Fascinated right this second (I was praying God would fascinate me today, and He just did!). This is from Cal Techs snowcrystals website. Look at the pictures below. This is what the physicist FAQ says about likeness of snowflakes: Now theres a question I hear a lot. Its a funny question, almost like a Zen koan -- if two identical snowflakes fell, my inquisitive friend, who would know? And can you ever be sure that no two are alike, since you cannot check them all to find out? Although there is indeed a certain level of unknowability to the question of snowflake alikeness, as a physicist I find that I can address this issue with some confidence. As I will demonstrate, the answer depends to a large degree on what you mean by the question. (Yes, physics does occasionally have its Zen-like qualities.) The short answer to the question is yes -- it is indeed extremely unlikely that two complex snowflakes will look exactly alike. Its so extremely unlikely, in fact, that even if you looked at every one ever made you would not find any exact duplicates. Now look again at the pictures below. Each flake engineered by God. Picture the landscape of SW Michigan after a small storm....billions and billions of snowflakes, each engineered with precision...with design. Each thought out by God and dumped on the ground to melt! But, what about YOU!! How much more does He consider your every moment. Lovingly orchestrating a life that, if you want it, is perfectly designed, circumstance by circumstance to draw you nearer and nearer to His perfect presence. You were made to last forever! How great Though art!
