Yay for Evolution

"Studying evolution has changed the way I look at nature. For knowing
that all of us - oak trees and venus fly traps, starlings and brush
turkeys, humans and sea urchins, not to mention bacteria harvesting
light from the glowing vents at the bottom of the sea - are the
products of the same ancient forces is something that brings me
enormous pleasure, awe and a sense of peace. As I have learned more
about other organisms, I have come to regard them (and us!) with
increasing amazement and delight." -Olivia Judson I have similar feelings after watching Blue Planet: Seas of Life. If you understand evolution, it only makes life on this planet more amazing and beautiful. Unfortunately, it appears that we're in the middle of a mass extinction. Hopefully it's not too late to change course.
