I changed my stance on that.

I don't believe that anymore.

I believe they were on the Ark, but not that they got off and gave birth to different species of animals.

My question would be, how on God's green earth could you believe in that in the first place? I've read the bible from cover to cover, and I don't recall no unicorn

Numbers 23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.

Numbers 24:8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

Deuteronomy 33:17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

Job 39:9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
Job 39:10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

Psalm 29:6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

Psalm 92:10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

My TARDIS booth explanation.

If I remember correctly, I was discussing with someone why there were so many thousands upon thousands of different animals on the planet (different genera, not species), and I speculated that maybe the unicorn or satyr was an animal whose responsibility was to repopulate the Earth by giving birth to different genera.

Get pregnant, have a cow; get pregnant again, have a horse; get pregnant again, have a giraffe; and so on.

But I really wasn't comfortable with it.

There's a goofy site that has me "apparently believing" the following; and I want to set the record straight here:

1. At one point everyone in the world spoke English.

This is correct.

"Þa wæs Hroðgare heresped gyfen, wiges weorðmynd, þæt him his winemagas georne hyrdon, oðð þæt seo geogod geweox, magodriht micel. Him on mod be-arn"

A thousand years ago, even the English didn't speak English.

Bumped to show changes in red.

So you still think that if the Bible says something that is different to what real life shows, then you'd go with the Bible?

What if the Bible said that you lived in Antarctica and you were a penguin?

Congratulations. World fame is something most people can only dream of.

But watch it. Your throne might be taken by I'm_sorry, once people cotton on to the fact that there are flat earthers around.

You'll have to ask AV about that.
He didn't suggest it
You did

And the suggestion is very very silly

GOD doesn't....recycle souls
And penguins have no need for salvation

They do naturally what they were naturally designed to do

It's GOD's greatest creature that requires mercy and grace
Because it's GOD's greatest creature that doesn't do what he was naturally designed to do all the time...naturally

Affirmative.

The Bible wouldn't say that.

You evidently haven't been reading the KJV. Apparently the translators in 1611 were unsure how to translate the Hebrew word.

There's a goofy site that has me "apparently believing" the following; and I want to set the record straight here:

I'd like to thank you for having the bravery to post such criticisms. Few people can be self-reflective nor respond to critics appropriately.

When I feel the need to take time away from this site, and I do, I know that when I do come back now and then you'll be here, still writing millions of, seemingly on the surface, posts of utter insanity.

But it's a good kind of insanity so you keep doing what you're doing.

When I say you post insanity, what I mean is, it's more like you're that uncle that comes over for the holidays and sort of just goes off on a topic, not in a bad way, just with a uniquely singular opinion which is not what anyone else is saying.

Love ya.

Not to gush like a fan boy, but I can honestly say I look forward to your posts, and giggle with delight every time I see you've started a new thread, as I know there will be a plethora of delicious replies.

Keep being you.
