Re: you are ignorant
Hi traste,
Iam,paying that is why I was able to asked excellent question.
No you are not!
You asked for a fossil that was an intermediate form between fish and amphibians, you asked that question in a reply to a post that gave you the intermediate fossils that you were requesting.
Now, either you don't actually care to see the fossils or you don't think it represents an intermediate form. If you don't think it does represent an intermediate form, then explain why, and be specific.
What is it about that fossil that I linked for you that you feel does not represent an intermediate form between fish and amphibian?
And what is your evidence the lung fish?
Here is the fossil THAT YOU REQUESTED...again: Tiktaali
Here's the quote...again:
quote:
Tiktaalik represents an intermediate form between fish and amphibians. Unlike many previous, more fishlike transitional fossils, Tiktaalik's 'fins' have basic wrist bones and simple fingers, showing that they were weight bearing. Close examination of the joints show that although they probably were not used to walk, they were more than likely used to prop up the creature’s body, push up fashion. The bones of the fore fins show large muscle facets, suggesting that the fin was both muscular and had the ability to flex like a wrist joint. These wrist-like features would have helped anchor the creature to the bottom in fast moving current.
Also notable are the spiracles on the top of the head, which suggest the creature had primitive lungs as well as gills. This would have been useful in shallow water, where higher water temperature would lower oxygen content. This development may have led to the evolution of a more robust ribcage, a key evolutionary trait of land living creatures. The more robust ribcage of Tiktaalik would have helped support the animal’s body any time it ventured outside a fully aquatic habitat. Tiktaalik also lacked a characteristic that most fishes have - bony plates in the gill area that restrict lateral head movement. This makes Tiktaalik the earliest known fish to have a neck. This would give the creature more freedom in hunting prey either on land or in the shallows.
What a wishful speculations and boundless optimsm! Do you think your bounless optism would turned those primative fish into amphibians?
My optimism hopes to turn *you* into someone who actually reads links and provides an intelligent argument for or against the evidence.
But I'm slowly becoming pessimistic about that...
mammals become humans
I'm not going to reply to your ridiculous questions, however, are you saying that humans are not mammals?
Actually, Im notignorant of this subject butI guess you are.
Perhaps, but you have failed to show how and where I'm being ignorant.

Well, as one data point in the argument against such a creation there are these facts of the first appearance of these "kinds":
amoeba "kind" - Achaean period
plant and fish "kinds" - Vendian period
arthropod "kind" - Pre-Cambrian period
amphibian "kind" - Devonian period
reptile "kind" - Carboniferous period
mammal "kind" - Triassic period
ignorant creationist "kind" - Cenozoic period
Seems to me that if these "kinds" were created at the beginning then we should see all of them in the Achaean period.
your list above has no conflict with the bible account.
the Genesis account merely covers the major events in a progressive way, describing what things were formed, the order in which they were formed and the time interval, or 'day,' in which each first appeared.
it was the 1st and 2nd creative periods or 'days' that speak of the atmosphere being created and the dry land being brought together into one place
then it was the in the 3rd creative period that three broad categories of land plants appeared. "Let the earth cause grass to shoot forth, vegetation bearing seed, fruit trees yielding fruit according to their kinds..."
in the 5th creative period or 'day' came first the sea creatures, then the flying creatures. "Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls and let flying creatures fly over the earth upon the face of the expanse of the heavens"
finally it was the 6th creative period or 'day' that land animals began to appear...the last of them being 'mankind'
"Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds, domestic animal and moving animal and wild beast of the earth according to its kind."
so isnt this order of creation is in line with scientific fact...if not whats missing ?

No.
Birds do not come before land animals.
Land plants do not come before sea creatures.
AZPaul3's list (no number 36,996) does conflict with the biblical account.
The biblical account has nothing in common with reality. It won't even shoehorn into reality.

have you got any references I can go to that explains this?
genesis lists 10 major stages in this order:
1a beginning to the universe
2a primitive earth in darkness and enshrouded in heavy gases and water
3light
4an expanse or atmosphere
5large areas of dry land
6land plants of all sorts
7sun, moon and stars discernible, and seasons begin
8sea creatures and flying creatures
9wild and tame beasts, mammals
10mankind
what's illogical or impossible about this order? Its seems like it could work. Light would need to come before plants. Plants would need to come before animals

but the genesis account does not specify the specific types of plants. It simply presents the order of the major groups as they appeared.
it says only they appeared on 'earth' and does not specify whether is they appeared on the land under the seas or land above.

Other than reality?
The time periods involved.
This was a specific answer to a specific question.

it only says 'earth'
as far as i'm aware, the land under the sea is still part of the earth unless scientists have decided otherwise
there are many diffferent types of plants that yield seed and a fruit tree isnt confined to apples and oranges.

Re plants

It would seem that this would mean plants on land.
It also says that the plants came from the seed which was already upon the earth.
Where did those seed come from?
Could it have been the plants God made in Genesis 2:9 produced the seed that God refered to in Genesis 1:11.
That would solve the problem as the only thing created on earth before those plants was one man.
Yea I know that makes things be out of order. But hey man has been arranging things in the wrong order since the beginning of time.
But to the title of the topic 'A Logical account of creation'.
If things were created by God. I believe they were.
The plants had to be created before they could produce seed.
Therefore the seed in Genesis 1:11 had to come from the plants created in Genesis 2:9.
Because it is not said God created the seed of the plants.
Is that Logical?
God Bless,

Who says ICR or Mr Morris is correct in what they believe?
Especially when they disagree with what the Bible says.
Everything was created in the first light period,(as recorded in Genesis 2:4 through Genesis 4:24) that ended with the evening found in Genesis 1:2 as darkness had come. In verse 5 God declares that evening and the end of that darkness the following morning as the first day.
Then the six days of Moses is described.
