However, this division into laws of evolution and initial conditions depends on time and space being separate and distinct.

然而，演化规律及初始条件的分界取决于“时空分明”的概念。

This removes the distinction between time and space, and means the laws of evolution can also determine the initial state.

这就将“时空”之间区别移除了，这意味着演化规律亦可决定初始状态。

Pity thwarts the whole law of evolution, which is the law of natural selection.

怜悯阻碍了整个进化法则，即自然选择法则。

We have made good progress on the first part, and now have the knowledge of the laws of evolution in all but the most extreme conditions.

第一部分我们取得了良好进展，除了极端境况以外，现在已对演化规律于所有境况下之进程都有所掌握。
