Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?



One of us! One of us! One of us!

I'd rather be outside.

You know, sometimes I wonder how long it would take for two separate human populations with no contact with the other to become unable to produce non-viable offspring with the other group.

... in other words, how long it would take Homo sapiens to become something else. >_>

Doubt that, Fluff.

A Species can differentiate rather quickly, if it is separated from breeding groups for enough generations. It would take far less than billions – less than millions. Probably only thousands of years, if separated and put under enough different conditions to evolve separately.

The problem for humans is that we medicate, so we defy natural selection, so we don't change all that much genetically.


In any case, Darwin HATED slavery. He utterly ABHORRED it. He almost lost his passage on The Beagle in argument with a Christian Fundamentalist, slavery-loving, racist bigot who was the Captain of The Beagle. Luckily, the guy let his temper cool down, and Darwin never spoke so passionately about his liberal-beliefs in front of the captain again.

Fluff probably wasn't being literal considering the earth itself is only 4.6 billion years old >.>

Oh, I know. I think he was making a statement on how ridiculous our species is, though. How long it takes us to do anything right. Which makes sense.

But I think, theoretically, it could take much less time. Not as quickly as Finches on different islands, of course: we have longer life spans and longer gaps between generations.
