This is a good point in regerd to the psychology behind "Eves" thinking...but then again God set up exclusivity by setting the Tree apart from all other trees...so we have to say exclusivity is necessary sometimes.

Hi Tina,
One major cause of evil is agression /transgression. The root of agressive behvior is most often traced back to an area in the brain called Amygdala, to the effect of a hormone called testosterone. I may be wrong again

I think enough digging is done and maybe time to state and discuss your theory

Speciation then says cat's can turn into dogs? But say speciation is the explanation for two similar species that cannot reproduce with eachother (but stemming from the same species originally) why cannot there be another explanation for this variation sa the DNA of some other seperate biological system has entered the reproductive system of one effecting the changes. I say this because of current scientific findings and research.
The single organisms "mutations" are not being allowed to be investigated by Darwinian science and cannot be viewed as purposful.

Right - you can't spell out biology and I don't expect you to. The point I make is that we cannot use the the human value judgements of "selfish, altruistic etc" to explain amoral biological systems of non-human life.

These words don't begin to explain what is really going on. Dawkins calls insects altruistic - but what does an insect know of altruism...yet insects act in a WISE altruistic way - all organic life (except humans) acts in a WISE way. We call this INSTINCT. But the ideas of "altruism and selfishness" are products of human value judgements maybe extrapolated from watching non-human behaviour - but they are not instinctive and cannot be written into DNA. They are learnt behaviours.

Profpat - this is nothing that a wee smack on the bottom won't fix! Now stop throwing tantrums and tell me why the thing is causing you to think this way and have a hissy fit.
