Chance and necessity do not explain the origins of life.

I have noticed that even those who assert that everything is predestined and that we can change nothing about it still look both ways before they cross the street

The two go hand in hand like a dance: chance flirts with necessity, randomness with determinism. To be sure, it is from this interchange that novelty and creativity arise in Nature, thereby yielding unique forms and novel structures.

... Nature almost surely operates by combining chance with necessity, randomness with determinism...

It?s definitely a neat experience. I never had a chance to skate at this rink because they just opened it up last January. It?s good to get out there and skate on it. But just to come back to Boston and see the old coaches is a good experience and it brings back some good feelings.
