Notes from C. Colson and N. Pearcey HOW NOW SHALL WE LIVE. Oliver Wendell Holmes : I see no reason for attributing to man a significance in kind from that which belongs to a baboon or a grain of sand. Life is a sacred gift from God .

In William Steig's Yellow & Pink. a delightfully whimsical picture book for children, two wooden figures wake up and ask, " Do you know what we're doing here?" So begins the debate between two marionettes over the Origin of their existence. Pink surveys their well formed features and concludes, " Someone must have made us. " Yellow disagrees. " I say that we're an accident," and he outlines the hypothetical scenario of how it might have happened.
