Evolution created morality.
God created Evolution.

So, saying "I could care less" is being ironic?

"Hot enough for you?"  I think it is an ironic question. Ironic is nice and sarcasm is not, I think. Irony is based on friendliness, sarcasm is bitterness revealed. Though the fine line between the two may not be straight. Well thought out and well said, BranShe. All spoken words are situational in meaning, that is; whenever the speaker and the "spoken to" agree on the essence of what has been said that becomes the meaning of what has been said. Period.

Though the fine line between the two may not be straight. Branny, as a Brit who enjoys both irony and sarcasm, I think that your analysis of the two forms is masterly. Couldn't have put it better meownse'f! (Underlines the closeness of Dutch and Brit ways of thinking! Let us never forget that William III was a Dutchman!)
