Yeah but according to biblical rhetoric, wouldn’t the duck and beaver have been struck down by god for having inter-species relations? You cant just be going around "knowing" everyone. Ducks and beavers are not exempt!

(_E=MC2_)

and the venomous spurs came from???

a cowboy rattlesnake??

did you here the one about the duck and the beaver and the cowboy rattlesnake?


hmmm?

Creationists believe that the world was formed and made about 4000 bc. Jericho has recorded history back to about 9000 BC. I asked any creationists to explain it. I'm lacking a response.

It has been discovered that venom is created as a result of what the animal eats. A poison dart frog taken from its natural environment and put into an aquarium will loose its poison because the food it is used to eating is no longer available.

The poison developed by the platypus was a result of its diet.

Oh yeah. I think Belushi got into that with them also. They just don’t believe it and think that radio carbon 14 dating is so totally inaccurate and unreliable that it never can be trusted under any circumstances. As far as I understood it, they did not ONLY use carbon dating but that was one tool. I just don’t know how they continue to delude themselves. Some of them believe that the Earth only goes back as far as the first Dynasty of Egypt or in that vicinity. What about pre-dynastic Egypt? What about Crete? The Neolithic? It’s insane.

and the "spurs emerged because why? -

ok - I'm going to start a new post called - "

"NOAH'S ARK - WTF??

let's see if they can tear that one apart

Yeah Noah's Ark is just crazy. How big was that ark supposed to be and did it have two of every animal on earth aboard? What about mules, ligers and tigons? What about animals that were bred later? Selective and captive breeding programs? What about insects and bacteria? Did they have that on board? What about animals from the sea? How can you have them on a boat?

Yes, maybe but does Deb believe what she wrote, or is it just a plagerized definiation? One never knows. Her notes look an awful lot like the URL she "reads" them from.

ahhh...miss me?

I am glad you have all been having so much fun.





so, God said, "Can I get a witness?"

and anyone of many that have been asked that question in the privaacy of their heart have said, "yes, I am here."

So, it is.

that is how it works.

Testosterone. Since only males produce venom and production rises during the breeding season, it is theorised that it is used as an offensive weapon to assert dominance during this breeding period.

Venom is produced in the crural glands of the male, which are kidney-shaped alveolar glands connected by a thin-walled duct to a calcaneus spur on each hind limb.

The female Platypus, in common with echidnas, has rudimentary spur buds which do not develop (dropping off before the end of their first year) and lack functional crural glands.[

All new species adapt in their first few hundred years of evolution and this adaptation can occur rather rapidly.

Sound good? I practically believe it myself.

I am so glad I brought up that ugly not-duck. I have learned so very much :D

What you are referring too is prehistory, before man kind developed a social living structure. Writing, drawing, building, etc were not invented yet. What history do you expect to find? Our history only resides in the records of the past that we keep. If you have no means to keep them then their are none. There are plenty of points in history where the civilization has collapsed and much of the advancements they have made are lost forever.

Chazster, according to the OP, the earth is only 6000 years old and man popped into existence fully communication ready.

Thats exactly why religious text is not supposed to be taken literally. You never know what was added/deleted/mistranslated all those years ago.

(_wise_)

This is the most sane, logical statement thus far I do believe. Bravo! Yaaa!

it's one you'll find quite common if you read many of the past threads over the last 6 months or so -

Oh no doubt. I’m sure always the "new person" coming on and glancing at the religion forum in utter disbelief. The new "non Christian" I should say. Hell, probably a lot of Christians feel that way.
