stu - looking up "autapomorthy " , it seems to me that assigning something which has a feature that is unique makes it difficult to place in an exact clade. would the platypus be an example of this?.
[I imagine that had it become extinct, it might be heralded as transitional!]
I am having difficulty understanding what your point is. whilst I appreciate organisms may be grouped together due to variation by natural selection, there is little ,if any evidence that any grouping beyond those limits is legitimate , since your common descent is equally, if not better explained by a common design .
when I say information, I am referring to the code of dna "letters" that continually "write" the same "blueprint". there is no evidence being offered that anything beyond that is being copied that could lead to macro evolution.

I am curious as to whether you think anything is better than something else. for example , the "simplest" single cell ,though having some complexity is much lower than the higher taxa.
do you see humanity as not having more value than lower forms, or do you see a line of demarcation somewhere- mammals perhaps?.

Pete, you haven't got to grips with this at all. If you really want to disprove a theory, then you need to understand it first. Seriously.


"I am curious as to whether you think anything is better than something else. for example , the "simplest" single cell ,though having some complexity is much lower than the higher taxa.
do you see humanity as not having more value than lower forms, or do you see a line of demarcation somewhere- mammals perhaps?."


Better in what way? Define better.

If, however you mean 'superior' then I believe all living beings are equal in the sense we are part of the complex and wonderful web of life on this planet. No one organism is truly superior as every living thing is a single stage in a long and complex process, a living snapshot of evolution as it is now.

As I've mentioned before, the idea in Genesis that says man has dominion over all living things is a message of pure evil, elevating humankind above the rest of nature and giving a certain type of person licence to abuse and exploit the other living beings and the environment they live in under some sort of twisted moral authority. Of course, godless people do the same but at least they might admit their motivation and uncaring and inconsiderate attitude.


"when I say information, I am referring to the code of dna "letters" that continually "write" the same "blueprint""

But they don't you see. That's the point.

Well, pete, it's worth bearing in mind a quote from the great American scholar and anthropologist, Jared Diamond i.e.:

"Elimination of lots of lousy little species regularly causes big harmful consequences for humans, just as does randomly knocking out many of the lousy little rivets holding together an airplane."

You see, nothing is superior to anything else and everything is interdependent. That doesn't stop 'god-fearing' 'superior' human beings from trashing the world around them and endlessly knocking out thousands of "lousy little rivets". One day soon the airplane is going to come crashing down and there will be no one left to fear God!

"Pure evil" applies to any message, propagated to the bigger world, that preaches certainty about mythology. I can't think of anything more nastily dishonest than that. A message that preaches that the world would be a better place were this ideology to prevail. That there is just one true faith, the one that is propagated by one book, the Bible, that enjoys no foundation whatsoever in evidence. That all hard-working science counts for nothing in the light of a superior being who can't be explained and who almost certainly does not exist. Pete, you yourself adhere to all these things, and every point I've covered is an example of pure evil. Why? Because they are deliberately intended to steer people towards one particular, discredited creed and away from truth. That is pure evil. You yourself are either pure evil (if you believe this stuff and desire to propagate it) or you're a fool who's been hoodwinked. I've decided which you are. So over to you.

" ... charging that the genesis dominion mandate is a license for selfishness, carelessness and destruction. adam was put into the garden to tend it,- which I suppose makes him some kind of conservationist!"

Yes, it does appear to be a licence for all of those things, doesn't it, pete? You may recall that when western Christians - and their priests - went to other parts of the world they not only enslaved and oppressed the people they found there but also trashed their environments. And this trashing is still going on and is accelerating. These days the religious elements have largely been lost but I reckon that, if you dug down, you'd find the toxic concept of "dominion" to be at the root of this catastrophic destruction.

" ... there are a number of other texts which teach care of animals and even trees."

What do you mean by AND EVEN TREES, pete? In your world, are trees 'lower' than animals?

It's "ad nauseam" you ignorant git. Additionally, there are no "evolution believers". I mean, how many bloody times do we have to tell you this? Are you completely bloody stupid or what? You do not "believe" in a tenet of science. You weigh up the EVIDENCE (did you manage to read that word or shall we give you a few dictionary references for it?) and you come to a conclusion based on that EVIDENCE. You do not "have faith" or "believe in it". Only twats such as yourself apply such low-bar qualifications to the stuff you're force-fed with. We scientific types are sceptical by default. Tell us to "believe" stuff and we tell you to sod off (so sod off). We accept nothing without EVIDENCE and the EVIDENCE bar is set very high (you wouldn't understand, of course, because nothing you believe in can be corroborated by EVIDENCE). Also, do apprise us of evil done by advocates of evolution. Real evolution, not the nonsense your silly websites tell you about social "Darwinism" or Hitler (who, had he been alive today, would have been one hundred percent on your side. As yanks say, go bloody figure).

My actual task for this sunny Sunday morning. ..

Two wild cherry trees that weren't part of the landscape design when it was carried out a few years ago have now become so large they bugger the symmetry of the garden.

Humanely as I possibly can, I will saw the base with a chainsaw, rough up the stump of the trunk and pour in stump poison which over the winter will kill the roots and shrink the whole thing making it easier to dig out in the spring.

The trees will be stripped of their smaller branches (eventually to be shredded) and the trunk sawn into small logs to be dried out for my wood burning stoves.

As I said. As humanely as I can. I will keep the chainsaw behind my back till the last possible moment.

When I worked for Radcliffe Parks Dept. in 1969, one day the parks superintendent showed up with two young cherry trees, took us into the churchyard of the parish church and showed us where he wanted 'em planted. We duly removed two neat circles of turf, dug the holes out, loosened the subsoil, enriched the soil, planted and staked the trees and backfilled carefully. Lovely job done. That afternoon the super came round again, stood back looking at our handiwork, stroking his chin and frowning, and said "They're not quite right. Just dig them up and plant them again eighteen inches to the left, would you."

"what you do seem to understand, is that if you grant the greater and more distinct properties of humanity, it might lead to implications of his being made in Gods image."

I certainly don't think that at all, and I don't recognise the "greater and more distinct properties of humanity" as being exclusive to humans; it's a conceit borne of arrogance and misunderstanding. As for being made in god's image, it can never happen as there is no god, nor evidence for one, and as for Adam being a conservationist, I'll leave the theological claptrap to you Pete, it really has zero relevance as once more, it is a fairytale.


"and on what basis do you ascertain and pronounce something as evil?
...on your own subjective morality, I presume."


All our moralities are subjective, it's how we arrive at them and practice them that is the issue. In my case, my morality is built on a profound respect for all life, because we are made of star stuff and we are the universe made conscious. All life is interconnected, all life is precious and we are part of something far bigger than ourselves, a fact which expresses itself as religion in some cases, albeit with a load of todge about walking on water and fish butties thrown in by desert storytellers. My morality is based on solid science, and I don't subscribe to dogma or superstition.

The idea man has dominion over the natural world has led us to the appalling state of affairs we are in now. Two thousand years of seepage from the Abrahamic religions into the collective cultural consciousness has given this nasty and profoundly ignorant meme huge weight, with the consequence we are trashing the planet at a greater rate with each passing year. From anthropogenic climate change to the last, gasping, bloody breath of the now poached-to-extinction Western Black Rhino and fuck knows how many atrocities on a daily basis, the idea that the natural world is our to exploit whatever the cost is one of the most backward, hateful and evil concepts ever. End of.

Ye of little faith, my fellow associated gnome.....

Cooee!!   xxx

Mind you, not tonight. The old sciatica playing up after an afternoon in the garden. Still.. Better than the mass funeral yesterday.

(Lost all my tropical fish... A chemical reaction that can take off if you have too many snails, and the assassin snails weren't doing their job. A bit cut up about it to be honest. Over two dozen fish. Had to bleach the tank and filter apparatus, rinse thoroughly and dry it all... I have packed it all away for a few years now. Since April I no longer work from home so not spending all day with them in the study. The corner where the tank and stand were now has a couple of guitars on stands .)

just a small question, when you was putting the circles of turf back did he keep shouting "green side up!!!"..

Green side up my arse, twatess. Do you honestly think we put the turf back right up to the trees? City girl, I take it?

However, let me enlarge (as the vicar said to the duchess). To me, as well as to the late, great John Seymour, turf is manure. These days I would break up the turf and incorporate it into the mix that goes into the planting hole, ensuring that the grass is sufficiently buried to prevent regrowth. And, if Eric Robson's listening, no I'm not free to join the panel as I go to both Mass and Benediction on Sundays before rushing home to catch Songs Of Praise.

shaw you really are a stupid twat!! You have really legged your stupid self up with your own cleverness, knobead "we duly removed two neat circles of turf"? No good trying to justify your pseudo agricultural skills with saying "these days I would have done Blah Blah rotten blah" you fraud.Your crassness is here in black and white for all to see!!

Listen you self righteous prig, it has always been the accepted way of putting things back in the ground, either re- planting, digging ash pits,graves,relaying lawns, cricket pitches, latrines when camping or any way of disturbing TURF is to put it back without any sign of intrusion..that is why we have tools such as TURF cutters? as I have said before you are well under qualified for digging holes and filling them back in again.

What next? YES here we go again, clinker choked crayons lined up for the rusty sheriffs badge/tattered rosette/fresh bullet wound/Japanese flag..take deep breath and here we go..it will only hurt for a little while!!

Pseudo-agricultural my arse! The matter I was referring to was, as 100% of the world's population except you realise, purely hortifriggincultural. I've planted many a tree, my fiend, and not one has succumbed to any issue relating to my technique. Au contraire, mon tosseress: the world is awash with my plantings. Why, ten years ago I raised and sold over 300 palms from seed and they now adorn Bude to the exclusion of almost everything else taller than six feet. If only you could eat the bastards.

And by the way, sugartitties, I don't know how many friggin' trees you've ever planted (if any, they're definitely all dead, that's for sure), but you do not replace turf with no sign of disturbance around the base of a newly-planted tree unless you wish it to die (maybe you've only ever planted Leylandii, you antisocial bleeder). If I were you I should stick to what you're good at, which is probably very little unless it's ramming bundled ginger-flavoured crayons up whatever unwashed, chocolate-smothered, fish-scented orifices according to your gender you happen to possess (bumholes excluded, as we all have those - two in your case I should think, though I doubt you could distinguish them from the holes in your Polos).

They have gone to a better place. Unless you are a Christian in which case they don't let animals in heaven.
