Don't be too sure what you believe in. Satan is the great deceiver.

hence "river horse" Also, possibly: some ancient Greek trying to describe a rhinoceros to someone who'd never seen one described it as "a 'river horse' with a horn." (Greeks knew about hippos through trade with Egypt.) Later, somebody who didn't know what a hippo was dropped the 'river' part as unimportant and so we ended up with 'a horse with a horn', hence "unicorn."

Actually they don't biologically. Sharks skeletal structure is all cartilage. Lions have the typical boney skeleton.
Really, you should avoid trying to make jokes about biology until you learn something about biology.

I wonder how many millions of years it took dogs to evolve the ability to be able to lick their own balls. I think the evolution of butt sniffing among dogs needs to be fully funded and researched. Did they just sniff noses for thousands of years and gradually work their way down or was it prompted by a catastrophic event. Maybe there was once a mutant line of butt sniffing dogs.

You've got to publish all your stuff in book form. I'd love to go through it all, but I can only sit at the computer for so long before my eyes go blurry... Talk about an embarrassment of riches!!
To: Ichneumon
Tell Mamzelle to follow the money at DI, AIG, or ICR.
That is were the scam is.

Cartliage, bones, fur, legs, what's it matter, the evolutionary process can change it all.

Don't be jealous of dogs.

Is ole Bessie about to heave forth with dorsals, too? Hanker for plankton instead of alfalfa?

they must have been in hiding wating for armor, wings, poison glands or whatever to develop. Why couldn't God, whom I believe created all life and sent His Son to be a sacrifice for human sin, have had His hand in the development of these animals' "armor, wings, poison glands, or whatever" over a long period of time?
Why would God create all these fossils and bones which look like a hybrid of a whale and hippo? Do you really think God is just trying to confuse us by putting all these dinosaur bones and evolutionary type evidence where we can find it?
Do you think God is up there right now having a good laugh at us stupid humans who are analyzing these fossile bones. Did he simply play a big joke by putting this evidence here?
I say He didn't, and that it is entirely possible God created some life through the evolutionary process. Why is that so hard to see?

I am not going to give you lessons in biology unless you are willing to pay me. Go study on your own. I am not your research assistant.
OK. You support the idea that hippos and whales were once one in the same. You also support the idea that we (humans) are related to just about every living thing imaginable. You then say that a species can not make a dramatic change into a completely different species over time.
I submit to you that it's impossible to go from tree or fish or snail to bird or carrot or bear unless it's possible for a species to make a dramatic change into a completely different species over time.It just stands to reason friend.
I don't want to argue this at length. I don't subscribe to your idea and you don't subscribe to mine. We're even.

You have been doing it yourself with your mocking. Look to the log in your own eye.

I know, just an evolutionary jaunt away from the canine linage and I'd be able to lick my own balls! DAMN!
Okay, gotta go take my duck for a walk on the lake now.

"I am just amazed at how evolutionists first tell us Whales came from hippos, now they tell us hippos came from whales!!"
Try reading for comprehension. Look at the chart. Whales and hippos came from a common ancestor. They have found several that link to the modern forms on separate branches of the line from the common ancestor.

There's a log in my eye? I think not, I mean I would know if I had a remnant of a deceased distant relative in my eye.

"I say He didn't, and that it is entirely possible God created some life through the evolutionary process. Why is that so hard to see?"
Because conmen like Ken Ham and Henry Morris have convinced a bunch of hick pastors that their misinterpretation of Scripture is correct. These hick pastors then pass this nonsense down to their followers who trust them. It is sad.
