Score 1 for Creation, er Nature

Once again creation has trampled over mankinds' latest and greatest. Scientists have identified a sea sponge that has been doing fiber-optics longer and better than us. They are now studying it to figure out how to make our fiber optics as good. I think this will be a long time in the making considering their track record at trying to duplicate the created world. I enjoy how they are all eager to give credit where credit is due. "It's such a wonderful example of how exquisite nature is as a designer and builder of complex systems," said Geri Richmond, a chemist and materials scientist at the University of Oregon. (italics mine) Once again nature becomes a surrogate placeholder for that three letter word that science cannot utter -- "GOD".
