A theory is not falsified by its inability to explain everything, as you should well know evo boy.
The tiny ears were to prevent heat loss? (There you go asserting features have a "purpose".) Do all animals with tiny ears live in cold climates? Snakes don't have large ears.

Actually, I don't believe snakes have any ears. Skinks do though.

Snakes don't have large ears. Um, snakes don't have ANY ears.
Like other reptiles they have no external ear at all. Like most other reptiles the quadrate bone is located just under the skin and channels sound to the cochlea. (IOW they hear in part with their jaw.)
It's a good idea if you don't ridicule others in the thread if you're gonna be making a significant gaffe yourself.
