This was a most excellent hike in which we talked about all manner of things. During a discussion about Intelligent Design, I made a pretty cool observation about the Leaf Cutter ant conundrum.

Leaf Cutter ants chew the leaves into a paste and use it to grow fungus for food. The argument for Intelligent Design says 'How did the ants learn to do this? Why don't ants learn to grow other things?' And this is proof that life was created and evolution guided by an intelligence and not some product of random happenstance.

I had a brilliant insight: Of course we only see the Leaf Cutter ants - What happened to the ants that tried to grow other crops - rubber trees, for example? They died out. Everyone knows an ant can't move a rubber tree plant.

Man, sometimes I am so smart I make my head hurt.
