Every zebra is called a "zebra" by its parents, it does not have to define zebra on its own.
I don't see how this changes what Bungle said.
It means if a zebra wants to be something different to its parents, it must argue with its parents that it is not a zebra.
No zebra does that.
It is "Evolutionists" that want to keep asking "why?" - zebras are just happy that being a zebra, gives them zebra choices.
Why? Why can't it just be different?It means if a zebra wants to be something different to its parents, it must argue with its parents that it is not a zebra.
I think you're probably right, but do you have evidence to support that statement?No zebra does that.
Most humans ask "why?" Do you think being inquisitive is a bad thing? Don't you ever ask "why?"It is "Evolutionists" that want to keep asking "why?" - zebras are just happy that being a zebra, gives them zebra choices.
Some questions...
That's the issue - how many differences need to accumulate, and how much of a difference must they make for the population (herd) under consideration to be considered to be a different species (or subspecies) of zebra?8. It's still a zebra, isn't it?
That's an issue!?That's the issue -
Like Eve?No problem - it was aimed at anyone reachable
8. It's still a zebra, isn't it?
Now you're adding to your OP.If we say Generation 1 are zebras and we ask this of an animal from Generation 2, then yes.
But if we ask this regarding an animal from generation 10,382, where there have been many small changes adding up over the centuries, do you think we could still say the same thing?
Now you're adding to your OP.
What is this? make up rules as we go along?
I think I asked you this once before, but can't remember.How am I adding to the OP? I very clearly stated in point 7:
7. Do you agree that if we wait for enough generations to pass, most if not all animals in the herd will have this difference, and what was once different is now normal?I'm talking about those generations now. I'm not adding anything new.
I think I asked you this once before, but can't remember.
So I'll ask again:
What is the binomial of the zebras in Question 1, and the binomial of those animals in Question 7?
We'll just cut to the chase and quit playing games.
It's very relevant.How is that relevant?
It's very relevant.
I was saying they are still zebra.
But now you want me to interpret "enough generations to pass" as deep time, and are intimating these things are now in a whole new genus.
You need to post your mind on this and quit adding to the game as we go along.
Well, I certainly did not get it from you.Where did you get "a whole new genus" from?
Well, I certainly did not get it from you.
Maybe if you would be so kind as to give me the binomials of the zebra in Point 1, and the binomial of the animals in Point 7, we could get somewhere.
Otherwise, this is just a game of Make Up The Rules As You Go Along.
I think he's asking if the taxonomic species name (Equus grevy, Equus quagga, Equus zebra) is the same after the modifications.And again I will ask you to phrase your question without the technobabble.
