[Texascavers] troglobitic salamanders
I believe in most of the aspects of evolution. But it is hard to imagine any evolutionary process whatsoever linking species of the Order Caudata from the Dinaric Alps region to the Edwards Aquifer region. I also strongly disagree with the idealogy that a human soul can be reincarnated into a troglobitic creature, but that is for another discussion. It would be interesting to know that there was once a hydrologic link to the 2 aquifers 200 million years ago, but the odds of that seem absolutely impossible. It seems more probable to me that there are troglobitic species of the Order Caudata throughout the Universe in similar aquifers, and that the same exact process led to their development. Or maybe all of the Protestant Fundamentalist of east Texas are right, and that God gave The Devil immortal magical powers to create such beast on a whim just by tapping Lucifer's Pitchfork from the Satanic Brimstone Throne.
