The Creationists' Nightmare

[Annik]

I've taught my dogs German, English and hand language, I know it's not that your dogs dumb, it must be your lack of ability to teach.

There is so much wrong in this statement.
1. Dogs are associative learners. You could use the words "Booga Booga" for sit and they would sit. They don't understand "Booga Booga", they just recognize the sounds and your tone of voice (the have also evolved to read human facial emotions).

2. It's called sign language. As an ASL signer, this particularly bothers me.

3. There are some dogs that do not respond as well to training. There are also dogs that excel in it. Aussie Shepherds are amazing learners.
