You can't even begin to understand biology, you can't understand life, unless you understand what it's all there for, how it arose - and that means evolution.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Life is a process of evolution.
Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science - in all of biology.
From a personal perspective, I am disappointed that we have yet to really achieve a full understanding of the origins of life on Earth. What was the spark that, billions of years ago, kickstarted the process of evolution that has brought us life as we know it today? I hope that we will get some answers to that in my lifetime.
Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.
I naively thought that we could have a molecular definition for life, come up with a set of genes that would minimally define life. Nature just refuses to be so easily quantified.
The origin of life is one of the great outstanding mysteries of science.
The assumption that nature is all there is, and that nature has been governed by the same rules at all times and places, makes it possible for natural science to be confident that it can explain such things as how life began.
Life is very, very simple and easy to understand, but we complicate it with the beliefs and ideas that we create.
According to the Law of Biogenesis, life arises only from preexisting life.
Biology is the science. Evolution is the concept that makes biology unique.
