freedom,

Lesson 6

1. (Absence of evidence) The fact that we do not have evidence showing that there is

change our view

and regard this world as one of many in the universe.

6. (The alien is a Hollywood)

The alien is a character used too much in Hollywood

films

was

not

first

brought up by Hollywood.

…the fact that no life had been detected on Mars

was

a

terrible

blow

to

exobiology

which

did

not

recover

from

the

blow

in

the

following twenty years.

8.

(Everyone

realized

the

historical)

Everyone

knew

that

if

what

appeared

to

be

microfossils

were

confirmed

to

be

such,

then

the

discovery

would

be

of

historic

significance; but if they proved to be something else, the adverse effect that followed

would be equally dramatic.

9. (…if you rewound the tape) …if the evolution on Earth were to take place a second

time,

a

human

being

who

is

genetically

similar

to

us

would

of

such

evolution.
