I just thought it a strange word choice, that's all.
Wouldn't it be Henrey?
or Heenry?

Are those spellings used? I assumed that the extra E was an initial. Yes, Bgood I didn't think of that spelling, but it is used also.

Lol, how ironic.

Just pulling your leg, it's a cool name, I was wondering about the origin myself. Does it not have something to do with Chinese yeti-like mythology?
Acts 17:24-25 (NIV)
"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. [25] And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else."

Polyploidy is interesting, because it's sudden, and produces species quickly enough that humans can see it happen.
Then by definition, you have a completely different species of elephant in every single zoo in America, because due to their captivity, the elephants cannot reproduce with the any elephants outside the zoo. My goodness, I think you know you're running with this definition of species way too far.

They can't reproduce with any in the next cage, either. I think you understand the difference.

This is the definition used by scientists and by most creationists. You should know that it's O.K. to admit that new species evolve. Most creationists know this, and aren't shook by it.

Many of the "scientific creationists" admit the evolution of even higher taxa, as I've documented before.
