Why don't you help this old man, who has senior moments, and type out the definition of "crevo" for me in your own words. What does it mean as to beliefs? The contraction comment leaves this poster with aging synapses confused. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

It is an abbreviation, and it means nothing in terms of beliefs.

Here on FR, occasionally creationists and evolutionists will start debating on a thread.

This is happening with increasing frequency.

Many of the same posters are involved in what has become almost a day-to-day passtime.

Some of these folks are creationists (or IDers).

Others are evolutionists.

As a shorthand, to refer to these frequent threads, somebody combined the names into a single word. As I explained in a previous post, the initial letters of the words CReationist and EVOlutionist were combined into a new word, CREVO to refer to these threads.

The meaning is: a thread where creationists and evolutionists are exchanging posts (and usually disagreeing with one another). It has no connotations.

I don't understand why you are casting about for a deeper meaning for this. As far as I know, there is none.
