[Hawking] We observe that distant galaxies are moving away from us They must have been closer together in the past
It was the beginning of the universe And of time itself Anything that happened before the big bang Could not affect what happened after
[Dawkins] The poetry of the expanding universe The poetry of the complexity of life We're not normally equipped to understand And science gives it to us
