I don't know, Eorl. I'm not so sure that guilt or remorse is exclusive to humans. Is there any evidence to support the idea that they lack a sense of conscience?

(And what the heck is HN51??)

Well echi, you don't see too many locusts in therapy. Some higher mammals may have some sense of guilt, but environmental awareness I doubt very much.

HN51.. Shocked ..you are kidding right? or maybe a hermit with no access to TV or internet ?! It could well bring the world to it's knees in less than a year.

Fair enough, I apologize.

HN51 is a virus sweeping the world via birds that tends to kill humans (and now maybe cats) who have contact with the birds. So far it's not transmissible between humans...but that may change, and when it does it's gonna get ugly.
(Unless of course you don't believe in evolution, in which case the virus won't change at all and everyone is safe :wink: )

But you probably wouldn't have wanted to know all that anyway...kinda defeats the purpose of having turned off the TV !

It seems to me that the most obvious evidence as to the error in the Intelligent Design idea is that no entity capable of creating this beautiful earth would have added the one and only blemish, which is the human species.

What about those cannibal frogs that eat their own young?

Bubonic plague?
