    Physics -> chemistry -> biology. The further you zoom in, the more you come to grips with the just staggering number of hugely improbable events that lead to us being here. I feel bad for people who need to invoke religion to explain this, as it really hides the beauty of it all.

      Improbable? Maybe on the odds for one isolated event happening. But considering the vast amount of the universe there is, to me it seems more and more inevitable.

      Yeah, I was gonna specifically pick out biology. Feels like the more you know about it, the cooler it gets to just head outside and look at critters. Kind of like Pokémon, but real.
