Einstein (allegedly) said: “When a blind beetle crawls over the surface of a curved branch, it doesn’t notice that the track it has covered is indeed curved. I was lucky enough to notice what the beetle didn’t notice.” The blind beetle doesn’t notice, but it has an algorithm to sort out the topology of the branch surface, and skitter away from smug physicists.

One of the most famous apochryphal statements in annals of science was allegedly made by the evolutionary biologist J.B.S. Haldane (Jack, to his friends). When asked by a theologian or theologians what could be inferred about the mind of the Creator from the works of His Creation, Haldane replied, “An inordinate fondness for beetles.” Entomologists are up to 350,000+ known species of beetles, so if there is a God, Haldane may have had something there.
