CREATIONISTS: if noah’s arc landed in turkey, then why does the platypus only live in australia?

Posted on September 29, 2011 by admin| 10 Comments

in fact, how did they even get there? more importantly though, why didn’t they leave behind any descendants in any of the other continents?

the xenarthrans (sloths, armadillos, and ant eaters) are also problematic in that they are limited to the americas. (in all fairness though, a xenarthran fossil was found in the messel shales in germany.) still though, if they came off of noah’s arc, shouldn’t we expect to see moe fossils in europe, asia, or africa?

also, most people know little of the extinct mammalian clade, Meridiungulata, but they’re entirely restricted to south america too.

how can creationists who believe in the flood justify these examples of geographic isolation on continents that are quite far away from where noah’s arc supposedly landed?

BUMBLE BEE,

it really doesn’t matter if you’re a christian. are you a young earth creationist though? i believe in continental drift and i also believe this to be the reason why different types of animals are restricted to certain continents. but continental drift takes a long time.

the collection of continents that you’re referring to is called pangaea, but that happened 200 million years ago. do you believe the earth to be old enough for this?? to my understanding, most creationists deny the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift.

if you believe though that both continental drift and the story of noah’s arc are true, the you are facing some serious implications. according to reconstructed biblical timelines, the flood occurred 4,400 years ago. do you really mean to imply the break up of pangaea did not begin to occur until after 4,400 years ago??

What is a fact ot something about Texas that has a “K” in it?

Posted on September 14, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I’m doing an ABC report on Texas, and I have to come up with something about each letter of the alphabet that has something to do with Texas. I’m stuck on “k”. Any ideas?

Examples:

For “A” I did armadillo, the state mammal. For “V” I did vast because Texas is the 2nd largest state.

Please help me!

Thank you!
:]

Sexual Dimorphism; Fact or Fiction?

Posted on February 19, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

Sexual dimorphism in humans is the subject of much controversy, especially relating to mental ability and psychological gender.

Human male and female appearances are very different, although Homo sapiens has a high level of sexual dimorphism in general.

For example, many big cats like the lion and tiger and even the leopard all are quite sexually dimorphic. The female, in trying to protect her cubs will fail to keep a male with his large mane from infanticide. Also, the Polar bear in which the male, if food is scarce, will kill and eat the female. Even the males of armadillos are slightly heavier than the females.
Some biologists theorise that a species’ degree of sexual dimorphism is inversely related to the degree of paternal investment in parenting. Species with the highest sexual dimorphism, such as the pheasant, tend to be those species in which the care and raising of offspring is done only by the mother, with no involvement of the father (low degree of paternal investment). Conversely, the low level of sexual dimorphism in humans is said to correlate to the human species’ high degree of paternal investment (fathers make a high investment in childrearing).
Comparative and social psychologists have observed that males and females, in general, differ in the way they carry books while walking. Upon using a classification system of the five common methods of carrying books, a high percentage of females will partially cover their body with the books they are carrying, such as by holding them in front of the chest. Most males carry their books at the side of body, leaving the front uncovered (Jenni, M.A. 1976). The most common explanation of this observation is that women typically have less upper body strength than men, and need to rest the objects they are carrying on their bodies. Some psychologists hypothesize that it is a maternal instinct in many women causing them to carry inanimate objects in a protective manner. Still another explanation could be insecurity or modesty in regards to the breasts.
Sexual dimorphism can pose a problem to society just as it can be helpful. It can be very dangerous, especially to those of the female gender. Seeing as a man can easily grow to be twice the size of a woman it would be easy for him to have his way with her. There have been millions of cases of sexual abuse in the United States and many women depend on men to protect them but they do not think that they may need protection from the protector.

It is well known that in prehistoric days sexual dimorphism may have been ‘needed’ but in a more civilized society it has become much less needed except for its uses in war and jobs requiring strength.

It is unknown if the height and muscle advantages of men will fade over time as more and more people use machines but some will always remain.
Interesting information, though, because its from Wikipedia, I take it with a grain of salt. Any inspiring or vicor filled comments anyone would like to state on the subject?
