> DAVID: I think your viewpoint is too narrow.

> dhw: Your view is that the bush was designed to produce homo sapiens. I have offered four alternative and equally likely/unlikely explanations for the bush. What is your definition of a "narrow" viewpoint?-Darwin used a tree in his notebook. If we still thought it was a tree with US at the top we might not be arguing. But it is obviously a bush, yet we are still at the top. Same result, different process/method. -All members of the bush do well in their styles of living. They are all separate pinnacles in their own way. And they do provide a balance of nature which the environmentalists keep reminding us is of extreme importance. We really do all need each other. Why then did the human brach break out and become so dominant? There was no NEED for that to happen, but it DID. Chance? We both doubt that. What is left but purpose. In his book Tallis admits this point and is frantically looking for a third way to preserve his atheism!!! Hysterical!
