Missing link was a lie

[Frumious Bandersnatch]

Prove me wrong -- show me this thing, and show me this thing as it matches its drawing.

I have seen reference to several fossils of thrinaxodon but I am not sure how complete all of there are. There are a lot of fossils of mammal like reptiles in museum collections and some of them are nearly complete. As I said I have seen some of them myself. You could look at this paper for example
The Skeleton of a Baurioid Therocephalian Therapsid from the Lower Triassic (Lystrosaurus Zone) of South Africa, by T. S. Kemp Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology © 1986 The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. which describes a virtually complete skeleton of a therapsid mammal like reptile.

You can't really see the skeleton on specimen shown on the Wiki page

So why not take a gal with him? Maybe he even had one or two at the time he was banished?

Well, we know Lamech had two wives, eh?

Ge 4:19 ¶ And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

By the way, why would the fall be one year after creation? Why not a month, or 5 years, etc?

I don't know -- I'd venture to say that one year is pure speculation.

Rapid population, unrestricted by present genetic realities was the obvious order of the day.

just say it. Incest.

Nope. Adam knew his wife. That is bible lingo for the wild thing.

It was a different state so things where obviously different then.

OK, so we can assume there was some time involved. How long would it take a few people to get over to the land of Nod? A month? So, either there were people who had already headed to Nod, or Cain took someone with him. Where else would they come from?

Right, there was no incest. That is to say, it was not yet a bad thing. So there was no crime in what would now be incest.

 

[AV1611VET]

Nope -- incest is a crime -- and there was no law against close marriages at the time.

Ro 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

Ro 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Close marriages were okay back then because of the purity of the gene pool; but when the gene pool decayed to a certain point, God stepped in and prohibited it.

This seemed topical..

 

[Orogeny]

Define 'rate of evolution'.

 

[dad]

Define 'rate of evolution'.

The speed at which changes took place?

 

[BananaSlug]

Notice that's a drawing?

Meaning that parts have probably been filled in.

And we worship a 'god of the gaps'?

Haeckel's spirit lives on, doesn't it?

Probably all they have on this thing is a tooth or something.

There is a lot more where this came from.

So could scientists Haeckel this thing in, based on finding only its skull?

It's a platypus. Probably Obdurodon. Straw man attempt failed.

Just like God didn't supposedly 'murder' babies during the flood, he 'merely' killed them, right?

Check this doosey out, bro: 13.

Right after he accused some paper of lying, he tried it on me and got bit.

I never accused any "paper" of lying.... what are you referring to??

You just repeated the same nonsense that synchronization got eroded, without explaining what that means or how it happened, or even providing any evidence that it did. In other words, You Made It All Up! Who got "bit?" Go ahead and declare unilateral victory again, as you "pwnd" us and have us all "for breakfast" in your own self-deluded (thanks to Doveaman for that) mind.

What kind of changes? DNA changes? How are you measuring those? Morphological changes? How are those measured?

 

[dad]

Proof? Can you prove that men were still going with the opposite sex, and having babies that they did not kill? If a man lived 980 years, and the world got too wicked to have kids say a hundred years before that, or 2, where are the kids coming from? I don't know. You seem to?

To measure a change in a dead creature, there are only so many options..no? Apparently they look at a few creatures that are similar, and assume that changes happened. Why, have you some insight on this aspect of how we determine stuff, to share?? Let's see it.

Oh pleeeeeze. You have got to be kidding.... are you really going to claim that people stopped having children before The Flood??? Really? If that were the case, dad, why would God even need to flood the planet? The sinners would have rendered themselves extinct without his help! The ridiculous extremes and twisted pathways you will go through to hold onto your bizzare and incorrect interpretation of scripture know no bounds.

So, wicked men stopped raping two hundred years or so prior or did the wickedness also lead them all to abortions? I don't know. You seem to?

So, in other words, you don't know and you're just quoting this because you think it sounds like something supporting your point (whatever that may be). Yep. Sounds about right.

It was not I that made a claim. I asked a question about someone else's claim. They claimed there were kids. How would he know? If wicked men killed babies, or sacrificed them, or just didn't have any in the advanced wickedness stage, why would that surprise me? They are heading that way now. Too selfish to have kids, and they kill the ones they do get, some of em. Millions of em, actually. Hundreds of millions actually. So, why would God need to end it? Well, who says that they could not have had kids at some point, if there was some reason? Or, if they were abusing the ones they did get, and killing them, maybe He had enough? How would I know? I just like to point out that some people don't know what they are talking about. You know, call those that accuse God to task.

How would you know they did abortions then? Proof? Wicked men raping need not involve babies, if the papers today are any indication.
There are many reasons that people may not have had kids. It is also possible that there was abuse, and murder of any kids that did come. Also, same sex arrangements are a sign of advanced wickedness. That does produce kids. So...how you gonna back up your charges against the Almighty??
