Xacto knife in Fine Arts: We use this to cut paper and other materials and make models. Now take your Xacto knife and carve me and use it to creat a 3D model of this object using basswood.
Xacto knife in Mechanical Arts: We use the knife to cut cables. Now take it out and carefully cut the cable between the oscillator and the engine.
Xacto knife in Liberal Arts: Let's discuss the properties of the Xacto knife. What is it? How do you know it IS an Xacto knife? Where can you find Xacto knives? When can they be useful? And why do Xacto knives exist, what are their purpose?

We use Xacto knives at my faculty, too! Mainly, who in the name of sanity stuck it in this poor sod's left lung?

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

I feel the same way about all paper books. But no, everything fleeting reminds us of our own decay, so it's perfectly logical. I must say, I feel a bit sad, too.

We must go deeper.
