building of the ark (which I ASSUME we agree was approximately 4000 years ago)?
Your assumption is incorrect. Consult a reference book to discover when the flood took place. By 2000 BC we are already to the time of Abram.
You appear to think you know the 10 "kinds of dog" that were present at the time of Christ, and the 5 "kinds of dog" that were present at the time the Ark was allegedly built. I'm asking you what they were, so I'll know what you think YOU know.
There were only a few kinds of dogs. Fossil remains of the early Bronze Age, 6500 years ago; make it possible to identify 5 major groups of early dogs
There happen to be several places where this information can be found. Here is the source for the quote: http://www.chuckiii.com/Reports/Anthropology/Domestication_of_the_Dog.shtml
But since BS isn't real science, "kind" doesn't have any scientific definition. In real science, we have, "kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species, variety/breed."
Maybe you haven't thought of this before, but exactly what was the taxonomy before the current system? Do your own homework to discover the answer. Do you think there was no method of classifying animals before the current phylogenic system?
:-/ *I* can't possibly "research" what I'm asking you! I'm asking you what YOU know...or to be more accurate, what you think you know. You said there were 10 "kinds" of dogs at the time of Christ, and 5 "kinds" of dogs at the time of the Flood. You obviously wouldn't have said this, unless you thought you knew it. I can't research to find out what *you* think you know.
There were only a few kinds of dogs. Fossil remains of the early Bronze Age, 6500 years ago; make it possible to identify 5 major groups of early dogs.
Heh, heh, heh! Dataman, Irish Archbishop James Ussher calculated that CREATION occurred in 4004 BC! Are you saying the good Archbishop was WRONG? ;-)
Dates of Creation and the Flood
Your nonsensical (which some witnesses call "science") website about the dogs of the Bronze Age is saying that there was a BRONZE AGE almost 2500 years before Adam was even created!!! :-)
In your opinion, who is wrong? Archbishop James Ussher, who calculated that Creation occurred in 4004 BC? Or the website that you found that talks about an early Bronze Age in 6500 BC?
