I'll admit that from what we can ASCERTAIN the Universe came into being=20
from nothing. Long after I have gone, with better tools -and smarter=20
kids- we may finally understand what happened. I don't know how it=20
happened, but it was NEVER an impossibility. I think impossible is a=20
poor choice of words anyway; IMPROBABLE is much better.
