182. I don't say that in the "every sparrow" or every atom sense.
It's more like "there will be creatures of free will."

The basis of my faith always boils down to issues of free will. There's not much point in us if we have no choices.

For a scientist the time "before" the universe is simply undefined. There are many scientific speculations about this, universes budding off of one another in giant branching structures, etc., but there is nothing solid about any of them; nothing any more or less solid than simply calling this universe "Creation."
