Re: Whale legs
Tuna can swim in water down to 43 degrees, but whales can swim in much colder water - as cold as 0 degrees.
You evidently are talking Fahrenheit. Have you ever seen 0 degree water. It is a chunk of ice. I don't think a Whale can swim through 0 degree water.
Instead of just copying the crap you see on fundie sites maybe you should actually research the subject.

Salt water at 0 degrees F
Ever hear of salt water?
Sure have and it freezes well before 0 F.
quote:
Away from rivers and glaciers, the ocean has a salinity of about 35. The Atlantic is about 1 salinity units saltier than the Pacific. So ocean water freezes at about -1.91 degrees C.
Source
quote:
The freezing point of seawater is about 28.4F (-2C), instead of the 32F (0C) freezing point of ordinary water. Why do you think the freezing points are different? Right, because seawater has salt in it! As seawater increases 5 ppt in salinity, the freezing point decreases by 0.5F.
Source
I still want to see a Whale swim in 0 F water.
I wonder if Aaron will ever reply to this point. Maybe he is scrambling back to his fundie sites to try to find some sort of counter.
Nah, he will just move onto some other inane, unsupported argument.

Re: Salt water at 0 degrees F
The thing is Aaron wants to play games with temperatures. Either that or he is blindly reciting something he read or heard or even possibly he doesn't know what he is talking about so doesn't realize how bone headed he sounded.
It is obvious that the info about the tuna he presented was in F and that the info about the whales was in C. The scary thing is he was unable to tell that his sources were using different temperature scales. But then again I tend to expect this from Creos.

Re: Salt water at 0 degrees F
Lets look at his original assertion
Message 96
Tuna can swim in water down to 43 degrees, but whales can swim in much colder water - as cold as 0 degrees. Warm blood enables whales to inhabit extreme ecological zones - unlike fish of comparable structure.
If he was using celsius the tuna would be in very hot water. That is warmer than a hot tub.
Lets see what Aaron's explanation is for this. He needs to learn that fundie sites lie or are just plain wrong.

Re: Salt water at 0 degrees F
My point is he should understand what he is posting before he posts something he obviously does not understand completely.

Re: Salt water at 0 degrees F
But as has been pointed out, you attempted make it seem like there was a huge disparity.
The difference between 43 f and 0f is quite a bit.
But not nearly as much of a difference between 6 c and 0 c.
Of i you want it if F 43 and 32.
Doesn't seem to be nearly as impressive does it.
