I did not even imply that I might be better than a maple tree. I am just delighted to have discovered we are related!Come on, you can't see that AlGore is the missing link?

OK. It's a radger. Or a baccoon. Knowing your fondness for muling around, I figure it's gotta be a combo.

Indeed, the
Moon's core is not solid, and that is why it is tidally-locked. Good for you. However, your original statement:
The swinging weight of a molten moon core would either have sent the moon flinging off into space or would have sent it crashing to earth.
Is still not accurate. Several Jovian and Saturnian moons have molten cores (hence, vulcanism) and they have neither been sent "flinging off into space" or crashing into their primaries.

Oh, and you won't. When you don't define your terms, they can mean anything.
To: houeto
Google the name. He's quite famous.

Nope. It's not a hybrid. It's a stand-alone species.
What "kind" do you think it would fit into?

However, your original statement:No. I think his original statement had something to do with he could not understand why the moon didn't spin and now he has cut and paste from the site that I paraphrased my response to him from. He does know how to google.

Is this on the level? I don't know what it is-- I am no zoologist, but it has the look of a swamp predator like a badger or something marsupial-- I wouldn't want to antagonize it

No cheating now!

What is your story. You who posts: BWAAA HAAA HAAA HAAAA! I pointed out the irony of a pompous know-it-all insisting on people checking facts and referring to his posted list as his proof, when the first 2 links I clicked on in his list led to nowhere. Not only had the links expired, they have been expired for over 4 years. Also, I have made no attempt to convert anyone to any position in this thread, nor have I posted supposed facts supporting either position. Nor have I claimed to be polite. You still haven't answered why you find it so compelling to convince people of your position. Why do you care so deeply about what other people choose to believe?
To: Ichneumon
So you do believe that God created you. That is all I wanted to know.

There have been several observed speciations in Drosophila

It would help immensely if creationists would actually search for the actual source of their quotes instead of lifting them verbatim from some creationist website.Yes. I saw Gould quoted earlier and thought the same thing.
"Since we proposed punctuated equilibria to explain trends, it is infuriating to be quoted again and again by creationists -- whether through design or stupidity, I do not know -- as admitting that the fossil record includes no transitional forms. Transitional forms are generally lacking at the species level, but they are abundant between larger groups. Yet a pamphlet entitled 'Harvard Scientists Agree Evolution Is a Hoax' states: 'The facts of punctuated equilibrium which Gould and Eldredge...are forcing Darwinists to swallow fit the picture that Bryan insisted on, and which God has revealed to us in the Bible.'" -- Stephen Jay Gould

That one was kind of difficult, so here's another.
Which "kind" is this? What's his nearest cousin?

As he said earlier, you had better check your computer or ISP. I just validated that his first three links and all those I checked (4) up to about #20 worked.

Several Jovian and Saturnian moons have molten cores (hence, vulcanism) and they have neither been sent "flinging off into space" or crashing into their primaries.That is why I think that an electromagnetic influence is underway. Gravity would not hold the moons in place.
