-1. Intro to Life

“That’s impossible!”
“You’re not going to believe this!”
“I don’t believe this!”

   We live in a very large universe. Our Earth only takes up so little, even a fraction of a percent of the entire universe is beyond our comprehension. Yet we decide that there are things that are impossible. There are a definite number of things that are possible. We’ve only observed what we can of our microscopic portion of the universe. Who are we to declare such absurd statements?
   Things can happen. They’ve happened before. Things that people say are impossible or would never happen – they’ve happened. Most come quietly – it never rises to the attention of the world as a whole. Some do not come quietly – and those are what catch the entire world off guard. Anything can happen. What are the chances? Not very high.
   If anything can happen, can everything that can happen all happen at once?
