Mother Nature 'is just chemistry, biology, and physics,' Watson likes to say.  'Everything she does is just the sum of those three things.  She's completely amoral.  She doesn't care about poetry or art or whether you go to church.  You can't negotiate with her, and you can't spin her and you can't evade her rules.  All you can do is fit in as a species.  And when a species doesn't learn to fit in with Mother Nature, it gets kicked out.'  It's that simple, says Watson, and that's why 'every day you look in the mirror now, you're seeing an endangered species.
