My memory seems to think I was most interested in responding to the questions regarding the sociological effects of common descent vs. whatever it is you want to call not-common-descent.

Personally, I believe there is a negative ethical or moral effect to believing that nothing but blind luck made us so far superior to anything else in the world. I prefer a not-common-descent pathway, and I am skeptical of common descent... probably unreasonably so... because I so much prefer the moral and ethical path inferred by intentional existence.

As I said before, I fully understand the argument that common descent could be intentional as well. What I am attempting to do here, by explaining my beliefs to you in this manner, is to allow you the room to consider my beliefs in this regard as religious or even mystical ones. That should help you. I honestly have very little desire at this point to continue explaining to you what I have already said. There's probably not much more I can add, and even less motivation on my part to find it for you.

Currently, I am just a bit more interested in economic and political stuff. Let's just leave this as it is: You whupped my ass. I am wrong, you are right, and I am willing to say that I accept on it's face whatever it is you propose I should believe on this subject.

How can someone who obviously thinks so much of their ideas have so little respect for expressing them? How can someone who so yearns to be taken seriously make so little effort?!
