of a genesis
of the atom,
of the increasingly «molecular» aspect
of living
organisms pursued to the infinitesimal, and
of the persistence
of this «molecular» characteristic in the mechanisms
of heredity and evolution rising to the highest organic
types; the existence
of a center
of indeterminacy at the very heart
of every element
of Matter... The cumulative effect
of these revelations has been to open our eyes to a very different and quite otherwise alluring possibility.

of living
organisms, such as in the natural selection
of favorable traits among biologically adaptive species.
