Quote of the Issue

“Thermodynamic miracles ... Events with odds against so astronomical they're effectively impossible, like oxygen spontaneously becoming gold. I long to observe such a thing. And yet, in each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. … To distill so specific a form from that chaos of improbability, like turning air to gold ... that is the crowning unlikelihood.
