P.S. No, I haven't been able to get the answer to any of my previous questions, nor any explanation why plants are out.
Luckily, the whole forum is starting to get pissed of about him.

I've heard creationists insist that plants are not alive in the same sense that animals are. I guess they just act that way.

How the frick does one "use up" the ability to change stuff?

I guess they mean that there are various breeds of dogs but they're still dogs.

Of course, from Noah's ark they supposedly became foxes, hyenas, cayotes, wolves.....or whatever a dog "kind" includes.

Don't try and make rational sense out of creationist claims. You'll just hurt your brain.

Yup, in much the same way as Kurt �Baraminologist� Wise reckons the Bovidae are all one �baramin� (�kind�).

Gemsbok

Highland cattle

Springbok

Cheviot sheep

Bison (American buffalo)

Goat (Golden Guernsey)

Hereford cattle

Dik-dik

Yeah, right. Just how much microevolution is that, in 4000 years since Noah? And where's the boundary?

Cheers, DT
