Remember, they did not have an Ark. They had an Alk.

I didn't know that Alaska Air had a China route?

It appears to have been peer reviewed under SOP

Appearances can be deceiving. Who were the reviewers?

One parting thought, because a person is hesitant to swallow the evolution theory whole hog does not make him a whacko.

Parting shot. Repeatingly insisting that the world has always been as it is now does make one look like a whacko.

I recomend

You have spoken of the joy of learning. But apparently you did not learn when it was previously recommended that you use the installed spelling checker.

it is explicitly stated: you are limited to the Given.

the Given stipulates that you, the reader, are put in the position of being Tried as described

Since the given states that I have no memory of my life, I therefore have nothing to compare this current experience with and therefore do not immediately pass judgement. For all I know, this is the birthing process that every one of my kind must go through. (If there are indeed others of my kind.) I do find, however, that I have an innate sense that I wish to be free of the chains and wish to survive. I momentarily ponder the possibility that this isn't necessary...that it somehow doesn't seem right...why does this voice suppose it has the right to put me on trial? Who do these voices belong to? Who made this fearful machine? I once again try the chains and find them still invulnerable. I sit and think....and listen to the grinding machine......and realize that I am wasting time. If I want to survive, it appears that my only hope is finding the right message. If I make it through this ordeal, perhaps I will have time later to find out why I had to go through it.

Inherit The Wind is a Spencer Tracy movie about the Scopes' Monkey Trial of the 1920s. If I remember correctly, a school teacher was hauled into court for teaching that evolution was possible.

Actually, there was a flood. It's called the Black Sea.

Whether the Bible means there was an actual ark or whether that's metaphorical, I don't know, it doesn't say. The important part of the story isn't that, it's the second covenant God made with humanity.

What biology does ID have going for it?

Irreducible complexity. Why do you think it has been debunked?

How do mousetraps have sex?

Then according to gene squencing, the flagellum motor came before the pump which would mean that the pump (and secretory system) evolved from the motor.

First: tell me how you can determine via gene sequencing what was first.
Second: Why is it impossible that the so called motor exists without the so called pump?
Last: I'll tell me children every time they don't know the right answer to say 'GOD did it'.

Stop asking everyone if they have read the Bible. Grrrrrrrrr.....

I haven't asked everyone, just Wild Turkey and merely because I was curious as to a claim he made about the Book.

that is, perhaps, the single best answer I have yet received after several hundred uses of this dialectic.

well done.

How do you know that God did not create salmon as fresh water fish at the source of the stream to begin with?

Thank you. I took a lot of time thinking about it. I am not highly educated, but I am smart enough to know that I don't have all the answers.
