I'd rather ask talk.origins how the ant had evolved, than go anywhere

polluted by trollish egos.

I know what you mean, but the animal rights loonies don't care about
ants and if you read offline you won't have to download the endless
crap. It's easy to spot, the loons use capital letters in the subject

holiday season.
