Creation
Honestly. What are the odds? I’m not asking in the typical manner of out of millions of possibilities what is the likelihood that everything works out just so. Again, what are the odds? How many separate little factors could possibly be involved? Even almost infinitely complex ecosystems boil down to only so many phenomena that determine its existence. A collection of dust collects itself in the middle of space, a waving of an academic’s hand, and a star is formed. Yes, there are many different types of stars, I can appreciate that, but what fine haired difference could possibly be of importance in a roiling mass of fusing hydrogen an eternity away from anything else in the universe that it finds no need to produce planets that are not trapped in a frozen atmosphere or covered in boiling seas of lava? Even the stars that look like our own have shown no tolerance for a temperate world. What possible event, or series thereof, could cause such drastic changes in an object that dwarfs everything of which we can conceive? Only the emptiness within which it is set is greater than a star (or one collapsed). What butterfly’s wings flapped forth the cosmic ray storm that could cause such differences in creation?
Perhaps an explanation. I read today about a planet around a sun like star, but the planet is hypothesized to be covered in Lava. I started thinking of the exasperation of an astronomer searching for Earth like planets, and decided to run from there.
