Pink flamingos prove Creationism.

[leibowde84]

You seem to be trying to argue semantics. The position of Creationism presented in the OP is an ''example'', of creationism, among others. It's a specific inference to design and plausibility. I did not state anywhere that my entire argument or belief in creationism is based on this OP proposal, or this aspect of the argument. So, you are incorrect in your summary, because it lacks context specificity; ie, it's a false conclusion from the OP, because it speculates beyond which has what been presented as an argument.

Basically, your not presenting an argument, here, because you are misrepresenting the OP intent and specificity.

What am I misinterpreting in the OP? How you are defining creationism? Because you provided that to me in another thread. Are you defining it differently here? If so, shouldn't you have provided the definition?

Obviously pink flamingos prove creationism. The odds of something like that in a materialist zeitgeist are laughably small. Actually, the ''odds'' of plain materialism are laughably small in general. ''Oh but it could happen''. Well, purple unicorns on Mars could happen as well.

Were pink flamingos rescued from Noah flood together with not pink ones, as well?

There's some 9,000+ bird species that can't mate with each other. And God told Noah to "You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive." And then the next chapter tells him "Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth."

So 14 birds per species. That's 126,000 birds. On the bright side, at least that animal defecates off the boat. Well, except the penguins... and ostriches.

Well I don't know if flamingos prove creationism.... but I know a few people who definitely disprove Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest.

True. A friend of mine almost died of heart attack by insisting too much on those fitness programs.

And that's one problem with the theory; survival of the fittest does not necessitate survival of the superior

 

[Twilight Hue]

Can you explain why you think they prove creationism?

I'm thinking same line as bananas prove creation.

The phrase "survival of the fittest" is not generally used by modern biologists as the term does not accurately describe the mechanism of natural selection as biologists conceive it.

Just to be clear here, Darwin appropriated the phrase "survival of the fittest" from Herbert Spencer. As Spencer explained it "This survival of the fittest, which I have here sought to express in mechanical terms, is that which Mr. Darwin has called 'natural selection', or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life." * And it is with this concept in mind that Darwin used the phrase.

And, just who are these people you believe disprove Darwin's theory, and what is their proof?

On the downside, that's one helluva chore to keep the birds of prey from snatching up all the rodents, rabbits, other birds, reptiles, and other things that birds eat. What was he supposed to do if a hawk or eagle snatched another bird while both were in flight?

I presume each animal taken for the ark was the Noah of that species, so just sat around obedient, not eating anything for 30 days.

My grandfather who was a retired Command Sergeant Major once told me as he was patting his beer belly "The Army told me for 26 years to watch my weight so I put it where I can watch it." He was a very wise man.

 

[Milton Platt]

Obviously. We were just hoping no-one would mention that.

PINK FLAMINGOS??? Well, that's it for me!!! There MUST be a god. Now let me spend a few hundred years figuring out which one it is....oh crap, I don't have that much time. That's okay, I'll just pick the one most popular where I happen to live.

Shoot, I thought this was going to be a thread about drinking!
