Doodles

By Charlie

Too many coincidences

Is it just a coincidence?

that we are here

Our mother was born with about 300 eggs

which could become nothing

a sister

a brother

- or us

A Dad makes about half a trillion sperm during his life

so the chance of us being here is 0.003 X 1.9 x 10^-12

about 15.7 x 10^-15…

- or one chance in many thousands of worlds like ours

our brains 85%
