What the **** was God Thinking When He . . .

[Skwim]

made sooo many different species?

Seriously folks, wouldn't a few of each have sufficed? What the heck was he trying to do that required 81,000 different kinds of mollusks and 5,956 species of red algae, to say nothing of almost a million different insects?

More bothered that Noah had his work cut out for him.

In my opinion.

When you start making kinds, it is hard to stick with just a few flavors:

KIND Nut Bars | KIND Snacks

Maybe you're on to something there - we could be inching closer to a testable definition of "kind"; it's determined by why kind of nuts the organism has!*

*And how well they go with various varieties of chocolate.

If the above wording is your idea of seriously asking someone to make an attempt at answering the questions you want them to, please never work in marketing. No need for more companies to go out of business and innocent people to become unemployed.

It's lies, all lies - obviously.

Proves that their are many Gods at work (just like various companies). Each created his own kind of nuts.

 

[Woberts]

Obviously, God created so many species as a test to our faith. Duh!

One problem with any creationist definition of "kind" is that humans and others apes all become one "kind". In fact usually all primates would be one "kind".

So...I want you to know that it was a joke. Skwim was asking for feedback from Creationists about the diversity of life. Creationists often referred to "kinds." The type of nut/nutrition bar to which I was referring is called "Kind bar." It is a play on words with the operative "Kind" referring to the the Creationists use of "kind" to refer to distinction between animals and other kingdoms. The joke works because Skwim was talking about the noticeable diversity between or even within what Creationists would term "Kinds" whereas I was referring to the diversity between flavors of "Kind bars."

I am full of these jokes and truly do Crack myself up at times. I can understand if others don't always find them as humorous, but given Sequim's OP, (see what I did there? It is because you are familiar with Washington), I figured that he wasn't expecting serious discussion.

No. Hindu mythology goes beyond the divisions and is always serious: Kashyapa, His Thirteen Wives, and their progeny

His sons from Aditi were Adityas (the refulgent ones, normally referred to in English as suns).
His sons from Diti were the Daityas.
Garuda (Eagle) and Aruna are the sons of Kashyap from his wife, Vinata.
The Nāgas (serpents) are his sons from Kadru.
The Danavas are his sons from Danu.
The Bhagavata Purana states that the Apsaras were born from Kashyap and Muni.
Etc.

Maybe they were having a BOGO sale at Evolutions 'R' Us....

 

[Srivijaya]

He made Kim Kardashian's butt too, which is almost a species with a life of its own.

On the other hand... maybe he didn't...?

You make this sound like this the hardest calculus problem ever invented. With God's infinite intelligence capacity a few million insect definitions is like simple arithmetic.

God likes creating animal forms because each is like a fine piece of art. God. likes to paint a lot.

An omnipotent God can create the Universe in any amount of time including all the fake fossil and carbon dating evidence. Both evolution and creationism are true at the same time.

Your chart is completely wrong if it discussing Creation. HE only made a FEW of each. HE made only one Reptile - The Snake. There were just a FEW mammals- goats, cows, sheep and pigs. There were only two birds - robins and vultures. The only fish were cod and salmon. The only insects were bees. Etc.



The 1.5 million we see now is entirely due to the FEW going out and Multiplying.

 

[Quintessence]

This is probably one of the worst arguments against creationism I've ever seen.

"I think there are too many species, therefore creationism is wrong."

Seriously?

That's not how genetics work, kiddo.

Easy. To glorify himself, of course.

I'm still trying to get my mind around the Platypus. @Deeje Got a thought on this critter? I believe he is from your part of the world. And Ive always wondered; Do they quack like a duck?
