It's a shame something like fifty thousand people now live on those islands, destroying the natural balance of things.

ANAPSID! NO TEMPORAL OR MANDIBULAR FENESTRAE!!
They can retract their hesds back by a ventral S-bend of the neck, so it is a CRYPTODIRA, so the pelvis will not be fused to the carapace or plastron! Also note fusion of the 2 halves of mandible; small brain-case; 'horny' (keratinized protein) plates which function as teeth; emargination from posterior edge of outer skull vault, plates of carapace fused with ribs in rigid protective structure, etc.
Evolution baby!!!!

@monkeybike so...your purposefully retarding yourself...to each his own I guess. Frustrated Atheist? Frustrated that some people impose their beliefs on us? That does sound frustrating. But what I think you are calling 'frustration' is really misplaced. I don't know an Atheist that wouldn't love to enlighten a fellow human being to their full potential of curiosity, love and science.

@MrPizzapoika lol ! I think he meant proven fact.

@monkeybike wait...Proven theory?

I wish I could see what those saddle tortoises will look like in a million years. If humans (or some other phenomenon) don't mess it up, there will be tortoises two stories high eating from massive cacti.

@mmmmmarcus That drives me mad - why can't people just learn what the word 'theory' actually means in this context and give up the damned "argument"!
True. It is very frustrating for rational people to live in a world of religious people who's goal is to be detrimental to all progress (especially science)

I dont think Atheists are "angry", but rather frustrated that some people cant understand or dont want to understand that Evolution is a proven theory.
