Why is this thread in the Physical and Life science forum?
Because I thought people would complain if I put it in Creation & Evolution.

Do you treat your spouse like an animal?

Well, I don't stick her in the dirt and fertilize the dirt and add water to the dirt to look after her. Instead, I make sure she has edible nutritious feed consistent with her primate heirtage. As her mate, we share that task.

Thanks for the QED.

Maybe you wont get complaints if you actually posted things that are relevant to the chosen subforum instead of stupid "challenge" threads that contain no science or indeed any meaningful content at all.

You're the only one moaning about it.

Why do you think I call it a "challenge"?
Because you have problems grasping that a word can have different meaning in expert language and colloquial language.
IOW the facts pose a challenge to you, and you´d prefer it to be a challenge to everybody else.

I have to admit there are times when I treat my spouse (meaning married partner) like an animal.
When her head is in my way and I can't see the TV; duck.
When I sneak up behind her and pinch her [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]; goose.
When she rolls over and takes all the blankets; hog.
When I want her to do something for me; deer.
When she falls for one of my pranks; sucker (that's a fish, by the way).
When she says no to zip-lining; chicken.
When she tells people my age; rat.
When she gets out of the tub; bear.
When she beats me at cards; cheetah.

You mean like thinking this ...

Joshua 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

... speaks of geocentrism?

And I'm the one with problems?
