Best description of Christianity

[Esquilax]

We really need to shake this notion that animals are just a cat or a dog and it's that simple. As usual, religion tries to reduce extremely complex ideas to tiny, discrete, simple ones so it can pile them up and knock them over.

Also, "species" is not some magic barrier, or some pillar of natural order that it's impossible to cross. Whenever creationists argue against evolution they seem to speak as though it's laughable on the face of it to even consider that one species could change into another, like that's obviously impossible just on the face of it. But the word species is just a taxonomic classification that we made up, it's a word, with a use, but it's still just a word with a definition in a human language. The line of demarcation between one species and another is similarly just a made up construct designed to help us order the natural world.

Despite the language, one species evolving into another is really just one category we made up, transferring into another category we made up. That shit happens all the time.
