..if God were an invention, all living things  came to be by some wild ass cosmic mistake..seems ignorant to my minds eye..it requires a whole lot of faith in man made science to believe that, but to each his own. SweTex wrote:

That's 5.0 × 1022 stars in the known universe ... or:

50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars

To put that in perspective, that's more stars in the universe than grains of sand on all of earth's beaches.

To say that just one of those stars, by some "wild ass cosmic mistake," has a planet containing the ingredients for life (liquid water, energy and organic material) goes against logic and probability. In fact, it has been found that several of Jupiter's and Saturn's moons contain liquid water, organic material and tidal energy created by the gravitational forces of the planet's they orbit. 

Life may not be as precious or unique as we once imagined.

Love the song.

A pleasant surprise to me is that this band are from Wicklow, Ireland, just up the road from where I grew up in Bray. Not that there's any trace of Irish in their music, mind. This is a fine and disturbing album which the Nottingham jury heartily recommends.

Despite what Carl Sagan asserted, it's quite possible (or probable) that there are more grains of sand on the Earth's beaches than there are stars in the Universe - but I haven't counted lately.

I'm impressed.  This song manages to be both beautiful and kick ass at the same time.
