Ask the fish... Ask a chimp. They will both give you the same answer. That is food for thought...

The fact that neither chimps nor fish are capable of speaking is proof only one thing, that chimps and fish are incable of speech.

Again I come back to this. Your only problem with evolution is that of fear. You have some deep seated need to be better than everything else. To be special. Honestly thats the attitude of a child, and a spoiled one at that. Grow up.

Would you mind replying to the actual point I'm making?

Don't get mad. Dogs get mad and you are not a dog.... You were making a point? I don't place any weight in cartoons nor TV characters. They are not real.

Your only problem with CREATIONISM and the BIBLE is fear. I don't fear evolution. If you taught both the BIBLE and evolution in the very same class, I have no fear that the BIBLE would make more people happy. You have a deep seated need to bend the BIBLE to your theories and make CREATIONISM something to laugh at and demean. You are a child-----look to GOD and be made whole.

How on earth do they benefit man? Maybe they are taste like chicken?

I would say that for one they are part of the ecological system and help hold a food chain together. And two, I'd say that the critters are funny to watch. They make us both laugh and wonder at the very same time. And thirdly, they provide us with a mirror of perhaps how GOD sees us ---- so we are not without examples....:D

Nice little tantrum there. How bout this, we teach the Bible, and we teach the Quran, and the all the other religous texts. But no, we couldn't have that now could we. No you have to remain special and chosen, so its the Bible only. No thanks, I'll pass. Those books can remain in comparative religon courses and classes on mythology. Being as none of them contain any science, we'll just leave them out of the science room.

I don't think so since most people's exposures to other apes are from zoos and some are even going extinct. I don't think the ecosystem will collapse if they didn't exist so I can't see them as any benefit to mankind.
Of course this would explain why YECs exist, to make people laugh.:D

Well now, unless I want evolutionists killing off all the animals to prove their point, I must stand on the side of Cheeta and the likes of Dumbo and Bambi and hold to CREATION. .

The purpose of a school classroom isn't primarily to make the kids happy, but even by this criteria you'd be wrong - you only have to look at how many of our kids enjoy science vs RE.

Are you trying to prove his point about YECs existing to make people laugh?

When Linophryne arbonifers die, they go where all the other fish go. When man dies, he does not go where all apes go nor all fish... In fact, man is given a choice----and apes are not.

I can find no prerequisite of not going to an afterlife in that definition.

So, are you going to continue dodging or are you going to admit that humans meet that definition?

I'm not mad. I want you to reply to points I make, that's all. But apparantly it went over your head.

My kit example was an example to illustrate classification. No matter which other special attributes kit has, because kit has all attributes of a car, kit is a car.

The same with humans. No matter which special attributes humans have, because they have all attributes of animals, they are animals. That's how classifications work, always.

Who make up or designated the "offical" attributes? Does that mean that is ALL there is? Creationists among others cannot add a few of their own? I'm sorry you're sor narrowminded. I was trying to enlighten you.

Nothing.

Luke 23: 8-9 said:
And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him. Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

Is this your (unnecessarily cryptic) way of saying you're no longer interested in participating in the discussion?

Education is suppose to make people think, reason, and investigate. Memorization is not what science is all about. The reality is the alternative to evolution brings logic, investigation, and research into play. Science classes today are about cutting up frogs (if they even do that), collecting insects, building a volcano plus memorizing unifornitarian and evolutionistic propaganda. Unless there is a strong willed Christian person in that class the discussions are fairly mundane....
