When one ponders on the tremendous journey of evolution over the past three billion years or so, the prodigious wealth of structures it has engendered, the extraordinarily effective teleonomic performances of living beings, from bacteria to man, one may well find oneself beginning to doubt again whether all this could conceivably be the product of an enormous lottery presided over by natural selection, blindly picking the rare winners from among numbers drawn at utter random.

While one’s conviction may be restored by the detailed review of the accu ulated modern evidence that this conception alone is compatible with the facts (notably with the molecular mechanisms of replication, mutation, and translation), it affords no synthetic, intuitive, and immediate grasp of the vastly sweep of evolution. The miracle stands “explained”: it does not strike as any less miraculous. As Francois Mauriac en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Mauriac wrote, “What this professor says is far more incredible than what we poor Christians believe” ~ Page 138
