The Bible says we are dust. Science says we are stardust. The point is not a religious or faith based one but rather a reminder that there is greatness and great worthlessness in all of us. Every day is a choice of which end of the spectrum we will follow, allow to be pushed in and actively work toward.
“The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.”
