1Had our solar system included two suns, the problem would have
2involved three bodies (the two suns and each planet), and chaos
3would have been immediately obvious. Planets would have had
4erratic and unpredictable orbits, and creatures living on one
5of these planets would never have been able to percieve the
6slightest harmony. Nor would it have occurred to them that the
7universe might be ruled by laws and that it is up to mans
8intellect to discover them. Besides, it is not at all obvious
9that life and conscience could even emerge in such a chaotic
10system. |
