Just think, how long did it take DNA polymerase to evolve? I have a definite intelligent design bias that is just reinforced by descriptions of irreducible complexity.
There is something I tell my medical students just to remind them of how it all comes together: All Medicine is Biology. All Biology is Chemistry. All Chemistry is Physics. And All Physics is Mathematics.
If you understand things at the base level, you can finally begin to understand all of the layers that sit on top of it all.
Thanks so much Dr. K, and thanks for all you do in teaching and medicine! What you tell your medical students is exactly what I wish I had been taught back in high school, but only later came to realize. Once you get those connections, one's sense of wonder grows exponentially, and you just want to learn more and more.

This is well done.

I love your writing -- so glad you do it.
