That the stories were changed as they were passed down for centuries before writing, and even after writing, is "the imperfect copying mechanism" that evolution requires.

That doesn't seem quite right....

As species evolve they generally replace the species they evolved from. Right? (Yes, there are exceptions)

To wit, Lucy's crew is as dead and gone as Lucy. May they rest in everlasting peace. That's evolution.

On the other and, all the various vintages of theological novels that caused mayhem and death when they schismed are still around causing mayhem and death.

It was thus when the Sunni & Shits had their schism. Both flavors of barbarianism continue the fight. Same deal with the 2100 flavors of xtianity.
