He predicted that animals will produce after their own kind. He predicted that a canine will give birth only to a canine--never to a porcupine, monkey, or any other animal; that a feline will give birth to a feline; and, that a coelacanth will only come from another coelacanth. He wrote in his own words that a coelacanth will never morph into something other than what it is.
So what is your point here? Why would anyone ever expect a canine to give birth "to a porcupine, monkey, or any other animal"? Do you think that anybody exists who would seriously expect a canine to give birth "to a porcupine, monkey, or any other animal"? If you do think that, then who do you think would expect that and why?
I have been studying "creation science" since 1981 and discussing it with creationists since 1985. I have seen that claim presented many times, but whenever I would try to discuss it with a creationist he always accusing me of making it up -- or else he would refuse to respond at all. Now here you are making that same claim, so you cannot use the typical tactic of denying that any creationist would make that claim. And hopefully you will not refuse to respond to my questions at all.
I am quite serious about those questions and I do want to get your answers and to discuss them with you.

Rocky.C, I am about to depart for two weeks during with I will be off-line. I honestly and truly want an answer to my question about your use of the "but they're still MOTHS!" claim. I honestly and truly want to know you would think that anybody would believe that a canine should ever be expected to give birth "to a porcupine, monkey, or any other animal". And I honestly and truly want to know who you would think that anybody would be. It's just that it will be two weeks from tomorrow until I could respond to your answer.
It doesn't surprise me that evolutionists resort to negative stereotyping of creationists.
Actually, we are merely relying on decades of bitterly earned direct experience with actual creationists. Very bitterly earned. I've been doing it since 1986, so it's coming up on three full decades for me.
Every single time I encounter a new creationist, I try to get honest answers from them, answers which are never forthcoming. You see, I'm a pessimist about this, which should make me the happiest person in the world since 99% of the time I'm right and 1% of the time I'm pleasantly surprised. I keep hoping to be pleasantly surprised about creationists. Hasn't happened yet. Think you could break that streak and pleasantly surprise me by honestly answering my questions about your claims? Standing by not bothering to hold my breath.
