It really is quite simple... either this is not his only 'experiment', and humans are no more special in his eyes than are rocks... or he is taking someone else's creations and adding his own little 'twist' to them. This is a leftover part of the bible from when it was polytheistic... or else it is just some of the usual biblical bullshit.(November 12, 2009 at 2:20 pm)Saerules Wrote: 'fact' 1: God created animals after their kind. Meaning: He didn't design the animals himself, because their archetype already existed.
(Actual) fact 2: It makes less sense, because 'God' is a part of it... and it ignores all of the evidence and proof that it actually did not happen that way. After all... the sun could 'REALLY?' orbit the Earth... except for the FACT that it has been proven that it doesn't.
You need to be more clear because I do not have any idea what you are talking about. What is your basis for your first fact? I do not follow fact 2 and what exactly are you referring to regarding the sun? Again, if you want to discuss specific issues, I am happy to do so, but this kind of thing just seems to muddy the waters.

The second one is presenting a parallel example: denying evolution is the exact same as denying that the Sol IV orbits Sol. And that, my friend, is ridiculous

Edit: Downbeat: I love that Holmes quote, even if you messed it up a tad


Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
