Hyper-selectionism has been with us for a long time in various guises; for it represents the late nineteenth century's scientific version of the myth of natural harmony all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds (all structures well designed for a definite purpose in this case).

Faith no doubt moves mountains, but not necessarily to where we want them.

Mason Cooley

Faith actually moves no mountains, but instead raises them up where there were none before.

Friedrich Nietzsche

It's important to know that words don't move mountains. Work, exacting work moves mountains.
