Off-topic, but anyway...

However, mainstream evolutionary biologists believe that all of the Earth's biota shares one ancestor, a microbe that lived early in the Earth's history.

Perhaps a very minor quible, but I see no reason why there could not have been multiple biogenesis (note the lack of "a" at beginning) events. The earth's a big place - Why only one?

Take it easy gang
Might I suggest that all take it a little slower? Looking to turn into a babble-fest.
​
Also, might I suggest that "miss_smartie_pants_yes_um" go to her profile page, and adopt a little shorter name, that does not take up as much column width?
​
{Added by edit: Maybe just taking the _' out, and substituting spaces MIGHT do the job. Not sure, but maybe the system will then spread the name over two lines.}
​
Cheers to all,
