This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

So you are arguing that all life that is native to Urth is compatible _in
the sense that we are talking about_?

For instance, mollusks and vertebrates, here in this world, both have
blood. The blood of vertebrates is based upon iron: the blood of mollusks
is based upon copper. Are you saying that it is different on Urth, then?
That the two kingdoms use the same kind of blood?

If I understand you correctly, you are arguing that *this* World here does
not have a creator.
