On consideration, it is not surprising that Darwin's finches should recognize their own kind primarily by beak characters. The beak is the only prominent specific distinction, and it features conspicuously both in attacking behaviour, when the birds face each other and grip beaks, and also in courtship, when food is passed from the beak of the male to the beak of the female. Hence though the beak differences are primarily correlated with differences in food, secondarily they serve as specific recognition marks, and the birds have evolved behaviour patterns to this end.

I would maintain that the buddhist world-view, with its recognition of the crucial role of the mind and the inconceivably vast dimensions of reality is much richer and more adequate to philosophical reflection than the flattened world-view bequeathed to us through a presumptuous misapplication of the scientific method beyond its legitimate domain.
Bhikkhu Bodhi

If God kills, lies, cheats, discriminates, and otherwise behaves in a manner that puts the Mafia to shame, that's okay, he's God. He can do whatever he wants.
