About Life
The winds carry scatter across the planet the seeds of life to bring forth the grass and the flowers and woods. The eternal winds of the universe are rushing along. What do they do? No one knows. But I am sure that nature has created us, endowed us with intelligence, so that we, like her servant, the winds, can carry life into the vast and limitless emptiness and to its innumerable worlds. Reason should win out on earth and then in the whole universe.
Glazkov, Yuri
My own view is that although we do not yet know fundamental physical laws, when and if we find them the possibility of life in a universe, governed by those laws will be written into them. The existence of life in the universe is not a selective principle acting upon the laws of nature; rather it is a consequence of them.
Pagels, Heinz
We are not alone in the universe, and do not bear alone the whole burden of life and what comes of it. Life is a cosmic event- so far as we know the most complex state of organization that matter has achieved in our cosmos. It has come many times, in many places- places closed off from us by impenetrable distances, probably never to be crossed even with a signal. As men we can attempt to understand it, and even somewhat to control and guide its local manifestation. On this planet that is our home, we have very reason to visit it well. Yet should we fail, all is not lost. Our kind will try again elsewhere.
