[Serpentor]

why can't "creationists" (especially the earth is only several thousand years old kind) accept that evolution was allowed by whatever God they worship? Do they think there was really a talking serpent?

Do they think there was really a talking serpent?

Oh, yes. And Noah really got all those animals onto the ark. Even the one's that would not survive in the location from where it was launched. And the ark was large enough, and had food enough for all of them. Even though wooden ships of that size have never successfully been constructed.

Every word in the Bible is sacred. And true.

Yes. They also believe that it was possible to stick 2 of every single, solitary species on an Ark whose measurements have been mathematically proven to NOT have space to do so. Of course, it's also been mathematically proven that there isn't enough water on the planet to flood the entire planet but no sense in letting evil, godless science spoil a good fairy tale!

Yup!

 

 

Other critters as well!

 

 

NIV Numbers 22:27-30
 27.  When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat her with his staff.
 28.  Then the LORD opened the donkey's mouth, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?"
 29.  Balaam answered the donkey, "You have made a fool of me! If I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now."
 30.  The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?"   "No," he said.

Answers: I don't know - reaction to implication?

and

yes, we do, although perhaps not any serpent that had offspring that we would recognize if it bit us today.
