One relationship is that Epstein and Skinner demonstrated that pigeons could be taught to pass the rouge test, thus demonstrating a 'sense of self'. Whether they (the pigeons) had high self esteem is presently unknown. -- The best argument against Intelligent Design is that fact that people believe in it. * PAUL K.
