Try some science next time. It behooves you to try it on a scientific argument, not some doublespeak drivel about ears on snakes.

Now you are saying snakes and mammals are the same.

Please...go to church, pray all you want....I think its wonderful... but keep it out of science. It has no place there.

I did not say snakes and mammals are the same. (And only your camp thinks they share common ancestry.)

The article you attacked has explanatory power for a long list of things. You put forward an example which you claim has one and only one possible explanation. Then you have the audacity to say anyone who disagrees is unscientific. No known science functions this way.

One can argue that small ears COULD be an adaptive feature to help protect against cold. I did not say that is bad logic, or that it cannot be the case. The problem is that it is only ONE POSSIBLE explanation, and you put it forward as a death blow to the arguments made by the article.
