Mule Gives Birth

Mules, hybrids between horse and donkey, are normally infertile, due to differences between the number and structure of horse and donkey chromosomes. Nevertheless, for reasons not well understood, fertile mules do occur, infrequently, with some 60 documented live births since 1527."

It strikes me as no small coincidence that where we see Science fail is in the prediction of when and under what conditions the Creation of Life takes place. Maybe someone is trying to tell us something...
