The problem with Creationists is that they won't evolve.

Flies aren't all bad though. I prefer them to the Creationists, actually.

At least flies have a beneficial side. Besides helping to control other insect pests, acting as scavengers and recylers, and serving as food themselves for other insects and many birds, they're are also great pollinators--only bees and some wasps pollinate more plants and flowers than flies.

And man, are they ever prolific!

If all of the offspring of only two flies were to survive and reproduce for only 5 months, the entire earth would be covered in flies to a depth of between 23 and 47 feet. That's some serious fucking.

For those who want more probably useless flies facts...
