Charles Darwin

Darwin was so brilliant and curious for his time!
"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved." Here, this passage has so brilliantly summed up Darwin's curiousites and his theories. In this sentence he is describing the vast complexity of such an "entangled bank." There are physical laws that govern each of us, and although humans are so independent from worms and worms so independent from fish- we are still all so dependent on each other within very complex laws and intelligent designs. I believe we all share this deep void that Darwin is describing here. We are conscious creatures, and so, we are conscious of the complexities within life and the so brilliant and beautiful designs of the universe. We each share this complete awe at what is around us and how deeply it is interconnected- some may fill this void with god, with science, and some will forever have this unfillable void. But, no matter what, one cannot deny that this void and this unconcievable "entangled bank" still lies.
