'sspecial theory of relativity. if you think the rainbowhas poetic mystery,
you should try relativity. science does the oppositeof making things banal. it's about unleashing curiosity anduncovering more mysteries to solve. we take so much for granted, we've become anaesthetised by ourfamiliarity with what's around us. science shakes off the anaesthetic and we look againwith new and clearer eyes. if you founda bramble in your garden, you'd probably think itan annoying weed.
but like every other plantand every other animal, it is an astonishing pieceof natural engineering. a leaf is a chemical factory. it's a flat-roofed factory andon the flat roof are solar panels gathering sunlight to drivethe machinery of the factory. there are wheels, almost literallywheels going round and round, biochemical wheels, driven by the energy from the sun and manufacturing foodfor the plant - sugars.
and the sugars are then piped in this, what almostlooks like a river system, into the central stem and into the rest of the plant. that's where all the foodfor the plant comes from and even our food comes from thatbecause we eat plants, or we eat animals that eat plants, and so the energythat drives our bodies, every one of our trillions of cells
comes ultimately from the sun and it flows down a river system like this, ultimately into us. it gets even better - the genetic codethat's used by this plant is the same as the onethat's used by you. even 50% of the genes are the same. this plant is your cousin.
just a weed? 'some people would saythat the scientific view 'is rather bleak and cold.do you find it bleak?' there's no god-fearing personof any religion who... feels as much awe as me as when i see... a mountain or a tree. or the stars.
or, um... anything in scienceand nature and art. and you and i are privilegedto be here to enjoy it, even if for a short time. that's a wonderful thought. we cherish this life. it's sacred... so enjoy it. this is all we've gotand it's brilliant.
make the most of it. - make the most of it.- it's brilliant! it's amazing! we are lucky to be born. we win the lotteryjust in being here at all. your unique identityis the result of one sperm amongst hundreds of millions fertilising one particular eggin one particular sexual exchange. and the same lucky breakhad to favour your ancestors
in every generationback to the very beginning of life. and we are luckierstill as individuals to have been born now. we have so much available to us - possible only throughthe understanding that science has already given us. just look how farwe've come in my lifetime - we've got life-saving medicine,super-computers, the internet. we can travel further and faster,higher and deeper than ever before.
we constantly pushat the frontiers of possibility. imagine what's still to come! we are made by the laws of physics working throughfour billion years of evolution. we have a brief window of lifethrough which to see the universe and understandhow we came to be in it. the truth may not always becomforting in the face of suffering, but it has a majesty of its own. that's what i tell peoplewhen they ask me,
