Why is this thread still going strong - some of you seem to be severly
traumatised by my post.
In anycase you do realise that Common Ancestor redirects to Common
Descent on Wikipedia?

Would anybody care to tell me what has Common Ancestor as used in my
opening post got to do with Common Descent. I presume we all had a
common ancestor 5billion or whatever years ago? Ok, thats wonderful.
Now what I want to know is who has actually established that all
living creatures today had a common ancestor 5billion years ago and
what would this common ancestor have looked like?

If you can't tell me what this common ancestor looked like how are you
so certain that we had such a single common ancestor? You know
gentlemen I simply can't believe that seemingly intelligent people
like Dr. Wilkins who's grammar and jawdropping command of the English
language compared to my pathetic grammar can with a straight face
state that he in actuall reality believes that our great-great-
grandfather was a bug or a slimemold or banana tree or whatever. Is
there simply no limit to the fantasies you people are capable of
believing? And what came before this bug, some primordial soup. And
before that the oceans was in turmoil and before that the earth was
still hot cooling down. And before that hot lava rock covered the
earth. In other words Dr. Wilkins believes he came from a rock. I am
simply speechless.
