By the way, Missy Meng, maybe you better ask gawd to give your shield back, (you did say it was "with him" ... did he need a panty shield ?) Why did you give it to him, anyway. Did you think he/she needed it ?
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell  Popcorn

Imagine what apes thought when they saw the first baby that looked different from them.

Nothing, since evolution doesn't work like that.

Because now you're expanding and contracting what a "sort" means from organism to organism, with no justification: Felidae, as your first list mentions, is a Family classification, whereas Aranae is an Order. So when you originally claimed that the animals on the Ark were divided according to Family, you were wrong, and I suspect just pulling that claim out of your ass for convenience.

Now, your "sort" nonsense is back to being a random grab bag based on nothing more than what you think looks similar, rather than anything biologically true.

Edited to add: Incidentally, since Aranae is the order, and Family is a different classification below that, there are in fact 109 families of spider to go on the Ark. This shit is muddier than you'd think.

I'm reminded of a conversation I had with a work colleague who asserted that thylacines had been interbreeding with domestic dogs.......

Be sure to see the new Godzilla movie. The screen writers certainly think evolution works that way. Just saying...

I don't go to Godzilla movies for my science anymore, ever since Godzilla Vs Destoroyah claimed that a single organism could rapidly evolve from amoeba to... well, kaiju. Tongue

Movies tend to get a lot of the details, as well as the major points, completely wrong. But they are entertaining for a couple of hours. The problem is that they ultimately end up brainwashing the audience over a lifetime.

Back in my early 20's I was working with a guy right about the same age as me. We were hanging out after work one day and he said that one of the things he had always wanted to do was to have sex in an anti-gravity room. And this guy wasn't a stupid person.

I remember some scene from a movie, probably a comedy or something, where a couple gets it on in an anti-gravity room on Earth. Probably a movie from the 80's but I can't track it down. That's probably where he got that misconception.

I had to tell the guy it was all bullshit.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
