"La biologie est l'étude des choses compliquées qui semblent avoir été conçues avec un but"
— Richard Dawkins
Simplified Meaning:
Biology looks at living things that seem like they were made intentionally with a specific goal. For example, think about a bird's wing. It looks so perfectly shaped for flying that it might seem like someone designed it just for that purpose. But actually, birds' wings developed over a long time through evolution to work well for flying. Similarly, our eyes are so good at seeing that it's easy to think they were made to help us see. Yet, our eyes got better slowly over many generations. Understanding this helps us see that nature creates complex and functional things through a gradual process, rather than instant design. If you want to apply this idea, be curious about how things around you came to be, rather than assuming they were always like that; things develop and improve over time.
