Distinguishing Baramins

Good to see you active still since your dissapearance from the NAiG board. Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you mate.You said:Brad: I suggested scripture was a means to organize the discrete community of discontinuous thinkers of the morphospace.I would like to ask you for your reason for choosing Christian scriptures as a means of organisation as opposed, say to Vedic, Islammic, or even Buddhist scriptures.What makes Christian (or JUdaeo-Christian if you like) scripture better than all the others?Your familiarity with it?
Your faith in it?
Or some other less subjective reason?Look forward to your reply.Cheers

....but I'm not feeling all that sharp this Monday afternoon so forgive my obtuseness.I believe that the subject under discussion is baraminology?I've tried following your train of thought without much success as you seem to be wandering into the area of cosmology rather than biology.My question was for your own personal reason for adopting a Judaeo/Christian outlook on the subject of taxonomy.Could you perhaps couch your response in the terminology you would use for your own students? (Am I correct in understanding you are a high school teacher?).Cheers mate

That last post answered most of my questions.I understand the traditional & emotional imperatives of being raised in a religious household.What I don't understand are your comments on herpetology.What did you mean by your comment:Brad: BUT IT WAS not till AFTER herpetologists could not even follow lines drawn on snakes between the scale and the muscle and the bone as possibly delineating taxa...I'm unsure of your meaning here.Working as I do, in an institution so involved in taxonomy, I know what morphological minutiae is examined in order to determine the taxonomic & evolutionary relationships between organisms.I find it puzzling that you seem to imply that standard scientific taxonomical practices have failed in regards to herpetology and would like you to explain exactly and in what context (citing the taxons involved would help illustrate what you mean) it has so failed.In addition I would love to see how you think baraminology can help resolve said problem.Cheers & God bless Brad
