For most of us who have been grown up and educated in a religious atmosphere, the marvel of the well-known "evolution" is yet not comprehended. This link may give some insight to the creation of the universe in a rather lyrical way.
Evolution, no matter fact or theory, is deep and beautiful. I wish I had passed a course in school to learn about the chains in evolution. Now that I am writing this, I remember the debate my religion teachers were making against this theory by exemplifying "Vision and Eye" which is, according to them, too complex to be regarded as a random result of a mutation. But I know if I really want to take a side on this debate, I have to read enough about evolution chains. I know I yet can self-study, but how much time do we really have to learn all these man-made lessons? Sometimes I think it is time for me to add a bit to those lessons, rather than just spend time to learn others findings.
It's definitely good to balance between learning and thinking. I remember reading Richard Hamming's speech titled "You and Your Research" In there, he described one of his colleges who kept on reading and learning... but never remembered to apply the knowledge he obtained and establish his own theories.
ReplyDeleteWith regards to reading more on evolution, a lot of my friends (in Bioinformatics) really enjoyed taking "Evolution" (BIOL 359)... it might be fun to sit in next term. : )
