More blah, blah blah

President Bush re-asserted his preference that evolution be taught along with the "intelligent design" theory in science classes. Link This, of course, has sparked a big controversy all over the eWorld.

I don't have anything unique to contribute to the argument, but I did see an interesting quote in one professor's email signature. By doing a Google search, you can see it's a big favorite of organizational behavior specialists and business consultants.

"It is not the most intelligent of the species which survives, nor is it the strongest, rather it is the one that is the most adaptable to change." -Charles Darwin

I think Darwin is right, but I don't think his quote was all that original.

The race is not to the swift
Nor the battle to the strong
__nor does food come to the wise,
__or wealth to the brilliant
or favor to the learned;
__but time and chance happen to them all.
________________-Ecclesiastes 9:11 (NIV)

So I'll finish this post with a question I would have liked to ask Darwin: What (or who) determines a species' adaptablility?
