      Post "Show me a worm that understands"...CS Lewis Quote

      I recently heard this quote by C. S. Lewis (purportedly) but can't exactly remember how it goes or find it using the power of Google.

      It goes something like this:

      "Show me a worm that understands man and I will show you a man that understands God."

      Basically saying: as different as a worm is from man, man is from God.

      Anyone know how it goes for certain? I can't remember if it's "If you can show me a worm..." or ehmm..or it could be from somebody else too...

      Four years later, I found it!
