Who's ultimate goal? The lab rats and the underpaid biologists in flannel shirts and tape-repaired glasses who spend countless hours gathering field specimens? I never knew those folks cared about anything other than the science itself.
If their ultimate goal is the nefarious capture and corruption of the souls of all mankind, you'd think they'd find a better way to carry that out than eating stale tuna-fish sandwiches at midnight while spending 36 hours straight in a poorly ventilated lab under fluorescent lights analyzing the reproductive peculiarities of ascocarps.
"Who's ultimate goal?
Darwinists'.
I thought that was clear.
