you always hear how life is a miracle, having a baby is a miracle
and i tend to disagree b/c whats so miraculous about 95% of the population being able to procreate ??
just about everyone can do it (as long as the plumbing works) so how is it a miracle ??
then i started to think a lil more in depth about it
the miracle is when you think about all the things that had to occur just for you to be here
your parents had to meet
they had to have sex on the exact night they did
the exact sperm that fertilized your mom's egg to create you had to be the first one in
then you backtrack to your grandparents, and your great grandparents
all the way back to a distant ancestor who got up on the wrong side of the cave that morning , rolled over and slept another hour and didnt get eaten by that mountain lion
then there's all kinds of nuances that come into play like whether or not your ancestors were in wars, survived, or they died and that person met another partner which if that person didnt die in the war then they have kids and you dont exist, whether or not some ancestor cheated, had that guys kid, never told the husband
it kinda blows your mind when you think about it
