Chance alone is at the source of every innovaton, of all creation in the biosphere. Pure chance, only chance, absolute but blind liberty is at the root of the prodigious edifice that is evolution...

Stating life began by the chance collision of particles of nucleic acid in the "prebiotic soup." — Jacques Monod
