They have found an animal called a Rangifer that emits electromagnetic energy from its anterior nares in the 750nm range.

Creation or evolution?
Reindeer evolved from the original created life forms like everything else.

No, there were no such forms. If you want to discuss reindeer evolution you will have a bit of a challenge. The environment that they live in tends to destroy possible fossil remains. But it looks like they separated from other members of the deer family about one million years ago:

It is a very weak joke on his part. Rangifers are reindeer. 750 nanometers is red light. The nares are the nostrils or nose. He was talking about Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer. And Rudolf is as real as the creationism account is.

And Rudolf was created by Robert L. May. Copyright resides with the publishers Maxton Publishers. Hence my post, wherein in I explicitly remind AV that his nonsense, humourous and non-humourous, will only be taken seriously when he produces bona fide scientific evidence to support it, and, wherein, I anticipate his attempt to cite the works of May, or others authorised by May or Maxton Publishers, as a further extension of his attempt at humour.

Everything evolved from the original life implantation.


What exactly do you mean by that? Are you stating that there was one original life form? That is what the evidence indicates. There definitely were not deer, men, apes, and other animals initially.

Yes, like an acorn becomes a tree, created life was planted in the shallow, Precambrian seas. It contained the patters that evolved into life as we know it.

Well.... not really. The patterns weren't there. That life had DNA. The patterns evolved. So do you think that life could not have risen naturally?
