Could be done....
I hope some day you can evolve beyond insults, obscenities, and vulgarity.

Furthermore, trilobites have an organized complexity comparable to modern day invertebrates.
When evolution occurs, the rate at which a form changes is not constant. Sometimes changes in the form occur very rapidly and sometimes they occur very slowly. Trilobites appeared when evolution "settled" on a particular form.
Who or what decides this? Is evolution some sort of supreme being that says - ok, you turn into this then stop and you are gonna be this?

You can pretty reliably tell the degree of idiocy from the avatar. If the avatar consist of some air brushed fantasmgorical image presented with religious overtones, then right off the bat he is revealing himself to be pretty high on the idiocy scale.
So every one who has a religious avatar and/or believes in deity is an idiot?
