“In each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. Multiply those odds by countless generations . . . it was you, only you, that emerged. To distill so specific a form from that chaos of improbability, like turning air to gold . . . that is the crowning unlikelihood . . .” “You could say that about anybody in the world!” “Yes. Anybody in the world . . . But the world is so full of people, so crowded with these miracles, that they become commonplace and we forget . . .” • Alan Moore, Watchmen
