lifeless as far as we can tell. Who knows what complexities arise in the dark places of the universe?
well yes exactly .. in that realm of the unknown, our imaginations can run riot
it wasn't that long ago that there were still dark corners of the earth - well, more like vast tracts of unexplored terrain - in the Amazon, deep in mountain ranges, or in icy tundra.
