raisin bread. yum.

 I particularly enjoyed the discussion on the "Big Bang" theory on Friday. I feel like it's an abstract concept that everyone hears about, but it was interesting to put it into the context of our scientific method. (as in, here's the observations we have, what story could possibly explain these events?) However, I think it's interesting to note that there's just as much to be discovered at the smallest levels of life (inside and atom) and in the greatest scale of the entire universe. Also, the improbability of all of these things even existing is absolutely astounding. Everything is so incredibly complex, it's absolutely impossible to imagine how it all fits together. I love the idea of the tree of life, because it's a visual representation of the relationships between living organisms. Also, I think it's incredible how the classification system put in place much before evolutionary theory actually corresponds very well to evolutionary clads.
