What Mad Pursuit
‘J.B.S. Haldane was once asked what the study of [tag]biology[/tag] could tell one about the Almighty. “I’m really not sure,” said Haldane, “except that He must be inordinately fond of beetles.” There are thought to be at least 300,000 species of beetles. By contrast there are only about 10,000 species of birds.’
