You must have never heard of the Cambrian explosion. The term Cambrian explosion describes the geologically sudden appearance of animals in the fossil record during the Cambrian period of geologic time.

Not only that, but there is considerable debate over this among leading biologists, even now. I do not think you or I are qualified in the slightest to be arguing about it.

It is up to you as to who will you believe, Jesus or Satan? It looks like you have chosen Satan on this matter.

Originally posted by sonhouseI took Spanish years ago in High School, but years later all I could remember, except for individual words, were phrases like, "How are You? Very good, thank you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year."
So a gay straight ratio of 20%. That beats the world average of something like 5%.
I can only assume you start using Spanish as an ego trip to prove to everyone how smart you are.
Before I retired, I worked with some Spanish speaking people and could understand a little as long as they did not talk too fast, but I did not know it well enough to carry on a conversation with them. It took me too long to recall the words and put them in the right order. I would have to ask "Como se dice ... algo?" That is, "How do you say ... something? And they talk too fast and connect words together as if they are one word.
So I just recently got Spanish I CDs to refresh my memory and try to learn to speak and write it better. I don't know how long I'll be on this kick, since I get tired of things so quickly.
Adios amigo.
