   Yes, it certainly is (naturalistic) fluff!

   It seems I missed the origin(s) of the bunny fixation, but showing that HUGE rabit to a German friend brought a rather humourous reaction. Can't help but think, though, that perhaps Telic Thoughts, at least in terms insisted upon by Mike Gene and Krauze that secular-ID or a-designer ID is an acceptable formulation, is somewhat similar to those who celebrate Easter by paying hommage to a rabbit.

   When one sees the 'Categories' at TT's and doesn't find anything titled 'Theology' or 'Religion' (or even 'Apologetics' or 'Argument from Design') it seems the expression is especially pertinent: What's up Doc?

   Religion (7)

   Looks like you guys need a Religion contributor :). Unless, that is, you are leaving the determination of successful categories up to the operation of natural selection.

   Thanks for correcting my oversight, Krauze. It looks like there's been a category 'Religion' at TT's since May 2006. If possible, 'Theology' might be a good addition also, though it might get less traffic from IDists than TE's or EC's (evolutionary creationists). Theology might also help MG explain the 'origins' of the rabbit-fixation.

   TT's Signpost:
   Religion (7)
   Intelligent Design (257)
   Nature of Science (59)
   Science (48)
   Design Inferences (2)
   Origin of Life (11)
   Irreducible Complexity (6)

   P.S. Mung, how about 'human selection' instead of 'natural selection' - that is, unless there are web bots doing 'artificial selection' that sends messages - click!
