@Flimzy I apologize for that. Nothing personal. I do that with everybody. I know i will always come back. i'll make an adjustment with you.
Just some of my thoughts on the matter since you brought up animals. My understanding of catholic theology is that God conceives the Son via the intellectual knowledge he has of himself. But in human beings, it is the woman who conceives the offspring.
In the animal kingdom, the "papa" seahorse is the one who conceives and is "pregnant" with his babies. To me, the seahorse in this manner images the Father even more than human fatherhood.
