I think I like wildflowers best, " I explain. "They just grow wherever they want. No one has to plant them. And then their seeds blow in the wind and they find a new place to grow." (Richelle)

About This Quote

The idea that nature has no purpose or reason for its existence is an appealing one to many people. This is because it frees us from the task of having to explain the world around us. The world, like our own minds, can be understood in terms of pure chance and necessity, with no need for design or planning. But what if this idea is wrong? What if the world is not just a random collection of events but a place where there are rules, laws, patterns, and purpose? It seems that if there are rules then the reason why these rules exist must also exist.
