Take - Quotes
Death doesn`t just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed.
If determinism is true, the future is set - and this includes all our future states of mind and our subsequent behavior.

Evolution is all about processes that almost never happen. Every birth in every lineage is a potential speciation event, but speciation almost never happens, not once in a million births. Mutation in DNA almost never happens - not once in a trillion copyings - but evolution depends on it. Take the set of infrequent accidents - things that almost never happen - and sort them into the happy accidents, the neutral accidents, and the fatal accidents; amplify the effects of the happy accidents - which happens automatically when you have replication and competition - and you get evolution.
