Eastern Water Dragon by the Brisbane River
Mother & chick on the lily leaves. Southbank.
Wondering along on the way to University, I was reminded by gazing upon various animals, of the essential sameness of the bilateral design of birds, lizards, whales, humans, all with the virtually the same sets of bones: elongated, foreshortened, atrophied, different; and thought of the essential stupidity of the argument for God from intelligent design. It would seem that the designer has never got it right and just has to keep on experimenting.
And one does have to wonder about those, who, gratefully accepting all the wonders of modern science when it comes to interventions to save their lives, do not notice a parallel story of antibiotic drugs, rendered less useful, by the rapid evolution of the various viruses and bacteria. The design is neither finished nor final.
How I hate religion! (And there we go. We all seem to need something to demonize.)
