Ask, and you shall be given. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, would give him a snake instead?
Or if he asks for an egg, would you give him a scorpion?
So if you, even though you are evil, still know to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?
[Luke 11:9-13]

God seems to have a lot of agendas in 2020
Consider the area at the very back of the brain called the primary visual cortex, or "V1." This is the conduit for almost all information that passes between the eyes and the rest of the brain. Each V1 brain cell covers a tiny area of the visual world, and fires most actively when the local pattern of light in that area corresponds to the edge of an object. V1 seems to be a set of edge- detectors. Vision researchers believe that this is simply an efficient way to process visual information about the world, since vision is about seeing objects, and objects tend to have edges. This edge- detection principle has been used in most successful robot vision systems designed by humans.
Now consider how a male could grab the attention of a female's V1 system. He has to activate her edge-detectors. He could evolve a body that has many more real edges than average, perhaps a sort of fractal design. But the more real edges he has per unit of body volume, the more fragile his body would be and the more heat he would lose. Better to evolve sexual ornaments that display lots of fake edges. Dots would work, but thin parallel stripes would be even better, displaying more edge information per unit area. Perhaps stripes became popular sexual ornaments across many
species because stripes are optimal stimuli for activating the visual cortex.
A similar explanation might account for the popularity of sexual ornaments with bilateral and radial symmetry
Biologist Magnus Enquist suggested that symmetric patterns might be the most exciting way to stimulate animal visual systems.
