ACF, you and Jay are singing the same song. How cool is that? <Nature has no intentions. Evolution has no purpose. It just is what it is. > As Jay says, things, "just is". While I have no idea on what the "intention" is, or "purpose", or even which direction is "downhill", if we accept that there is a gravitational drive to what's going on, there is definitely a teleological aspect to what I see. I would bet more on there being "purpose" than on Aztecs having "the word". No, I didn't know that I might have Attila the Hun DNA, but would not be surprised where genes have moved in the human menagerie. <Exercising voluntary control over our reproductive organs is about the only thing that separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. > How about driving cars and playing golf? I haven't seen many from the animal kingdom doing those. <Men aged 45 to 49 were twice as likely to have children with schizophrenia as men under the age of 25> This, and the attention-seeking assertion seem to me to be examples of correlation rather than causation. Meaning, what a load of cobblers. Mqurice
