This has to be...I'm so glad I came across this. This has to be the best, and most inventive, probing of the existence of God I've come across. <br /><br />I knew rabbits ate their own crap, but I didn't know that was why. It just seems so...well, pointless. I mean, if God designed all these animals you'd think he (He? I'm a bit of a heathen so I'm unsure of the appropriate capitalisation) would remember all of the efficient digestive systems he made. Unless rabbits came first, and he just kept them around as a reminder of the importance of not slacking off when it comes to digestive system design.<br /><br />"Carrying around your midnight snack in your large intestine is a rather elegant way to do things when you're a prey animal that's constantly being hunted and have no opposable thumbs." >> This also made me chuckle, and also appreciative of my thumbs.<br /><br />ps. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about rabbits. I find them kind of sinister. It's the practically silent thing (that, and the fact I was savaged by one as a child). I just don't trust them..lekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18243919246642205776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8097535174382009674.post-69603954321227555212011-04-13T18:01:31.339-04:002011-04-13T18:01:31.339-04:00- It's not so much as eating crap is disgustin...- It's not so much as eating crap is disgusting (which it is), but the fact that's it's so inefficient and silly. If a god really said "Well, that only way you can break down hay is going to be to eat your own crap. So I'll make your own crap delicious to you!", did it ever occur to him/her that maybe, just don't make them have to do that?<br /><br />- If bunnies got a higher level of nutrition per meal then maybe the midnight snack wouldn't be needed. And I'm aware of the cow similarities but, as they're not nearly as cute, I felt they weren't a compelling enough argument.<br /><br />-Yes, caused by humans. But if you believe in an all powerful god who watches as we do and is compassionate and loving, then such things could never and would never happen. So really they're just strikes against that particular flavor of god. I think god-the-creator, who just made stuff and then took a nap for several millennia isn't at fault for that sort of thing.<br /><br />Plus, you know. I just thought it was funny.<br /><br /><3Danyellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16668537606918945664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8097535174382009674.post-35263798236200940232011-04-13T16:49:32.834-04:002011-04-13T16:49:32.834-04:00Well,

It's only your silly human mores that find it appalling. In fact, the fact that rabbits find their own crap delicious is a point in favor of a merciful god: "Well, that only way you can break down hay is going to be to eat your own crap. So I'll make your own crap delicious to you!"<br />C) Carrying around your midnight snack in your large intestine is a rather elegant way to do things when you're a prey animal that's constantly being hunted and have no opposable thumbs. Cows accomplish the same thing by regurgitating and re-chewing their food all day. Something that a bunny on the run doesn't have the time to do. <br /><br />point of fact: all the points you have against god are acts of man, not god... aside from cecotropes.<br /><br />...
