Thought for the Moment



Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. The atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. You are all stardust. All the things that matter for evolution and for life weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars. The only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today. - Lawrence Krauss

It's interesting to find out that there are others like me who look outward at the universe and refuse to consider the beliefs of the past to have the final say in who we are and how we come to be here.
