The Deteriorata starts with the quote "you are a fluke" Well lets us consider that, of the almost infinite worlds in this unimaginably vast universe your were lucky enough to be born on planet earth possibly the only world that can harbour life.

Of the six .five billion people you are the offspring of only two, namely your mom and dad. Of your mom's some twenty thousand eggs you arose from just one of them. Out of your dads half billion or so sperm cells, only one reached that specific egg to create the absolutely unique being that you are. No one else has or will ever have your exact DNA code

There has never been someone exactly like you in all creation going back fifteen or so billion years namely; the estimated age of the universe. In all eternities going into the infinite future there will never be another exactly like you.

Lastly you were lucky enough to come into existence in a universe beautifully balanced to harbour human and other life.

So the question begs, are you a fluke? or the work of a mind of unimaginable omniscience??

Then before the universe existed before time itself God created a mind similar to him, that mind is your consciousness, self-awareness, eternal soul or spirit call it what you like. You are indeed a god in your own right

No sparrow falls that god does not see!!

Are you a child of the universe or are you a child of God??

Universe = You/I in Verse = god (G.O.D. or Jodie for short)... maybe. Beautiful post Alan.

"Possibly", but highly unlikely. Life takes many forms, or perhaps even without forms also. But could it be a little egotistic to believe that life may only possibly  here on this little insignificant planet? Why are our lives so vastly important? We are most likly just a very small cog in a very large large wheel.

I might be a liver fluke. LOL

I should have ended the post thus;

Are you a fluke or are you special??

I'm so f'n spatial! :D

I will try just one more time are you an accident?

No matter how we came to be, if one is unique, one is special, would that be true? It would not only be humans who are unique and therefore special, but all life. Even if one appears like the other, unless they are created and then standing in the exact same place in space and time, they are unique.

There are no accidents, but "accidents will happen--they're only hit and run--used to be a victim, now I'm not the only one"-Elvis Costello (hell is cost, hello?)
