Basic principles of biology are explained, and a foundation for understand the most fundamental elements of life are laid out. Many of my students in this class have had only one biology course, and that was in their freshman year of high school. Consequently, I have to begin at the beginning, and this is what I tried to do in the first half of Random Designer. I wish I could go through some of the genetics of evolution with you as I do in the class, but I chose not to go there in Random Designer for the sake of time and also so that I would not lose readers with deeper genetics. But suffice it to say, IT IS INCREDIBLE STUFF! Well, I am glad you made it through the first half. There is much misunderstanding in our culture about how life works, and how it might be seen as compatible with faith. So, if I am able to provide some clarity, that was the goal. Take care. Rick Colling Hello Henry,
