Natural Selection never made it come to pass, as a habit of nature, that an unsupported stone should move downwards rather than upwards. It applies to no part of inorganic nature, and is very limited even in the phenomena of organic life.

  • -- Chauncey Wright 他的学生赖特

自然选择从来没有让一块没有支撑的石头向下移动而不是向上移动成为自然的一种习惯。它并不适用于无机自然的任何部分,甚至在有机生命的现象中也非常有限。
