<The best "fit" into the available environment...> I think this is what I am asking. We seem to assume that we are the best fit. The most successful of all, the pinnacle. I am not sure of that. If I strip away our own bias, I can think of many things that could be considered better fit, more successful. To make my point if not all ready I will use the 'God' word.
