That is so true. The potential for photoresponse goes at least as far back as the great oxygenation event. Consider how plants respond to the sun, following its course across the sky. Then consider the possible evolutionary connection between plants and animals at the time of the oxygenation event. It's all there.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
