True. The rich are the movers and shakers of the economy. We should appreciate that more than we do.

I've ignored Trump for 20 years.
But, I am always amazed when I look around at all
the benefits we get caused by wealth accumulation.
I look at 10 bricks in a building and think about the
effort to make those bricks, transport them there
then stack them and create just 5 feet, in one layer,
of one building.
I could pay for the replacement of some of those
bricks, but I don't have it on me today.
I can't think of any creatures that walk on fins on land.Are you saying that elephants really do have direct bone-to-bone connections to their axial skeleton? DO TELL, Mr.Vertebrate Anatomy expert! Do tell!
Mudskippers are an obvious example.I can't think of any creatures that walk on fins on land.
I wish I owned some commercial property.True. The rich are the movers and shakers of the economy. We should appreciate that more than we do.
'Bible Research Tools' was kind enough to supply me with another example of professional creationists spreading lies (or exhibiting gross incompetence... or engaging in purposeful deception...) to their under-informed target audience when he linked to this essay:
It’s all talk,Tiktaalik can’t walk
by one Warren Nunn, a 'newspaper journalist.'
In it, we see a reference to another essay, in which we see:
"In 2006, Dr Jonathan Sarfati considered the evidence and pointed out that Tiktaalik’s fin was not connected to the main skeleton, so could not have supported its weight on land."
Jon Sarfati - chemist - yakking about fossils and physiology. Hilarious! He, too makes the same erroneous claim Menton did - thinking that there must be a bone-to-bone articulation between the 'fin' and the 'main skeleton' in order for something to walk on land.
This will be news to elephants. And bison. And tigers. And so on. All of whom lack such a connection, yet seem to be doing OK.
It will be a great day when professional creationists stop employing the fallacious argumentum ad verecundiam* to awe their uninformed target audience into believing whatever nonsense they are peddling.
*most interesting as Sarfati is famous for lambasting non-creationists for speaking/writing outside of their specific area of expertise...
I wish I owned some commercial property.
When was the last time you spotted one?Mudskippers are an obvious example.

If these marvels are missing links
then why are they not worshipped?

Is this your way of agreeing that Sarfati and Menton were dishonest/incompetent/deceptive in their claims that Tiktaalik could not have 'walked on land'?The front legs (shoulders) of most mammals don't have a "bone-to-bone" connection. I'm not sure about creatures such as Tiktaalik.
Remind me - did JFK claim to be the best at everything? Did JFK dodge the draft? Did JFK praise Kruschev while blaming American intelligence services for the bad blood between us and the USSR?Powerful, rich, charismatic people (including women) do that. JFK makes Trump look like an amateur. Remember him? He is still revered today in spite of his philandering and adulterous history.
No religious sources can be trusted - look at that moron Jeffress.Few secular information sources could pass that test. We are bombarded with false information every moment of every day. Thankfully most have a "BS" filter else we would all be like "Stepford Wives" gobbling up everything some talking head tries to feed us.
Wow...True. The rich are the movers and shakers of the economy. We should appreciate that more than we do.

Dodging the question to protect YEC fibbers. Got it.I can't think of any creatures that walk on fins on land.
So you're cool with professional Christian creationists lying/deceiving/being foolish as long as they do so for The Cause.Just rehearsing that part of mammal physiology, nothing more.
No religious sources can be trusted - look at that moron Jeffress.
Regarding BS filter - odd that you swallow YEC nonsense (and produce a bunch of your own)...
Says the guy that thinks evolution is wrong because he cannot understand it.The article is more convincing than you are. Sorry.
