No, predation in animals arose before most plants existed. Animal life arouse in the oceans, prior to the evolution of plants. OK, I was thinking of algae and their evolution. Plants are strictly defined as being on land. but I don't see predators and prey as necessary for life I agree. I don’t think I implied it. I’m saying predation was necessary for humans to evolve to a point where we could contemplate the idea of evil. We also get to contemplate justice. Let me ask this: if there were no predation, would there still be evil? In Christianity, there is the idea of the lion sleeping with the lamb as a symbol of peace, and man lives in harmony with man. I view this idea as a metaphor for the end of predation, between animals and between people. Is there another interpretation based on DNA? life is about the mutable immortality of each individual's DNA I’m not sure what this means. My individual DNA can be rendered very mortal. Does DNA become more and less immortal as time goes by? So I look for a definition of evil that makes sense in that context. OK. Having spent so much time in the FADG board, have you gotten any hints of how to define evil as the tactics of war?
