The "tree of life" which is the visualization of the theory of common descent, i.e. the theory of evolution.

OK. I think I understand. I had visions of:

Or is that the tree of "Knowledge of good and evil?" I never could keep them all straight.

But if you are thinking of the evolutionary tree of life:

vs. the baraminology "trees" of life, sorry; I can't really agree with that for the evidence we have here on earth.

I really do have a hard time following what you post. You and BettyBoop seem to be talking more in "philosophy" than science, and for me to understand what you are saying is like wrestling with a mound of jello. Every time I think I grasp what you are saying, it slips away into a gooey mess. (Sorry.)

Indeed, I am speaking of the evolutionary tree of life. I'm astonished that we need to specify which one when we say "tree of life" these days. LOL!
