Ever stop to consider how unlikely it is you’re here, now, doing what you are doing? The book Our Improbable Universe by Dr. Michael Mallary shows how "ordinary existence" is really extraordinary. From the most practical point of view, we really are "star children": the iron in the blood of our veins originated in a stellar explosion billions of years ago. How likely is it that all the myriad conditions for life would come together so precisely? Without positing or denying the existence of a Creator behind it all, the answer to that question is humbling and fascinating.
Dr. Mallary received his S.B. degree in physics from M.I.T. in 1966 and his PhD degree in Experimental High Energy Physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1972. (See improbableuniverse.com)
