“Enter the force of gravity. The same force that God created in the beginning together with time and space during the Big Bang. The distribution of matter throughout the universe wasn’t even, and there were space areas where the density was larger than in the other areas. It took millions of years, but over time gravity pulled many of the hydrogen atoms together at such high pressure that the compressed gas attempted to push the atoms apart. It was then a stalemate, the force of gravity bringing the atoms of hydrogen together vs. an opposing force trying to keep the hydrogen atoms apart.”

“Most people in the Great Britain of (Adam) Smith's day lived in what most of us would regard as poverty. Hundreds of thousands were willing to risk the possibility of death in transit and years in indentured servitude for the chance to escape to the New World. Yet the population of Britain was probably better off economically than that of any major nation on the globe. To put relative poverty and wealth in perspective, let us take the standards of apparel considered necessary by ordinary day laborers, the lowest of the working poor, as recounted in The Wealth of Nations. In England, Smith reports, the poorest day laborer of either sex would be ashamed to appear in public without leather shoes. In Scotland, a rung lower on the ladder of national wealth, it was considered inappropriate for men of this class to appear without shoes, but not for women. In France, a rung rower still, custom held that both men and women laborers could appear shoeless in public. Below France there were many rungs in Europe. And below Europe there were many more rungs still. (p. 56)”
