“The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a
star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from
a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic
thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here
if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen,
oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution - weren’t
created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear
furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if
those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars
died so that you could be here today.”
