Faith What is the similarity you intuitively see between bears and racoons Faith?This message has been edited by sidelined, Tue, 2006-02-21 10:48 AM

Faith And yet you can see no corresponding likeness between primates and humans?

FaithIt was not any more so with the bear and racoon though. And genetically the primates share a greater amount than do bears and racoons. Indeed there are all sorts of counterintuitive connections in the animal world revealed through genetics

Faith There are even found on the continent of Antartica both plant and meat eating dinosaur fossils. One must ask how this continent was able to support such animals since it is obvious that the plant eaters must also consume plants and there is an {iaverage[/i] thickness of ice of 7000 feet.How did plant life grow at the extreme cold of Antarctic's climate to support such massive creatures as these?So please explain this. From the time of Noah until now the Antarctic continent had to lay down an average thickness of ice nearly 1.5 miles thick. We find fossils of dinosaurs there of both plant eating and meat eating variety, yet after the flood none of them returned to this land to live. In fact,there are no dinosaurs alive today,so what happened to the ones that Noah brought aboard?This message has been edited by sidelined, Sat, 2006-03-04 12:35 AM

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Faith Antarctica was a lush plant producing supplier of food to dinosaurs. How can this have occured when it is in the location it is with an ice covering of 1.5 miles? After the flood where would the ice have come from since after a year beneath the ocean it would have melted away? Oops, it cannot have melted away since it was not ice before the flood because the fossils there indicate that the land was rich in plant material to support plant eating dinosaurs.
But if there were no ice after the flood where did all the ice today come from?
Also, it is weird to think of how plant life could manage to eek out an existence enough to supply large warm blooded animals with a food supply if 5 months of the year there were not enough sunlight to drive photosynthesis.Do you begin to see the difficulties here? These are not the only ones.This message has been edited by sidelined, Sat, 2006-03-04 02:07 AM
