The Banana Slug, a bright yellow, slimy, shell-less mollusk commonly found on the redwood forest floor, was the unofficial mascot for UC Santa Cruz coed teams since the university's early years. The students' embrace of such a lowly creature was their response to the fierce athletic competition fostered at most American universities.
UC Santa Cruz has always offered a wide-ranging physical education and recreation program designed to appeal to the greatest number of students, but it has based its approach on some uncommon ideas: that athletics are for all students, not just team members of major sports; that the most important goal of a collegiate physical education department should be to introduce as many students as possible to lifelong physical activities; and that the joy of participating is more important than winning.

Not to go off on a tangent, but this is an example of why i believe in intelligent design (God) and not evolution. Are we believe an organism like this just spontaneously sprung from the ooze?

.....”the joy of participating is more important than winning”.....
I find that difficult to believe....reality tells me that loosing is not fun at all no matter how much I may have ‘participated’. There’s always greater joy in winning!

Correct. They simply post articles from original sources. Others include Science Daily, Eurekalert and others. They are simply an aggregator, so they have their place. Can’t visit every site regarding your interests, there are too many and most are worthless. A search engine has too many hits, most tangentially related.

Yeah, yet what if the participants are doing line dancing or jazz dancing or stretching to get limber or imagining to be trees and reaching and swaying. Physical fitness does not have to be a game of teams and scores.

No tangent at all. Everything in nature is incredibly complex. From a single cell to a living organism is a leap of faith for the evolutionist. They have their “god,” it's called chance. How did the first organism, the first cell evolve? Unanswerable, and unprovable. Pure chance is the mother of all....

That still generally requires a personal goal one wants to achieve. "Winning".

Someday we will have Massively Parallel Slime Mold computers that verify the blockchain.
