      Yes it’s true, sometimes I do thing the world and everything else is some what an accident. Maybe other terms I would use is a coincidence or even a miracle. Especially when you think about how big the universe is and how many planets and stars there are, the fact that Earth is the only known planet to contain life as we know it is quite amazing.

      It’s also true that some scientific discoveries were a result of an accident – such as that of penicillin.

      I think science is the study of these so called ‘accidents.’ Trying to understand why everything on Earth happened the way it did.
