CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

This inane question deserved a "yes" vote, so I gave it one, and now 66.67% of the voting public think leprechauns exist.

The real question is: does it make any difference to us if they exist or not?
The answer: not really.

OK. Now that AVET has confirmed my suspicions concerning his thread, I can elaborate here.
Since people still believe in Leprechauns, that means that "Scientists" have not corrected them (because they only correct some mistakes and not others). Certainly, if "Scientists" tell people not to believe in Leprechauns, they will obey, after all. Since people do still believe, that means "Scientists" didn't correct them, which means that Science is NOT self-correcting!
Game, set, and match evos!!!

Did Leprechauns evolve from pygmies/midgets or vice-versa?OK. Now that AVET has confirmed my suspicions concerning his thread, I can elaborate here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmies
Various theories have been proposed to explain the short stature of pygmies. Some studies suggest that it could be related to adaptation to low ultraviolet light levels in rainforests.[9][10] This might mean that relatively little vitamin D can be made in human skin, thereby limiting calcium uptake from the diet for bone growth and maintenance, and leading to the evolution of the small skeletal size.[11]
Africa is thought to be the location of origin of modern humans within the past 200,000 years and the source of our dispersion across the globe within the past 100,000 years.
It may be that Pygmies are in many ways derived in their phenotypes, relatively recent adaptations to contemporary exigencies.
Over the years one issue that crops up repeatedly in human evolutionary genetics and paleoanthropology (or more precisely, the popular exposition of the topics in the media) is the idea that is that “population X are the most ancient Y.” X will always refer to a population within a larger set, Y, which is defined by relative marginalization or retention of older cultural folkways. So, for example, I have seen it said that the Andaman Islanders are the “most ancient Asian population.” Why? The standard model for a while now has been that non-Africans derive from a line of Africans which left the ancestral continent 50 to 100 thousand years ago, and began to diversify...................

I voted NO.
But I do believe they did exist at one time and were very prevalent, until the Holy Spirit ended (or severely limited) their activity.
It's a dispensation thing.
If one or two are sighted tomorrow though, it wouldn't surprise me.

There might be a few left, but they would be very old. Since there are no female Leprechauns they couldn't reproduce and have mostly died of old age. Though it should be noted that all types of fairies have a very long life span.
