It was a moral imperative.

What a beautiful kitty! Is he as mellow as he looks?

He really is. We found him as a kitten at the local SPCA in 2003 (he was a wedding present to me from my wonderful DH!) He’s turning 6 this summer! A big, mellow, fluffy cat!

You can also mate lions with tigers and get viable offspring."

maybe that is because they are of the same species

[quote]"In biology, a species is one of the basic units of biological classification and a taxonomic rank. A species is often defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. While in many cases this definition is adequate, more precise or differing measures are often used, such as based on similarity of DNA or morphology.[/quote]

true, thank you for the lesson on evolution but then how do they explain micro-organisms "evolving" into so many varied branches by magic, they cannot.

all the evidence available shows De-evolution. The theory is bunk

"And by this, you demonstrate your lack of knowledge of basic physics, too. Quote the 2nd law of thermodynamics that deals with entropy, and I’ll show you where you blundered.

I may not be equiped to debate you on an acedemic level, so may I illustrate in laymens terms.

combustion or nuclear fusion ( examples of the 2nd law) are not as complex as life, existing energy must exert force to cause kinetic energy to activate.

for instance

An F-18 aircraft is complex and can certainly not assemble itself at random over time, (someone created it) but it will certainly deteriorate over time.

In the same way, the beautiful cat is infinitly more complex than that aircraft could ever hope to be, yet scientists somehow have a theory that it was assembled by magic over time, although there is not a shred of evidence to explain the origin, so they came up with "evolution" to try and explain what they cannot.

exhibit A: the DNA molecule. It exhibits evidence of intelligent design, contrary to the random disorder and entropy of nature, or even the order within chaos as in quantum physics

Evolution is like global warming, it describes an effect, but fails in the explanation of the cause.

The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, for it to be vali, requires energy isolation.

The earth, and all that is in it, is not operating in isolation. Trillions of watts of energy is poured into the planet, each day, by the sun. This makes the 2nd law invalid to the reasoning that things can’t increase in complexity over time.

I disagree.

Trillions of watts of sunlight, energy isolation and the earth's relationship to the universe does not add up to the creation of a complex molecule. At least not in the universe that we presently occupy.

the theory of evolution has its high points in theory but is lacking in factual validation

To: KTM rider

What I meant was that the law regarding entropy cannot be taken into account, without considering the energy isolation requirement.
