No offense intended, but you need to get your facts straight. Earthworms have been around for millions of years. They had to be. For as long as plant life has existed on land, earthworms had to be around. When a plant dies, what happens to the matter? Bacteria helps it rot, but it takes earthworms to reintroduce that matter into the soil, in the form of nutrients. Earthworms also churn up the topsoil, which is vital for plants to thrive.

Now, do explain why the earthworms were killed off in the last ice age? If earthworms were that vulnerable to cold, how could they survive winters today? Up here in central Alberta, winter temperatures can dip to -40 degrees. I assure you, we do indeed have earthworms around here, and they do indeed survive the winter.

According to the World Book Encyclopedia, invertabrates, such as earthworms, have been around for 480 million years, whereas plants appeared on land 425 million years ago. You can draw the conclusion from this that earthworms didn't need plants to survive, but plants needed earthworms to thrive. Now, working from this conclusion, it would have been impossible for Europeans to have reintroduced earthworms to North America. If there were no earthworms, there wouldn't have been plants in North America, and therefore, no higher forms of animals. North America would have been barren. History most certainly shows that this wasn't the case.

I've done my research on this.
