Darwin & Evolution In mere impressionism we take our stand. We have no positive tests nor standards. Realism in art: realism in science--they pass away. In 1859, the thing to do was to accept Darwinism; now many biologists are revolting and trying to conceive of something else. The thing to do was to accept it in its day, but Darwinism of course was never proved: The fittest survive. What is meant by the fittest? Not the strongest; not the cleverest-- Weakness and stupidity everywhere survive. There is no way of determining fitness except in that a thing does survive. "Fitness," then, is only another name for "survival." Darwinism: That survivors survive. Charles Fort ... (darned, pp. 23-24)

This is one of my overall favorite quotes which pretty much sums it all up for me.
"You are something the whole universe is doing in the same way a wave is something the whole ocean is doing. The real deep down you is the whole universe." - Alan Watts
Although the knowledge and the actual experience are like night and day, to me this really is what it all boils down to.
