"It really is the most poetic thing I know about the universe. The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And the atoms your left hand probably came from a different star from your right hand. You are all star dust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded because the elements, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution were created at the beginning of time. They created the nuclear furnaces of stars. The only way they could get into your body is if the stars exploded. So forget Jesus, the stars died so you could be alive."
