Dawkins - brilliant as usual.

There is true, unimaginable wonder in science. To contemplate the mysteries of life and universe - nothing is so awe-inspiring. Who said science is cold and impersonal?

Think of the little mitochondria that all of us have - the essential machinary of respiration, and then to realize that they represent bacteria that our ancestral cells ingested millions of years ago, to import the respiratory apparatus essential for us to breathe in a oxygen-rich environment - now there`s a fact to boggle the mind.
