Questions Evolutionists can't answer

If evolution is as true as the Bible, what is the point of horseshoe crabs?

If a tree falls in the forest with no one around to hear it, how many bees are in the back seat of my car?

 

[LyraJean]

Horseshoe crabs the original back scratcher.

They're scary and cute at the same time. I used to chase them around all the time when I was a kid unless I thought it looked like they were chasing me, if that happened I ran like heck.

It's a telson.

Their purpose is to feed off of dead things. They are the ocean's cockroaches. Everything has a purpose.

42!

 

[LyraJean]

42!

Hilarious. I'm so glad I wasn't drinking anything.

You've fallen prey to the assumption, implicit in the original question, that an organism should have a single, identifiable "point". In reality, horseshoe crabs have pointy bits sticking out all over the place.

Nu-uh, if that was true, what did they eat before the Fall, befire there was death?

Before the fall they ate strawberries, with clotted cream and a hint of Madagascar vanilla.

Their special purpose is the same as that Jerk's special purpose:

This thread is already too fun to spoil with real discussion, but it looks like that happened:

Please. Misinterpretations like that make the Bible look silly. Aside from the obvious problems (like what did gulper eels eat, or what were spider webs for), there are so many other problems with the all-vegan world idea that I don't know where to start.

Simple math might be a good place. A praying mantis lays hundreds of eggs per season. If all of those live (because there is no death), then from 1 mantis pair in year 1, you'll have:

Year: Number of Mantids:
1 2
2 200
3 20000
4 2000000
5 2E+08
6 2E+10
7 2E+12
8 2E+14
9 2E+16
10 2E+18
11 2E+20
12 2E+22
13 2E+24
14 2E+26
15 2E+28
16 2E+30
17 2E+32
18 20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (just to show what kind of numbers we have)
19 2E+36
20 2E+38

So that means that by around year 12, mantids cover the earth to the depth of 1 mile, and by year 16, the writhing mass of mantids engulfs the moon, expanding at an ever increasing speed to engulf the sun the next year and the whole solar system (including the Kuiper belt) the year after that. The mantisplosion! Things go even faster for many other insect species, because the reproduce faster.

Silly? Of course it is. Things get silly when one mistakes a metaphor for a literal statement, like having pomegranet on one's face or livestock on one's chest.

Problem? What problem? Everyone knows that gulper eels ate strawberries with clotted cream.

But not with Madagascar vanilla. Gulper eels hate vanilla.

 

[Papias]

But clotted cream is less dense than saltwater, and so it would float and thus be hard to get it to the depths where gulper eels live. Maybe they ate rocks tossed into the ocean by Eve?

Wouldn't that kill the strawberries?

 

[chilehed]

Wouldn't that kill the strawberries?

 

[shernren]

In comparison to the horseshoe crab I fear we humans are utterly pointless. Even the housecat still has her claws, and the minnow its teeth; but the closest thing to a point that humans possess are badly-trimmed nails.

how does original sin carry to animals?

I think you're just joking...but on this forum Im never quite sure

The point of them is to prove that evolution is true. If you don't think so then you are merely relying on assumptions, which means I am automatically correct and I don't actually have to listen to you.
