Unintelligent Design: A monstrous discovery suggests that viruses, long regarded as lowly evolutionary latecomers, may have been the precursors of all life on Earth —
‘We haven't even begun to scratch the surface. The numbers are mind-boggling. If you put every virus particle on Earth together in a row, they would form a line 10 million light-years long. People, even most biologists, don't have a clue. The general public thinks genetic diversity is us and birds and plants and animals and that viruses are just HIV and the flu. But most of the genetic material on this planet is viruses. No question about it. They… are the major players… in determining how organisms even become what they are.’
— Mark Young, a Montana State University biologist, quoted in an article by Charles Siebert, in «Discover» Vol. 27 No. 03, March 2006, at http://www.discover.com/issues/mar-06/cover/
