Science may explain the world, but we still have to explain science. The laws which enable the universe to come into being spontaneously seem themselves to be the product of exceedingly ingenious design. If physics is the product of design, the universe must have a purpose, and the evidence of modern physics suggests strongly to me that the purpose includes us
The laws of physics ... seem to be the product of exceedingly ingenious design... The universe must have a purpose.
Technology is, in the broadest sense, mind or intelligence or purpose blending with nature.
It is hard to resist the impression that the present structure of the universe, apparently so sensitive to minor alterations in numbers, has been rather carefully thought out...The seemingly miraculous concurrence of these numerical values must remain the most compelling evidence for cosmic design.
The temptation to believe that the Universe is the product of some sort of design, a manifestation of subtle aesthetic and mathematical judgment, is overwhelming. The belief that there is "something behind it all" is one that I personally share with, I suspect, a majority of physicists.

I don't think you can shut down all three of us. If it happens, somebody (else) has got to step up. We do have the personnel to step up and score for us.
You have to weigh the increased cost of electric service every month versus being without power for three weeks after a hurricane.
We run a 24-hour service (for passengers) and we also offer small-package delivery.
