What I don't get is that 343 GS said that the Halos were activated around 100,000 years ago. Well did anyone else think about it. If halo kills all sentient life (keeping in mind I dont know the "definition" of sentient life) there isn't enough time for evolution. Evolution takes millions of years. If halo killed everything that could sustain the flood which I think is pretty much any large complex organism, it would take millions if not billions of years for life to evolve back into large complex organisms that could sustain the flood.
This makes me think that life was sheltered when the halos went off (Ghosts of Onyx, I know). But if life was sheltered, it had to be sheltered for the grunts, drones, jackals, elites, brutes, hunters, prophets, humans and all the species we haven't seen yet. Unless the Forerunners built a bunch of these shield worlds, (like the one in GoO) I don't see how all these complex organisms could have evolved in such a short time period of 100,000 years.
