A live springbok is just a fur coat with some sharp parts and an alimentary canal.
How can you so discount the spark of life????
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

I'm going to get to your questions, but someone named Brent just called me to tell me about ... uh ... I don't quite know, but it has to do with the airport.

The spark of life is all well and good, until it is chewing on your Versace earrings.

True -- but the alimentary canal and the pointy bits aren't quite the key difference between a fur coat and a live animal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Supposably he is answering all your questions now, although I am at work and can't look over his shoulder. By the end of this you will all be theists.
On first reading, I thought we were all going to be his thesis by the end of all this. No such luck?
The fact is, for every assumption, there's almost always at least one intelligent, well-informed person who doesn't accept it. So we've scaled back our ambitions a bit.
We have that here! I think we call it "But my experience contradicts your generalization" or something.
Was that post too long?
You can tell it's too long when the board breaks it into multiple posts.
