It was an evolutionary dead end and the thread(s) went extinct. 😁
The poster evolved into a spiked toad.
“Does anyone remember those long threads about evolution a few years ago?”

Does anyone remember the epic threads a few years ago about evolution? I forget the main poster but the subject would swell to a thousand or two in short order.
In addition to being an interesting subject the science involved was all over the place. What I could follow. Most was over my head, but the passion was something to behold.
I also enjoyed the 'rational' evolution folk countering the 'emotional' Christian side of the subject with a batch of desperate fakery. The Piltdown Man probably the most famous.
Around about 2000 or 2001 I posted 6-part series of long missives here arguing that creation doctrine was the bedrock of any philosophy of conservatism. I doubt that’s what you are looking for, but if there’s a way to look it up it might be of interest to you as it provoked a fair bit of discussion. The screen name was Marathon.
“You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, yku know
We all want to change the world!”
Instantly bringing death to life, or multiplying ready to eat food in seconds, or creating the heaven and the earth in a ready for life condition....
Which is more impossible to the unspiritual mind?
If there is a soul in man (and woman), that lives after the body dies, who made that?
Thank God for hope of life after death!
wasnt his nickname coyote soemthing or other?

Best I can provide since you really provide sparse information to search on.
Called Crevo.
There were a lot of posters like you describe. Some guy claimed he was a right wing professor, some guy coyoteman or something.
I can’t remember. It’s like 20 years ago.
Here’s a link to a FReeper named Coyoteman who was an evo.

It’ll take you to many evo threads and there you will find other names to follow.
The Crevo threads, remember them well. I think they became so hostile that Jim chopped them off, same with Windows vs Mac threads.
