I think this class has

I think this class has taught me two things that are really important:

1) I should think for myself, because even though I don't know a lot of stuff that is labeled "SCIENCE," I do have the tools to think about what I'm presented with, and

2) Randomness can be kind of beautiful. The idea that things fall apart and result in other things coming together is just elegant. Things don't need a reason to be the way they are; organisms don't evolve for a reason; they just exist as they do based on interactions with the surrounding environment as well as genetic coding. And I can comfortably say that as a religious person, though that may not be here or there.

Bye everyone!! Have a great break!
