J.S.B. Haldane's reply when asked what his studies of biology had taught him about God.

McKenna echoed this same idea when commenting that for humans to be so central, why did evolution in the meantime manage to spit out 350,000 species of fucking beetles?

----

Q: How many types of beetles are there?
A: There are more kinds of beetles on earth than kinds of anything else! Someone has estimated that there are over 350,000 kinds of beetles. Oxford University Professor Robert M. May, in an October 1992 article in Scientific American titled "How Many Species Inhabit the Earth?" estimates that beetles account for at least a million of the earth's six million animal species. Only four thousand species of mammals have been identified, with only two species of elephants on this side of extinction. That means there are at least 1,500 types of beetles for every type of mammal (like elephants, humans, mice, and so on), prompting the British geneticist J.B.S. Haldane to remark that the Creator has "an inordinate fondness for beetles."

It's because beetles rule.

A beetle is a bug and Paul is a Beatle, so God likes rock and roll.

When will we have another Pope naming himself after Beatles?

And will it be the other two this time?
