You're right, alder! Noah could never have done it alone!

It MUST be a miracle!

Praise the lord!

If you accept the lunatic premise in the first place, that might work if the only kiwi that survived to get anywhere on a vegetation mat was a single pregnant... erm, egg-bound... female. Anyone know how long kiwis can go without food and fresh water, and what the �gestation� period for a kiwi egg is? That might tell us how fast the mat had to travel (the eggs might have hatched on the mat, but then the chicks would need food too; even creationists wouldn�t suggest the veg mats could support a breeding population... would they...?

And you�re forgetting one: the supersonic continental drift hypothesis

. Was that an Ed-ism?

No, you do not. You've made a total of 7 posts here, and the 3 most substantial (two here, and one in BC&A) consisted entirely of large chunks of text directly lifted from other sites, given without attribution, as if they were your own contribution.

I see that when you do use your own words, they tend to be ungrammatical and poorly spelled.

Teehee!

Actually adler, I thought it was a bit harsh too. Personally, I only usually pick up on this sort of thing to tease anti-evolutionists, since their grammar and spelling are generally on a par with their science.

Welcome to the wonderful world of E/C, btw!

Cheers, DT

adler5,

Some quick advice for a new user: compose your message in a word processor, such as Microsoft Word. Let the word processor check your text for spelling errors and grammar mistakes.

Then, cut and paste your reply into the browser window.

Note that the subject title in the second post you made was "im adding to what i said". Dishonesty doesn't help your case, ok?
