Most Earthy biomass is microbial and thrives in the deep rocks, so one must think of any consistent creator-deity as (a) subterranean and (b) fond of heat and sulphur. Any orchid-related creationist deity must have an affinity for insects, insofar as the raison d'être of the family is the rivetting of the attention of bugs. Haldane, of course, thought that "that Almighty" had "an extraordinary affinity for beetles", so it may be that is closer to the mark. In place of beards and harps, therefore, perhaps the modern iconography for creationism should tend to carapaces and stridulation? ______________________________ Oliver Sparrow +44 (0)20 7736 9716 www.chforum.org _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
