[From many - one.]

Sorry if I came off argumentative in my post to you. My intention was simply to provide data.

I have posted before about fungi and suchlike primarily to bolster my own statements that God was not writing a biology textbook in Genesis.

Okay. I also did not intend for that post to read quite as defensively as it did. My apologies.

No, Genesis is not a biology text. It just tells what happened. Genesis is there to tell a story, not give nuts and bolts on why the story unfolded the way that it did. You are right. Fungi don't seem to fit. But then again, "faith as small as a mustard seed" and all that.

On a side note, there are many different types of fungi that live in the ocean. The one that I mistakenly named "sea grapes"(as you said, sea grapes are indeed animals) is made up of little greenish sacks all connected to each other on a stem-like strand. I asked my marine biology teacher about them once and he told me they were a fungus, but I sadly can't remember the name.
