"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth"

Great bumper sticker:

God spoke, and BANG! It happened.

Beautiful pic. Thank You.

Dust is molecular, which are combinations of atoms; and atoms of electrons - which are leptons - and protons, which are combinations of 3 quarks, up, up & down by their internal angular momentum....

Whereas in the fantastic multiplicative complexity of biology! despite increasingly serious attempts since the 1950s, we've yet to generate life.

Intimately related, equally mysterious, but that God would give us the ability to discern....

I'm having a good time tonight thinking about Christmas and where we came from. My kids are yelling at me and the music is good. We are all stardust and it can't be any better than this. Is Sartre anywhere to be found?

Isn't this the same process, but on a larger scale, that we are seeing with the rings around Saturn, Jupiter?

There appear to be moons being formed from the dust of the rings.
