Holy Bacteria!    

   Could it be? Can dog-eat-dog humans learn something from microorganisms? 

   Scientists at the University of Copenhagen found that (socialist?) bacteria survive by sacrificing to benefit the entire community. What a concept! What a blow to pride! 

   In their published study, researchers studied bacteria from a small corn husk where they had to fight for space. Instead of the strongest pushing out the others, microorganisms created space for the weakest to grow stronger and bigger. 

   Hey, Mr. Darwin: How does this explain "survival of the fittest?" Hey, Herr Hitler...

   Not only did bacteria make way for the weakest among them, they united against external threats such as antibiotics. They also distributed their labor by dividing tasks and helping their neighbors. 

   Shazzam! How do we put these little guys in charge of human organizations? 

   Researchers also saw that bacteria seemed to bring out the best in each other. When they acted as a community, the microbes suddenly exhibited new attributes that had been dormant while they were separated.  

   Jonathan Wells, at Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, said intelligent design goes beyond Darwin's theory of competition and survival.

   Pilgrims found that socialism doesn't work, because of self-centered human nature. Capitalism works much better, but never perfectly, because of self-centered human nature. 

   We will always be divided over this, when we could be united under the One who created.
