Totally agree with the piece. I often think of how neat it would have been to be one of the Apostles (except for that whole being martyred thing). Or to at least have a "burning bush" moment like Moses (except my friends would accuse me of picking and eating the wrong kind of spring mushrooms).
I once read the odds of an explosion such as the Big Bang creating life from the blast, with the odds being astronomically against.
One thing I can't get my head around is how to define time, and how "time" would work in various settings, i.e. if I were craigepo the eternal angel, but was looking down on a world that was temporal. I think the time/fossil record/New Earth/Old Earth issue divides a lot of intelligent people's opinions.
