Well crap. I have been gone for a day and this is what I get LOL
Now, "Diversify" is exactly what evolution is. Species branch into different area because they ADAPT. Adaptation is short-term evolution, or evolution that occurs very quickly. Also, a MAJOR part of what Sly said was "God did it". This is NOT a viable scientific explanation because it cannot be proven. No proof whatsoever.
@Reamus: On the contrary, Religion IS the topic of this thread. Data chose to split it, but I intend to act as if this was just another extension of the Religion thread, which is what I had wanted in the first place.
Also, Reamus, geological upheavel DOES happen. A lot. Mountains form, plates move, earthquakes happen, and soil gets moved around. So bones from people end up on the bottom of the sea, or under mountains. Also, the "flood" he is referring to is not a flood at all but when there just wasn't any land above the water. The earth had not had time to shift its plates enough.
