    Dawg, in chemistry we learned of Avogadro's number and constant.

    I don't remember all of it (you know, use it or lose it), but it has been estimated that the number of micro particles in the universe exactly mirrors that of macro particles.

    Mind blowing, isn't it?

    I hope you'll graciously forgive my excursion into this ancient book, but for some reason this song comes to mind.

    From The Message Bible:

    Psalm 8
    A David Psalm

    1 God , brilliant Lord, yours is a household name.

    2 Nursing infants gurgle choruses about you;
    toddlers shout the songs
    That drown out enemy talk,
    and silence atheist babble.

    3 -4 I look up at your macro-skies, dark and enormous,
    your handmade sky-jewelry,
    Moon and stars mounted in their settings.
    Then I look at my micro-self and wonder,
    Why do you bother with us?
    Why take a second look our way?

    5 -8 Yet we've so narrowly missed being gods,
    bright with Eden's dawn light.
    You put us in charge of your handcrafted world,
    repeated to us your Genesis-charge,
    Made us lords of sheep and cattle,
    even animals out in the wild,
    Birds flying and fish swimming,
    whales singing in the ocean deeps.

    9 God, brilliant Lord,
    your name echoes around the world.

    The mormans say when you proceed through their system. You will get your own world where you can be Jesus. So it looks like they have plenty of worlds for people who want to give the Jesus/God thing a shot.
