19、evolution degrades our humanity. Darwin revealed us to be “mere animals”,subject to the same natural laws and historical forces as all other animals.Believers should embrace science, especially evolutionary theory, for what it has done to uncover the magnificence of the divinity(神学) in a depth never

26、ing. Alibabas advantage wasnt hard to identify: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its marketplaces attract 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a yearand Alibaba is just the middleman. It encourages people to use its marketsnot charging small sellers

27、a percentage of the sale.If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing almost a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom

30、ard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shoppingbig-box retailers especially in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping

31、, and shopping is Taobao.I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how extensive the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. Im not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site. When

32、 I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teachers iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.31.

36、w the author purchases online in China.CI wished I had known earlier the fact that I was a low achiever because there was a reason beyond my control. Then I neednt have worked so hard in my late twenties and early thirties. But I just didnt know that. I was writing and writing. I was working for no

37、other reason than to hear people praise me.Mostpeople who go through university read at least twice as fast as I do. I cannever tell my left from my right.
