For the first time in a long time it was a relief to find that it was only a Creation Scientist writing an intro to the "Origin".

Churches which are allowed to preach creationism dont have to pay taxes. Scientists who believe in evolution, do. Level the playing field, I say.
(Geneboy, mashed banana is normally pretty good for nausea.)

Mashing does work. I think there's something 'missing link-ish' about the action of using tools.

By the way, is 'Troll' in any way connected with the term, 'Off his trolly'?

Given that the world is only 6 thousand years old, we can now reasonably assume that what preceded the earth for about 159, 994 000 years, was some sort of tree with a big branch protruding from it for the said reptile to perch on.
This would also explain why a mature apple tree makes such an early appearance in the Adam and Eve story.
I'm so glad that, that problem has now been definitively resolved.
