Madagascar

[ardipithecus]

Why are lemurs only found in Madagascar? And how did they get there?

 

[seebs]

To save everyone the time:

"Goddidit."

*sigh*.

Why are lemurs only found in Madagascar?

Because that's where scientists stopped looking?

And how did they get there?

They were birthed there by their 'kind'.

The sad but true implication being that scientists are the only ones looking. You are basically sitting in your armchair telling others to work harder.

Nice one

A mystery.

This one must upset the militant atheists/evolutionists who think everything has already been answered or solved.

It's sad when animals cannot congregate in one area without the inquisition wanting to know why.

(Assuming of course, that they aren't elsewhere as well; but haven't shown up on radar yet.)

I think you'd have to ask God that question...

And how did they get there?

One likely hypothesis:

"... Directed Panspermia, the theory that organisms were deliberately transmitted to the earth by intelligent beings on another planet." -- Francis H.C. Crick, molecular biologist, and Leslie E. Orgel, biologist, 1972

Crick, F.H.C., and Orgel, L.E., Directed Panspermia, Icarus, Volume 19, Pages 341-346, 1973

Oh Francis, you discovered the structure of DNA, and then went off the deep end. I saw him give a lecture on the early intron hypothesis. So sad.

You are confusing us with you. That's really weird. Us militant atheist/evolutionists are more than happy to admit there is a whole bunch of stuff we don't know.

Quote the evolutionist who has said that we have an answer for everything.

Unless someone posts a Bible verse, right?

Then, all of a sudden, you guys acquire a lot of knowledge -- fast.

It's interesting how quickly the Word of God can waken someone out of a self-imposed nescience, isn't it?

Apparently they may have been in the area when the fast continental separation happened. ? Look at what so called science claims..


" Lemurs arrived in Madagascar around 62 to 65 mya by rafting on mats of vegetation at a time when ocean currents favored oceanic dispersal to the island."

That is true humor....

Your apple challenge needs resurrecting more than this thread

Don't need to. The definition of materialism dictates the view that reality exists only in a state of matter from which all phenomena was derived.

This may partly explain a few things.

Perhaps it would if there actually is such a person.

But he would be so upset by so many other things already that he probably would not even notice this small additional problem. Also, he most likely would be medicated and institutionalized, and possibly kept away from sources of new distress as much as possible.

Well when someone posts something certifiably wrong like "2+2=3" yes, expect people to speak up.

 

[TerranceL]

Don't need to.

That was what I thought, another creationist flat out making things up.

How about 1+1+1=1?

 

[Gracchus]

How about 1+1+1=1?

Well, in modulo 2 arithmetic, 1 + 1 = 0, and 0 + 1 = 1, so 1 + 1 + 1 = 1. Of course it is customary to specify when using anything other than modulo (eta: sic! That should be "base") 10 arithmetic.
