Why do the birds fly? To go somewhere warmer.

Why is the sky blue? Because blue light is scattered best by the atmosphere.

Who are we, really? We are a conglomeration of cells, bound together and serving specific functions determined by environmental factors such as chemicals which turn genes on and off, made up by smaller molecules, in turn made of atoms, which in turn are made of quarks and leptons, which may or may not be strings vibrating in three wonderful dimensions! We are many, which become one. We are one, which becomes many.
