One more question. How do we know they can't interbreed unless we artificially inseminate them and see what happens? (there's a fun job...NOT). They may just be picky, or it could be a passe' thing to do at that point in time/history.

Oh, they try all on their own. For a real life example, check the fertility rates of Englishmen/Australian Aborigine marriages.

... the bulk of the conversation is ongoing on this thread from about post 267 forward.

Wow! Heavy duty stuff, and flame-free, too. Thanks for the pointer...

:)

Excellent! Here's one for you:

*cough*

I was a tadpole when I began to begin

Next I was a frog with my tail tucked in

Then I was a monkey in a coconut tree

And now I'm a man with a PhD.

There once was a creo from Kansas,
Whose rational faculty was hopeless,
When given a fact,
He'd inevitably react,
With ignorance imperviously righteous.
Not my best effort.

Veteran of a Thousand Crevo Wars (with apologies to Blue Oyster Cult)

Well, I guess I'm just going to have to trot out my "Ballad of the CREVO Troll" (a remake of the old "Rawhide" TV show's theme song.)

=============================

Keep trollin', trollin', trollin!
Through their threads we're scrollin’
Keep them Strawmen rollin', Troll-ooooon!
Don't try to understand 'em!
Just hook ‘em, play, and land 'em!
“Holy Warriors,” a crusade we are on.
My brain ain’t calculatin’
cuz I ain’t had no edjoocatin’
So I cut’n’paste “Hovind” until dawn.

Set ‘em up; knock ‘em down,
Knock ‘em down, prop ‘em up,
Prop ‘em up, knock ‘em down, Troll-oooon!
Knock ‘em down, set ‘em up,
Set ‘em up, knock ‘em down,
Knock ‘em down, prop ‘em up, Troll-oooon!

Keep trollin’, trollin’, trollin’,
A hundred “Strawmen” rollin’,
Keep them threads a boilin’, Troll-ooooon!
In spite of facts and reason
it’s anti-Evo season,
Glad that Charles Darwin is long gone!
Their evil lives we'll straighten
With quotes we're good at fakin',
and fallacies far and wide until dawn...

Set ‘em up; knock ‘em down,
Knock ‘em down, prop ‘em up,
Prop ‘em up, knock ‘em down, Troll-oooon!
Knock ‘em down, set ‘em up,
Set ‘em up, knock ‘em down,
Knock ‘em down, prop ‘em up, Troll-oooon!
TROLL-ON!!!

"evolution has stood the test of time and considerable scrutiny."

What new species have evolved since the theory surfaced ?

Heavy Metal's where I first heard it, too. I also went out and bought the soundtrack. I need to buy that movie.

For the longest time it was not released. (Song copyrights and all that)

Glad it's out now. Is a fun late night popcorn movie. :-)

Ah, you brush aside all the accumulated evidence and you latch onto this. Okay. Tell me, is this your last remaining reason for rejecting the theory? If I took the time to give you evidence that would answer this question, would it make any difference to you?

What kind of animal or hybrid life form did you evolve from ?

I should have know better than to respond to someone who shows up in a thread with over 1,000 posts and posts something silly to #1. My mistake. I assumed you were serious.

Haven't seen that movie in ages. Used to be a big B.O.C. fan though.

Yeah, the old Dake's bible. I have one, and used to use it when I first got saved as my main bible.

That's pretty much the gap theory.
