Cats and evolution
Consider the cat: his philosophy is simple and easy to execute. Sleep, eat, play with some string or a ball, rub against a leg or chair, repeat. He has no attachments to physical or animate objects. When you stare into the eyes of a cat, you see the souless gazing of a zen master.
Student: Master, what is enlightenment?
Master Cat: Feed me.
Student: Here is your food. What is the meaning of existence?
Master Cat: Rub my back.
Student: Good boy, you like a good rub?
Master Cat: If you rub me wrong again, student, I will kill you and eat your corpse. I will invite all of my friends over to feast on your dead body. Then I will seek and kill any of your descendants. And when I'm done with them, I will seek and kill all your ancestors. And when I'm done with that, I will go horizontally on your inheritance chain and kill all of your cousins, neices, uncles, aunts and so forth; basically anyone who shares at least 10 alleles in common with you.
Student: Why did you bite me? Do you like when I pet you like this?
Master Cat: Ah, that feels good.
Student: What is the cause of suffering in the world?
Master Cat: Leave me alone now. I am sleepy.
So my question is this, and it should be a simple one: Why do cats like seafood, like crab and shrimp?
How, exactly, does a cat in the wild get a hold of some shrimp? How does he catch a crab and then eat the moist, succulent meat? There is no possible way that a cat would have any notion of seafood, much less love and enjoy eating it. How is this possible? The domestic cat has no chance of this, surely. Perhaps it could catch the odd goldfish. But crab? How does the wild african lion eat a nice crab? A bear might eat salmon, but a cat? What is the cat family and where is this cat that can eat a shrimp or a crab in the wild?
I love how the intelligent design lunatics lost their battle in court. Perhaps they can clear up this cat/seafood problem for us. I would like to defeat the right-wing Pat Bush followers thus:
The universe is complex.
Anything this compelx must have been designed.
Anything that is designed must have a Designer.
The Designer must not just design, he must also create by bringing designs into existence.
So the Designer is the Creator.
The Creator of everything must be God.
Therefore, Intelligent Design is a theistic belief and must be decimated and destroyed.
