    Quotes&Anecdotes
    This document provides three perspectives on the origins of life and the universe: 1) A statistician and astronomer argue that the complexities and precise matching required for life make its origins by chance alone statistically impossible. 2) A passage questions why an all-powerful God would need to use the process of evolution, rather than directly creating in six days as described in the Bible. It asserts evolution is a religion that aims to destroy faith in God. 3) A fable told by three monkeys suggests that while man may have descended, it did not happen from monkeys, as monkeys do not exhibit the immoral behaviors that distinguish humans.

    REFLECTIONS

    HEAVEN’S GIFT
    Reprint from The Observer
    It is not just the greatest show on Earth. It is the most spectacular display of heav-
    enly fireworks in the solar system. That is why this week’s total solar eclipse [August 11,
    1999] — the first in Britain since June 1927 — is so important.
    For a start, no other known planet has eclipses like those of Mother Earth. The clos-
    est worlds to the Sun — Mercury and Venus — have no moons. Mars has only tiny
    Deimos and Phobos, while the Sun is so remote and looks so small from the outer
    planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto — that the solar disc would be
    obliterated by a passing moon.
    Only Earth has a natural satellite the same size as the Sun when viewed from the
    ground, and so the former precisely blots out the latter. The Sun is 400 times bigger than the Moon, but it is also roughly 400
    times further away. “This exact matching of size is crucial in making this one of the greatest celestial events,” said Dr. Paul
    Murdin, of the British National Space Centre.
    “The Moon’s disc just covers the Sun and no more, precisely masking its harmful brilliance, making visible its solar promi-
    nences, inner corona, photosphere, and other fiery effects. Nowhere else gets a view like that.”

    The world-famed statistician George Gallup (1901–1984), said, “I could prove God statistically! Take the human body alone.
    The chance that all the functions of the individual would ‘just happen’ is a statistical monstrosity!”

    English astronomer and mathematician Sir Fred Hoyle (1915– ) has stated, “As biochemists discover more and more about
    the awesome complexity of life, it is apparent that its chances of originating by accident are so minute that they can be
    completely ruled out.”
