<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

So, if I understand you correctly, the Big Bang will create planets with the [i]potential[/i] for life to develop and the right [i]conditions[/i], but no actual life yet. I.e. there would be oxygen, atmosphere, seas, volcanoes et al. but no living creatures of any kind, from the smallest germ to the largest whale/mammoth.
Does Slough not wish to add these things, correct the 'lifeless' things the others have planned for?

That's right.  After all, the idea of chance alone developing such wondrous and orderly things as the symmetrical and organic structures of life is unimaginably improbable.  It's like monkeys typing on typewriters trying to get Hamlet: it would take longer than the lifecycle of the universe for such a contrivance to occur by pure chance, and compared to the complexity of life, that's nothing.  It is going to take a creator's touch to get the party started.

Slough's wishes don't matter so much.  Her life will inevitably give rise to 'these things', but the 'lifeless' things the others have planned for need not be corrected even if she could.  They're cool in their own right, and play a part on the grand scheme of things. Slough's natural life will exist, and so can the unnatural life of gods like Toun and Vestec.
