Ever since then, all descendant vertebrates have had the forward end of the digestive system and the forward end of the respiratory system very much involved with each other. This manifests itself in the human body with a crossing of the two systems in the throat.
Job's avoidance of rebellion against God has nothing to do with God being good or wise or anything like that; it's strictly because God is so powerful, and you don't fight something when you are so much weaker than that which you would fight.
Many traditional religions foster attitudes that ought to have disappeared as biological understanding accumulated over the last century.
Most evolving lineages, human or otherwise, when threatened with extinction, don't do anything special to avoid it.
Darwin based his theory on generalizations that were strictly empirical. You can go out and see that organisms do vary, that variations are inherited, and that every organism is capable of increasing its numbers in sufficiently favorable circumstances.
I am convinced that it is the light and the way.
The moment-of-conception fallacy implies that fertilization is a simple process with never a doubt as to whether it has or has not happened.
The general rule is that anything that is passed on in reproduction does not undergo senescence.
The only realistic view is that a human life arises gradually, which is not much help in making personal decisions or devising public policy.
I think that my main criticism in that book was directed at the general assumption that adaptation characterizes populations and species, rather than simply the individuals in the populations and species.
Potentially, we can go very far. But we can't look too far ahead because in our section, anybody can beat anybody and if you want to make the playoffs, you cannot overlook anybody.
Kareem played big for us down low. He came through big when we needed him.
It always crosses your mind. It also crossed the player's minds. But in the end, we came through.
I will get closure when they close the lid on my casket.
We believe that we can win every game. We have a lot of talent and experience.
We have found a way to win. We have lost some big leads, but the kids have come through in the clutch. That's been our trademark.
We showed we had what it takes to win. In the last couple of minutes, I thought we had some big rebounds and some big defensive stands.
The whole team stepped it up without Kareem here. Bernard and Eddie did a real good job for us down low. That picked up the slack and helped us with the region championship.
This is something that we have been working for all year. We aren't ready to stop here. Hopefully, we can win a couple more games.
This is something that we have been working for all season. We still have a lot of work to do. We have to take it one at a time. But one loss means you're done. We don't want to get to that point.
This is one of the best, if not the best, teams we've had here in a long time,
They were decent athletes that had to make a transition. They were raw. They had to adapt to a new system. Once they started to believe in our system, their attitudes started to change.
The bottom end was waterlogged and when I checked it in the afternoon it was still waterlogged.
Their mindset has changed. They have high expectations and want to be the best that they can be.
