THOUGHTS: Creationism and VN

Dear Jansy,
I think Russian in this sense is closer to Portuguese: most common is
the word "obesyany" which covers both apes and monkeys.
And Grigory: your quotation seems to me unconclusive, because
the adjective "monstrous" may be a sign of sarcasm w. r. t.
evolution theory. By the way, between creationism and evolution theory
in its "extreme" form (random changes produce evolution) there is a whole
lot of intermediate theories, assuming some form of "local" creativity
and/or nomogenesis. (No "global plan" of creation, but many "local" laws
and symmetries.) Curiously, the proponents of these theores
often were lepidopterists themselves (Shvanvitch in Russia - I am not
sure what is the correct spelling) or used lepidoptera as examples.
I mentioned once at this list the academician L. Berg, and another Russian
anti-evolutionist, Lubishev.
Best regards,
Sergei
