What's more, the ecologies of which they form a part have an alarming tendency to change abruptly. If your habitat is covered by an ice sheet, it's pretty irrelevant how well you are adapted to the meadows and forests now buried beneath...
...actually understand everything--there are many things, from the turbulence of ocean currents to the folding of protein molecules, that cannot be understood without radical improvements in our methods of calculation. They will provide plenty of interesting continued employment for theorists and experimenters for the foreseeable future. But no new freestanding scientific principles are needed to understand these phenomena. The standard model provides all the fundamental principles we need...
...this context of accepted scientific procedures, single occurrences present a knotty problem. Their "truth" cannot be denied, but how can we use their existence to assert any generality rather than an explanation for a singular circumstance? For specific events of history--the rise, domination and extinction of dinosaurs, for example--we seek no such generality, and specific narrations for bounded events supply the explanations we seek.
