All those scientists who study living systems are supposed to be
"biologists". Yet, there is an intrinsic intellectual hierarchy which is
mainly due to the changing fashions. It appears that for the last several
years:

        Clinicians think that they are physiologists;
        Physiologists think that they are anatomists;
        Anatomists think that they are cell biologists;
        Cell biologists think that they are biochemists;
        Biochemists think that they are molecular biologists;
        Molecular biologists think that they are God;
        and what about God?
        Well, God does not think !!!

        (Got it????)...
