CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I caught YECs in a catch 22 about evolution that they cant escape and therefore arent addressing: they say macroevolution is wrong yet subscribe to the idea that all of the tens of millions of varieties of insect descended from some orders of magnitude fewer kinds in a few thousand years which would require evolution of a much greater rate and much more profound ability to induce change than macroevolution.

You did, huh?
And you were there all those years to observe this?
I have a feeling that if it wasn't for the Bible, you "scientists" would be catching us in a lot of "catch 22's." But God documented what He did, and believe me, no one's being caught in anything.

LOL --- believe me --- I don't --- (I really don't). I thought there were only about 5 kinds of beetles, myself.

Same way they tend to survive floods today. Hitching rides on floating objects.
Army ants are amazing at this. When they are on a march, if they hit a river, they climb a tree, chew a leaf free, and then drop into the leaf, riding the leaf until they find a way to go from it to some other object.

i already told you that there are 300 families of beetle. it's too much variation in too little time unless evolution is a lot faster and profound than we think it is.

I know you did, and I believe you.
Make it as hard as you can. In fact, make it absolutely impossible to agree with the Bible. Like I say, the darker it's made, the brighter the Light shines.
I, personally, thrive on those kinds of questions; as the more "science" makes it likely it didn't happen as documented in the Scriptures, the more goosebumps I get.

Problem is 7:21.
ALL Flesh Died.
[bible]Genesis 7:21[/bible]
Doesn't leave room for bugs to survive outside the ark.

Except this would require a queen from one hive per species to survive on a leaf for a year. Since she would be without food, and would be unable to start a new colony after the flood had subsided, this hypothesis becomes vanishingly unlikely.
Unless God snapped his fingers, of course. Which then defeats the whole point of making up these naturalistic explanations.

Again, I wasn't there. When this was first proposed (by you?), the first thing that came to my mind was what Wiccan Child said, that they survived outside of the Ark. But in view of the fact that God said, "and the creeping thing," I have to believe they died in the Flood.
[bible]Genesis 6:7[/bible]
Like I said, I wasn't there, but I know this: the Ark was three stories high. If you treat these stories as dimensions, instead of floors, you could get 500 quintillion animals aboard the Ark with 500 quintillion space left over.
