The nuclear reactor is a very good example of the bizarre contrast between human achievements and the natural world from which we evolved. Thank you :)

I see your point about the inevitability of humanity's technical achievements. But I can draw attention to my point further by suggesting the following hypothesis: it seems intuitive that something very complex cannot be derived from something very simple. Nonetheless, the smooth, dense simplicity of the big bang has, through a process that is empirically observable, unfolded into this incredibly complex microcosm on Earth. That there is a scientific explanation is not really debatable: we know that the complexity of the tree is stored in the seed as genes. The simplicity is only apparent. So, if we wish to explain the development of the universe as we have explained the development of trees, animals, etc. then we will have to be able to identify some kind of code that contains the potential for infinity complexity; a code that was housed in the smooth, dense big bang and thereafter dictated the procedural unfolding of reality from gas to stars and eventually nuclear reactors. All of this is to say that our intuitive idea that complexity cannot be derived from simplicity is actually, in a weird way, contradicted by biology, and that this "weirdness" applies not just to biological phenomena but physical ones as well so that new things seem to arise out of nowhere, when in fact they were stored in an imperceptible, condensed form that unfolded itself out of itself.
