Finding Wonder in a Scientific Universe
We are born into a world that's both scientifically explicable and profoundly miraculous. The odds of any single one of us existing are astronomically remote - countless chance meetings, migrations, plagues, and survival stories had to align perfectly for you to be here reading these words. As Sasha Sagan reminds us, being alive is "profoundly beautiful and staggeringly unlikely, a sacred miracle of random chance." This perspective, inherited from her father Carl Sagan and mother Ann Druyan, offers a framework for finding deep meaning without supernatural belief. The challenge for the scientifically-minded isn't the absence of wonder - it's the absence of shared ritual. When we understand that the universe operates through natural laws rather than divine intervention, how do we mark life's significant moments? How do we build community and find meaning? The answer lies in recognizing that across human cultures, we've always been celebrating the same fundamental things: astronomy and biology. The changing seasons, phases of the moon, birth, growth, reproduction, and death - these natural cycles have inspired celebrations across time and place. Nature provides patterns, and we humans instinctively find and create them. This is the essence of ritual - repeated actions that connect us to something larger than ourselves, whether that's our ancestors, our communities, or the cosmos itself.
