The Bible states that in the midst of creating animals, God said "They will bring forth after their kind" (Gen 1:24)...and that is what I OBSERVE...I observe animals "bringing forth after their kind"...that is what I observe...that is what I can experiment with if I put two dogs, male/female, in one room...have them mate...and however many months later, they will produce a dog...that is an example of BRINGING FORTH AFTER THEIR KIND.
The Bible tells us what any goat herder can observe. But the goat herders aren't wrong: no animal 'brings forth another kind', a goat will have a goat. The Bible doesn't claim that animals can't have descendants in fifty million years that are a different kind, it doesn't address the issue. For all practial purposes of a goat herder's life, goats will always be goats. But if you go back far enough, you will find ancestors of goats that weren't goats. We can know that because we are no longer limited to what goat herders can observe. There doesn't have to be a fight between Genesis and evoluton. God breathing on the dust and forming Adam from it would make a beautiful metaphor for evolution from microbes and Christians could make out like they discovered evolution first, but Creationists have to be prima donnas about it.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
