ICANT - I'm really really confused. I've been reading both sides of this debate and I'm trying to understand your distaste in taxonomic classification.
How about we create a new word, "backboners", which is simply a way for us to describe a creature that God created that he decided to install a backbone in.
You, me, fish, birds... we are all backboners.
Do you object to this classification?
How about 'twoeyes' - creatures that have two eyes. You, me, fish, birds - all twoeyes.
I'm not saying that these words mean anything other then a descriptive to let others know something about a creature.
So I say that I've just discovered a new critter that I've decided to name a "Bobblehead" and this creature is a member of the backboner group. You would immediately know that this animal has a backbone.
Do you object to this?
