"But thats for schools and their science books. Guarantees do not exist in the grown world. My striving only increases my chances of being higher and my time being more accountable - everything in the universe is probabilistic. My mind is part of this universe. So my mind is probabilistic: I can only attempt at increasing my chances of knowing without being sure of knowing. The billions of millions of planets show it in a way. If there was one planet with one Sun, a moon and its company of stars it could be attributed to the grace of a god. If there were not so many species of plants and animals mutated over thousands of years from one cell (and to imagine the freak event to have caused this single cell in itself) - emptiness was placed but so much has evolved! The odds of us not being here were so fantastically high, and yet, they have been overcome only because there exist so many galaxies, species, people and Time!!"

There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.
- Leonard Cohen.
