      I don’t think we have a purpose, but that’s because I think we evolved via natural selection rather than being created by any designer.
      Mathematicians tell me they have no end, they go on for infinity, I’m not so sure – so I’m going to keep on counting a bzillion and 1… a quadrillion and 2…
      The egg came first – but it wasn’t necessarily a chicken egg. A bird similar to a chicken laid an egg, and in that egg a genetic mutation happened, and that mutation made the bird that came out of the egg a chicken. This is an example of evolution in action.
