Re: What About Shellfish???

Bats are mammals, not birds.

Try taking a REAL science class.

Did you read the references? No.
Why? Because you cannot think in straight lines. God made all things and He named them and He put them in categories, each to its kind.

Your ignorance on the taxonomy of God's creatures continues to amaze me. Where were you in the Creation Science classes? Read Lev11:19 or Deu14:18. Bats have fur and suckle their young, and are birds.

Fowl don't have fur, and they don't produce milk to feed their young.
The platypus has fur and produces milk to feed its young.
Therefore, it is a mammal, not a bird.

Thank you!

You're more than welcome - for all the good it will do trying to make these guys see logic...

Re: What About Shellfish???

Nobody said anything about living in water. The point is that Leviticus 11:20 speaks about "fowls that creep, going upon all four". If that verse doesn't refer to platypuses, then what does it refer to?

Re: What About Shellfish???

How did they first emerge? The same way everything else did. Through millenia of adaptations, genetic mutations, and natural selection. Did the whole species emerge from just one or two prototypes? That would be as ridiculous as saying that all of humanity came from just two people. So the answer is no. Very slowly, they began to change, one* generation at a time. Because if so, the dinosaurs could just have eaten those two, and then they'd be fine. They came to be over generations of evolution. A reptile didn't spontaneously give birth to a mammal one day. Like I've said, over a long period of time, the species began to change to suit its needs and to adapt to its environment, and this happened through the generations. Or are you claiming all the fishes just turned into Megazostrodons at once? Their ancestors weren't fish, they were reptiles. And evolution doesn't happen "all at once", like your creationism fairytale. And if they're called Megazostrodons, why weren't they bigger?

How should I know? I didn't name the little bastards!

*: Not literally one generation at a time.

I'm sure a fair bit were eaten by dinosaurs, however, they multiplied so fast it would've been pretty difficult to eat the entire species.

Why didn't the dinosaurs just eat it then? Your theories just don't add up.

Re: What About Shellfish???

*Rolls her eyes* You silly creationists. Your Biblical heros, the Deceptacons, aren't real. The Megazostrodon was the first mammal on this planet, and it lived alongside the dinosaurs. It was a mouse-like creature and probably evolved into other mouse-like creatures. Maybe even, can it be?, mice!

Re: What About Shellfish???

You secularists're not even trying to sound plausible anymore. Let me guess, the Megazostrodon evolved into a human so it could battle the deceptacons better?

Well, while mammalian life evolved from the very first mammal, the Megazostrodon...

If that verse doesn't refer to platypuses, then what does it refer to? A bird with four feet*? I don't know, but I do know it's not talking about platypuses, because they aren't birds.

Beavers are not unclean. As I've pointed out before, beaver juice has been valued for centuries for making medicine.

That's gross.

Re: What About Shellfish???

Just because somethings creeps up on all fours doesn't make it a fowl. Is a beaver a fowl, for it too lives in the water and crawls on all fours?

Re: What About Shellfish???

So if the platypus isn't a fowl, how do you explain Leviticus 11:20? (I knew you weren't paying attention)
