Yup.

A giraffe was a giraffe, and an elephant was an elephant.

It takes science to say a man is an ape.
Here's a tough one, though: What is a woman?

Though not a scientist, I have learned quite bit about flood geology and the geology of the Pacific Northwest from scientist that actually study those types of things. I'm aware of papers these geology scientist have written but not of any books. I've been on a number of field trips. workshops and class settings with them. When it comes to a Noah type of flood, there just is no evidence of it anywhere. Oh...by the way, I've never purchased a geology book off of amazon. And, I think your way underestimating what science has to offer in your attempt to belittle them.

FYI: The ONLY Holy book I read is the one God directly wrote with His own hands, which is nature itSelf. As such, the Earth can not lie about itSelf. We are blessed in that science has opened a window into how God creates new life forms.

Really?

Then please share with us what science says is a unicorn today?
A mythical beast. Same as always. They were just trying to help you out by suggesting the myth might be based on the sighting of a real creature like a Narwhal instead of being entirely imaginary.

Um ... because you looked in the Pacific Northwest?

Here's a popular picture of how the earth would have looked like before, during, and shortly after the Flood:



Can you find the Pacific Northwest on it?

So be sure and get that new $275.00 science book
They usually revise one chapter in those books and you can buy the old one for $5 on amazon. You can even find out what chapter they revised and borrow someones book to read that chapter. My won was in a fraternity so he was able to get his books from the library.

People ALWAYS accuse others of what they are guilty of doing. They can not deal with it in themselves so they project it out on others.

Not always. Many are too sophisticated
for such self deception and low rhetoric

Why discuss details of sometthing that did not happen?

Deuteronomy 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

It is interesting that the only animals to survive the crocodiles and Turtles can handle very wet conditions. Even they still get very big and they can live a long life.
