Well guffo, I do like think I have comedic qualities. Bobert, that is the appliance of science. I'm talking about science as a process for explaining the universe. SJL, there can be no such thread. There is no intelligent design. You can't seem to get your head round the fact that billions of years of evolution are more than long enough for evolution by natural selection to accumulate all the attributes of living things that make the world so wonderfully diverse. Open your eyes. Every aspect of evolution by natural selection can be explained by the laws of nature that we know. There is no need, no space for an "explanation" that is anything but, something that will take infinitely more explaining than the stuff he's supposedly here to explain.
