a: Interstellar absorption ~
b: a fog in the forest
What: "In the forest analogy, interstellar absorption is like a fog in the forest. Even though the forest might be infinite, the fog doesn't allow you to see much of it. The Milky Way in that image is a long thin strip of woodland. Look north or south and you can see the fields beyond the forest. Look east or west and you see more trees, a darker forest, but also fog hiding even more trees."

a: natural selection ~
b: a non-creative editor
What:
"As this documentary relates, C. S. Lewis took Bergson's objection to heart. And he answered Bergson's question: natural selection cannot add anything positive that the life form does not already have. Natural selection is like a non-creative editor. It deletes information; it cannot write information."
