  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Aha, part of the non existent yet assumed tree. :)

It's got a better chance of existing than your claim of 'kinds', since the fact the Hyena is included in the feliformia suborder blows your claims about kinds being made up of similar animals.

So under your definition of the word 'Kind', what 'Kind' does the Hyena fall under then?
I'm not sure, they look more like dogs, maybe a kind of their own "one of a kind", so to speak.
I would have to look it up somewhere yet to be determined... :)

So then your idea of 'kinds' is complete and utter bunk.

I think your ideas are utter bunk.

But the hyena proves your claim that 'kinds produce after kinds' is bunk, since the hyena is in the a suborder of carnivores that is also occupied by the big cats (cheetahs, leopards, etc) while it's body shape has much more akin with dogs.
And stop with the childish one-line replies. They do nothing to help your credibility.

"But hasn't evolution helped guide animal and plant breeding?
Not very much. Most improvement in crop plants and animals occurred long before we knew anything about evolution, and came about by people following the genetic principle of 'like begets like'."

Like begets like is Darwinian evolution.

Compare this to Lysenkoism that was used in former Soviet Russia. This was a form of Lamarckism where the thought that cold tolerant strains of wheat could be produced by exposing seeds to ice. If they had embraced Darwinian evolution then they would have known that this wouldn't work.

Where are you getting these quotes from? You're obviously copy and pasting them from somewhere, so just at least do something honest and tell us where you got them from.

So you're getting them from a dishonest source to begin with.
Why aren't you actually getting them from the proper sources and actually quoting them in full?
