I think they stole that from a Danielle Steele novel...

Yes, but since the world was created 5,000 years ago, you would not expect that it's evolved much.

Hasn't evolved much? The Gouldians aren't going to like this.
Most parasites like lampreys, mosquitos, and liberals remain pretty much unchanged throughout earths history. I'm sure we will soon be digging up some old hippies fossil that proves that any day now.
I thought all vertebrates by definition had back bones. But ...
"These are pretty insubstantial animals," Coates said. "Lacking a boney skeleton, they rot down, leaving no hard parts, like a skull or ribs. So if a fossil site is discovered that yields impressions of the delicate remains of these animals, then this site needs to be explored thoroughly for other examples of exceptional preservation."
Explanation?
I must have dated her.
Hmmm...hasn't changed much in 360,000,000 years. So, why not? Did all the random mutations just never find themselves in a favorable environment to be selected? I don't get it.
Ugly little 'suckers'.
Unaltered for 360 million years? Back to the books for evolutionists. Since a lamprey didn't need to evolve this means that humans didn't either. That's what I get out of this.

And why hasn't it evolved much?...C'mon say it..."Because evolution is a fairy-tale."
Bill Clinton would hit it.
"Abundant in the Northeast United States, lampreys have a sucker-like mouth with a ring of cartilage that supports the rim of the mouth. It fastens on to a living fish with its teeth, rasps at the host's soft tissues with its piston-like tongue, produces strands of mucus to trap the food and feeds on the body fluids."

I hate lampreys. I hate lampreys (and I hate who posted those pictures.)
I hated lampreys from the first time I accidentally saw one in my high school biology book and screamed in class.
Hell is full of lampreys (and leftists. Or maybe I'm just being redundant about parasitic creatures with no backbones.)
This makes the lampray very much more in tune with Earth's long term environment than any other vertebrates species. That, in Darwinian terms means they are the "fittest". All the others were "less fit" ~ that is, they were evolutionary failures!
So the eel hasn't changed in 360 million years but apes turned into men. Boy, evolution sure is fickle. Or else its all bull crap.

I'm trying not to laugh.
