"Indonesian girl who was swept away in the 2004 tsunami is reunited with her family." Pastors looking for illustrations: You're welcome.

David Brooks pointed me to Alan Lightman's “The Accidental Universe” in Harper’s. Brooks says Lightman "writes that the existence of life is so incredibly improbable that there can be only two realistic explanations: Either there is a God who designed all this, or there exist many, many different universes, a vast majority of which are lifeless. Many physicists are gravitating to the latter theory." Since there's no evidence for the latter, could there be an emotional reason against the former?
