{{quote| '''Dr. Manhattan''': Thermodynamic Miracles... Events with odds against so astronomical they're effectively impossible, like ''oxygen'' spontaneously becoming ''gold''. I long to observe such a thing. And yet, in each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. Multiply ''those'' odds by countless ''generations'', against the odds of your ancestors being ''alive'', siring ''this'' precise son; ''that'' exact daughter... Until your mother loves a man she has every reason to ''hate'', and of that ''union'', of the thousand million children competing for fertilization, it was ''you'', ''only'' you, that emerged. To distill so ''specific'' a form from that chaos of ''improbability'', like turning ''air'' to ''gold''... ''That'' is the crowning ''unlikelihood.'' The Thermodynamic ''Miracle''.<br />

'''Laurie''': But.. if me, my birth, if ''that's'' a Thermodynamic Miracle... I mean, you could say that about anybody in the ''world''.<br />
