My theory of evolution (of evolution threads)
Someone posts an article referencing either ID or ToE.
People argue the merits for a few posts.
The hardcore devotees arrive.
Humor is lost. Note the deterioration of the FSM threads.
Name calling starts.
Posters start getting petty.
Eventually only the hardcore devotees remain.
The final posts are hilarious to any outside observer.
The thread dies.
Maybe it is not evolution, but devolution.

Rotini rules!
Prescient observation.
It's difficult to take these threads seriously, because it's difficult to take the topic seriously.
