Your jest is safe with us, Don.

But, to be just a little serious, I can't really take seriously those folks who assert that evolution has never happened. Anybody who's had anything to do with plant or animal breeding will know that evolution is a fact. To take an example relevant to Oz, the pet budgerigar population in Britain and the US, if transferred back to the Australian grasslands whence they originated, would both die out and be incapable of breeding with the wild population because the pet populations are about twice the size of the wild type.

The creationists seem to not be capable of understanding that what's got their knickers really in a twist is natural selection rather than evolution.
