Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go camping together. At about 3:00 a.m. Watson is sound asleep in his sleeping bag when Holmes nudges him to wake him up.
Holmes says, "Watson, look up and tell me what you see."
Watson responds, "A sky full of stars."
Holmes asks, "And what do you deduce from that sky full of stars?"
Watson, anxious to impress, responds, "Well, Holmes, astronomically, I deduce that our Sun is only one of millions of stars crowded into our galaxy, with many of them being orbited by planets.
"Paleantologically, I deduce that many of the inhabitable planets out there, much younger than ours, may have life forms on them similar to those which we see in our fossil beds.
"Evolutionalogically, I deduce that many of the older planets may have life forms on them that resemble the bipedal hominids which on our planet became mankind.
"Theologically, I deduce that, if He was willing to do so, some of those extraplanetary hominids may have been ensouled by almighty God, although being made of flesh and blood they probably are afflicted with the condition we call Original Sin, and so need saving.
"Mathematically, I deduce that the stars in our galaxy, which number around 100 billion, probably have more than 1 trillion planets and planetoids around them, and each of those is made of octillions of atoms and dectillions of sub-atomic particles.
"Astrologically, I deduce that Mars is passing through Scorpio, but scientific thinkers like us should deduce little if anything from that fact.
"Finally, as a matter of aesthetics, I deduce that the sky is incomparably beautiful, and something which even the best of impressionistic painters can only hint at."
Certain that he impressed Holmes, Watson concludes, "And what do you deduce from that sky full of stars, Holmes?"
Holmes answers, "I deduce that our tent has been stolen."
