Yes, Virginia, this post is off-topic
AnswersInGenitals:
In the US, there are probably about 20 times as many Clausians as biologists (where a Clausian is a person who accepts the validity of the existence of Santa Claus based on the overwhelming evidence). And yet, the majority of people in the US reject the validity of SC's existence, even though they are familiar with the same evidence, and in many cases were the ones who first exposed the believers to that evidence. I have no idea if this is relevant to your point, or if its just one of those tu quoquequidproquo arguments that MiketheWhiz is so fond of exposing.
All I know is, if the Sun says it, it's so.

ongoing search for the biological definition of 'kind'
So those scientists should just drop their high-falutin' talk about clads and get back to Fishy and Horsey, eh?
I'm curious as to how you and the two-year-olds of the world have decided to classify this one.

If it looks like a Moertherium and smells like a Moertherium...
fallacycop:
cool picture. [Message 69]
is that some kind of tapir?
Scientists call it Moertherium, an archaic pachyderm. It's in the family tree of today's elephants, though not thought to be a direct ancestor. The closest living relatives of the family are manatees, dugongs, and hyraxes.
But that's only what all the godless evolutionists tell us. What we still don't know is how our top creationist minds classify this creature.
Is it a 'kind' of elephant? If so, did Noah take these on the ark? Or does the vast difference in appearance between this animal and modern pachyderms represent a distinction in 'kind'? Is calling this (clearly non-elephantine!) animal a pachyderm just another ridiculous consequence of buying into all that macroevolutionist nonsense?
Should we classify Moertherium as something else? 'Piggy,' perhaps?
