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?

Let me guess,...he'll start walking like one?

You might just as well ask a biologist if he would dismiss Darwin, as having been a charlatan, if he had said that a donkey gave birth to a fish. The short answer is that he didn't say that, so the question doesn't arise.

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

Wow, I really think you missed my point.

On the origins of the unicorn according to the gospel of AV
Didn't we just have the following conversation?
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.
So what made you change your mind?
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.
Finally! there is a limit to Goddidit! lolz
What made you go drag that old post out?

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.

2. That the mention of unicorns, dragons and behemoths in the Bible poses a problem for evolution.

It poses a problem for evolutionists.

3. Cratering was the result of a battle between angels and demons.

This is correct.

4. Unicorns were aboard Noah's ark and gave birth to different species of animals.

I no longer believe this.

5. Leprechauns exist as a manifestation of demons.

This is correct.

6. The Earth was the first planet in existence.

This is correct.

7. Peer reviewed articles on evolution should be disregarded because they weren't reviewed by Jesus.

I don't know where this comes from.

8. Human beings are not Homo sapiens.

This is correct.

9. Nero persecuted Christians for reversing the Earth's poles.

That was a joke; as was my Noah's Ark being a submarine thread.

10. Pangaea was actually Eden.

This is correct.

11. The three main rock types are "indigenous, megamorphic, and sentimental."

That was a joke.

12. Noah lived in present-day New Jersey.

This is correct.

13. That the dictionary is wrong in defining Christianity as a religion.

It is both a religion and a relationship.

14. Religious wars never occurred.

I don't remember saying that.

15. "Evolution teaches a monkey gave birth to the first human."

This is correct.

16. Atheism is a polytheistic religion.

This is correct.

17. Strong's Concordance is "a tool of Satan."

This is correct.

18. People should be proud of their own ignorance.

This is correct.

19. Science is unreliable because of new discoveries.

This is correct.

20. Anything that contradicts the Bible is wrong by default, including real life.

This is correct.
Oh, Christianity is both a religion and a relationship.

Science is unreliable in explaining God.

I know I've explained to you that science can't explain God, and no scientist would try.

It's like saying that a riding lawn mower is unreliable for a trip to the North Pole.

If its a big enough mower it might work.

How is agreeing with 14 out of twenty setting the record straight?
