Rabbi Meir
Rabbi Meir, a second-century scholar, admonished his disciples to look not at the pitcher but as its contents because, he stated Many a new pitcher has been found to be full of old wine. This was his way of emphasizing the importance of the distinction between form and idea, and of stressing that the integrity of an idea is more important than the form of its expression.

The theory of evolution is one of the great intellectual revolutions of human history.
When Darwin published his famous On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, members of the religious community, as well as some scientific peers, were outraged and protested. However, Darwins idea was eventually accepted and had drastically changed our perception of the world and of our place in it.
Hundreds of years ago, people were confused with the complexity of different species of the world, and believed that species were created by the mysterious God. However, Darwin did not believe so. After several years study, he eventually demonstrated that species, however complex seemingly, all evolved by natural selection from simple and preliminary conditions. Darwins theory revealed the simple principle of the world, and thus became a revolution of human beings.
