Bellenuit, I love your posts on this thread - particularly the little humanist video. It is so true, and makes so much common sense.
 
How do I get the cat video to play? Clicking on it brings no response.

OK, thank you. I imagined, wrongly it seems, that Ruby was referring to the message which preceded hers.

Julia, it's about 3 or 4 posts further up from the cat image. It's titled That's Humanism and is narrated by Stephen Fry

Of course you did. Why am I not surprised? Obviously nothing has changed in the last few months. You could, of course, put me back on Ignore.

Thanks to Bellenuit for courtesy in directing me to the video to which Ruby was referring.
And to Ves for simply, but without rancour , pointing out where I'd been in error.

Very interesting talk by Richard Dawkins. The beginning may be a bit uncomfortable for some who see him as a """"""""militant"""""""" atheist, but from about 15 minutes in where he simply discusses his area of expertise, evolutionary biology, as applied to the topic of discussion, he is at his scientific best.

The axolotl does not heal by scarring and is capable of the regeneration of entire lost appendages in a period of months, and, in certain cases, more vital structures. Some have indeed been found restoring the less vital parts of their brains. They can also readily accept transplants from other individuals, including eyes and parts of the brain””restoring these alien organs to full functionality.

We as humans could learn a lot from the Axolotl. Add a bit of thyroxine and this causes the gills to be absorbed into the body and the lungs to fully develop, as well as causing the eyes to develop eyelids like surface-dwelling animals. Hey Presto ... adult salamander.

As God intended no doubt :rolleyes:
 
Should be worth a watch when it is released.
