i am not loking for arguments just good discusion that ends with I am right and you are wrong. (heh heh).

Animals of different species can breed, arch

'species' is a sub-group of 'kind' no surprises there. hybrids conceived outside of 'kind' are sterile. but gain you don't post the whole story, just enough to mis-lead.

IF you want to be mis-lead...read your bible.

Well - when I say argument I really mean debate. I can see you and I have very different views so I'm sure we will debate quite a bit!

Here's my viewpoint, for whatever it's worth.

The Bible, Koran, Bhagavad Gita, Ovid's Metamorphoses, etc etc are all the same in that they are mythologies, a set of stories intended to illustrate somebody's idea of what is divine. I don't think the Bible is any better or any worse than the Viking stories of Thor and Odin. It's just an attempt by a non-scientific society and priesthood to explain the world.

Some stories may be grounded in some grain of truth, but that doesn't make any of them history.

That's it.

Good discussions and humour. I really like it here!

John is right,

No apologies and no prisoners...and I'll have no hair left from being pulled out in frustration, but I hear the bald look is in this year

depends. i would reccommend reading the current biblical arch., noah's flood, the exodus decoded and intelligent design threads before venturing too much further

It's just an attempt by a non-scientific society and priesthood to explain the world.

that is assuming that the secular scientists have the authority to place restrictions upon a field they do not own and that their definition of what science is is correct. (which they don't and aren't.)

The Bible is not myth so let's not go there.

i didn't get mine.
