Assuming you are speaking of the theory of evolution, why do you feel it is a 'fairy tale?'

So, you DON'T believe in "Intelligent Design", then?

sort
sôrt/Submit
noun

a category of things or people having some common feature; a type. 
Seriously?

How about vertebrates. They all have a common feature, a spine. Did he just take two generic vertebrates?

This is why it's so embarrassing when Christians try to shoehorn science into the bible story. They generally know lots about the bible and piss all about science.

Animals have very clear classification systems. Genus. Species that style of thing. They have clear meanings. So what exactly is a "sort"?

did you miss the part in the definition where is states "category of things"
ie. the different family of animals.

Equidae
Ursidae
Canidae
Felidae
Cervidae

get it now?

btw, you should change your name to Judas, seems more fitting.

So noah took two of every family of animals? Is that what you think?

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? Undecided

Would you like to try again?

That counts as questioning evolution.

Oh and as to your Btw, I'm afraid my faith involves nothing about pandering to the irrationality of other Christians just because they are Christians. The literal interpretation of the arc story is absurd, and your attempts to make it sound otherwise are embarrassing.

a hundred different pairs of spiders? what? also 4000 years ago? are you for real?

RE: Intelligent design? Really?
You said that every sort meant every family. There are over a hundred families of spider.

Or do you think that a smaller number of families evolved into a larger number since the ark.

The example of felidae is yours. I wonder what the animal which represented that family looked like.

As I say, would you like to try again? Or can we agree that noahs ark is at best allegorical.

I've heard of micro and macro evolution. The idea that one ancestor developed into lions, and housecats since the ark may require the word turbo evolution to be coined.
