Which came first? plants or animals?

[variant]

Doesn't the Bible hurt my cause, according to you guys?

You know ... geocentrism, genocide, incest, flat earth, burn witches, etc.?

How can I top those?

By making the people who believe in it look foolish.

Hi there.

So I got to thinking. If abiogenesis kick-started life on this planet, which did it kick-start first? plants or animals?

If it kick-started plants, are we plants?

If it kick-started animals, are plants animals?

How then did plants transition to animals, or animals transition to plants?

Maybe there were two abiogeneses: one for plants and one for animals?

Thoughts?

Neither. Bacteria and protists were here long before either animals or plants. Keep thinking.

Why no talk about fungi?

Why no talk about fungi?

Because fungi came after protists

No, the Bible is irrelevant to your cause, regardless of the many flaws that it has.

And you forgot that it supports slavery in both the Old and New testaments.

That too is irrelevant.

What do you mean "that too is irrelevant"?

Am I a hypocrite for not having slaves?

No, bible never says you have to own them.

 

[AV1611VET]

Then variant's question can take a hike.

 

[PsychoSarah]

Than variant's question can take a hike.

I guess so.

No, users of your book are hypocritical when they claim it has a a superior morality.

Translation, AV has nothing and admits defeat.

 

[AV1611VET]

No, your book is hypocritical when it claims a superior morality.

And I buy into those superior morals.

So am I hypocrite for not owning slaves?

YES or NO?

Let's see you walk your talk.

Hahahaha they aren't like that. A Venus flytrap wouldn't want to eat you even if it could (the plants are tiny, the traps rarely exceed 2 inches in diameter even in the biggest varieties) and people don't have the kind of nutrient balance they like (if the fact they can't tolerate beef has anything to say, anyways). Even if you stuck your finger in a trap, and it closed, it still wouldn't be able to digest you, because the plants have a mechanism that rejects non food items or when stuff is too big for them to close all the way. In fact, no carnivorous plant is big enough to harm a person, even if they were willing to sit there with part of their bodies on or in a trap for the week or two it takes for them to digest stuff. Your fear of them amuses me. There are plenty of plants you should be wary of, but not carnivorous plants.

I had a Venus Flytrap once. I fed it a fly and it tried to digest it but the lump of the fly's body in the trap never dissolved and the plant died after a few weeks.

Maybe they only eat Venus flies?

No, you are a hypocrite for believing that the Bible has such morals.

And please stop using false dichotomies.

That shows low morals too since it is a form of dishonesty.

 

[PsychoSarah]

Nah, he might of fed it something too big. If it doesn't close all the way, but it doesn't open up within a day like it should, it puts the plant in danger of deadly infection. That, or perhaps one didn't realize that when they digest stuff it leaves behind a husk, and just left it in the trap to fester?

It shouldn't have been in the trap that long, they leave behind the exoskeleton and only digest the soft insides. You leaving it in there would have given the plant a deadly fungal infection. It died because you didn't look up how to properly care for them first -_-

How do they get rid of the exoskeleton in the "wild"?

That's gross!

Rain and wind flush the traps regularly. That can't happen so much indoors, so you have to either blow the husk out yourself or use tweezers to pluck it out.
