Mysteries of Nature:
1) It is never possible to know precisely both the position and the velocity of a particle at the same time. (The basis of quantum physics...the short version.)
2) Everything in the Universe is fallible. Everything. Why is it that we can’t bring ourselves to accept that this axiom might also apply to God?
3) “Latent in every man is a venom of amazing bitterness, a black resentment; something that curses and loathes life, a feeling of being trapped, of having trusted and been fooled, of being the helpless prey of impotent rage, blind surrender, the victim of savage, ruthless power that gives and takes away, enlists a man, drops him, promises and betrays, and - crowing injury - inflicts on him the humiliation of feeling sorry for himself.” --- Paul Valery
4) Three jokes God played on evolution: The main one is to propel the process through catastrophic episodes of mass extinction. Another is to give us consciousness but then saddle us with so many unwanted legacies from the past, like dealing with an enormous sexual drive, or having the kind of emotions that make us very upset when we realize we’re going to die. The third one is to give us the kind of mentality that makes us think that we’re the most important creatures on earth when we’re surrounded by insects and bacteria who are doing much better than we are.” --- Pete Townsend
