Mother Nature? Oh, please......

Believe or dismiss what you want, but at least have the decency and respect to let others have that, too.
Some do believe in the One Force, Mother Nature, whatever you want to call it, others don't.
Some hail current sience as the alfa and omega, yet for others that is a false religion....
Talking and friendly animals as seen in cartoons for example, is a totally different matter and have nothing to do with the above.

I'll keep refering to 'mother' nature etc because it's a handy way of communicating a wider meaning and as a mother.... well, I think it's a real special thing, maybe thats why 'Father Time' and male deieties are refered to with a similarly respectful pre-thingumy 
I think more respect wouldn't be a bad thing throughout all human society tbh!

If I had the hair for it I would just stand wistfully and point at the stars and say "Aaaaint it amazing"

Thanks mm - am perfectly aware of the "theory"! Just don't agree with it (particlarly the religious add-ons that have been ascribed to it)- a global self-regulating super-organism for life? Or Darwinian evolution at an individual species level making the best of conditions present at the time? The latter makes sense, the former doesn't, particularly as it refuses to accespt that the Earth is not a self-contained unit - it depends on external bodies - the Sun and Moon in particular - for providing the forces essential for life to exist. And one or the other will destroy the Earth in due course (unless we get in the way of an energy burst from a supernova, or comet, or super-caldera, or nuclear winter, independent of the effects of the "self-regulating super-organism"....

Trouble is, Matron lets them all out for an "airing".
You've confused me now Andy. The human body is a self regulating super organism (think of all the bacteria we depend on to digest food) subject to both internal and external influences - but it doesn't mean it was designed that way.
Entropy doesn't imply design. But you ranked Gaia theory up there with lizard overlords. Which seemed a little harsh.

Seems to me Andy you're looking for a get-out clause, denying all our responsibilty regarding the ways we treat our fellow creatures............Evolution can only excuse so much.
? Interesting twist of logic there bt! From disliking anthropomorphism to denial of responsibility for treating our fellow animals? Nice one.
So tell us - in the same vein - when did you stop beating your wife?

Who said I've stopped ? .............Mmmmm.. disliking Anthropomorhism or considering those that Anthropomorphise as being ignorant ?
