LOL wow..

If you knew anything, you would know that the natural realm parallels the spiritual realm for example.

what occurs during childbirth? First the water breaks then comes the blood then the spirit

How is someone born again? repents and is baptized (water,) remission of sin (through the blood of Jesus) receives the holy spirit (ie. the fire at Pentecost)

the Bible says that there will be a new Earth, it has to be reborn the same as everything else. It was flooded (baptized), cleansed of sin (By Jesus spilling his blood on it) then it will be purged by fire (spirit)

2 Peter 3:12
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

So he took somewhat over a hundred different pairs of spiders?

But only two from the family Felidae? From which common ancestor pair lions, tigers, cougars leopards and the domestic house cat all evolved? In 4000 years or so?

Really?

Would you like to try again?

You don't believe everything you read, do you?

Because claiming you missed the point really is indicative that one has missed the point!

Will you play the big bad patrician to my poor pitiful plebeian? I so love roleplay.

"Nu-uh you!" isn't an argument sweetie.

Indeed not. That applies to the things I read in the bible as well...

How about you?

What specifically about the biological classification of cats and spiders did you disbelieve, and on what basis?

If you get to name spiritual things after physical things, and stretch definitions to breaking point then yeah, that will tend to happen.

Except that amniotic fluid is no more "water" than blood is. And if blood comes after the water breaks then something is wrong. And that what comes after that is a baby, not a spirit. But otherwise yeah, it's a perfect parallel.

Still love to hear your views on the development of cats from the common ancestor and how many families of spiders noah took on the ark with him. Could listen to that all day

I cant tell if you are for real or trolling.
Wikipedia: Amniotic fluid- At first it is mainly water with electrolytes, but by about the 12-14th week the liquid also contains proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and phospholipids, and urea, all of which aid in the growth of the fetus.

not immediately after, during the actual child birth.

you keep saying you're a Christian but yet you don't know anything, you do realize that babies have a spirit right?

all spiders belong to the same group Araneae why do you keep insisting that "many families of spiders" were involved?

If there really was an intelligent designer, women would have retractable teeth.

Being "quite certain" does not make it a fact, either it is a fact or it isn't.

Fact: You haven't posted anything to substantiate your Ark theory.

Yeah right. Here's some real "intelligent design" by a *loving god*.
