The sarcasm is a corollary of Poe's law:
I ask that there be less sarcastic commentary."Without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the parodied views." Wikipedia
To wit:
It is impossible to suggest a position so ridiculous that a creationist won't accept it as true. And our geese will blot out the sun.

It would be interesting if you could show us those differences between the cow genome and the fish genome. The cow genome does not have any genetic stuff for making fish.... Aren't they both made of the same LEGOs? What is there that prevents taking apart a LEGO castle and rebuilding it into a LEGO treehouse?And our geese will blot out the sun.

You're not addressing the issue. The reptilian genome and the mammalian genome are made from the same building blocks, the same DNA, the same LEGOs. How would it even be possible to prevent one from being rebuilt as the other? What enforces the rule that a particular LEGO can only make a reptile while another LEGO can only make a mammal? I did spell out some time ago the differences that have to be navigated to get from the reptilian ear to the mammalian ear....And our geese will blot out the sun.

Why? How is that even possible? Macroevolution would need something outside the genome to create a new creature.And our geese will blot out the sun.

You still haven't explained how that is even possible, since every DNA molecule is made of the same building blocks, regardless of species. You're claiming that it's impossible to edit "Hello" into "Goodbye", which is ridiculous. No, since YECs believe there are many separate Kinds each with its own genome, and it's only within each Kind that the kind of variation occurs that I'm talking about.And our geese will blot out the sun.

We don't see much similarity between a whale's tail and a fish's tail two feet away in the same water.
Gee I would never expect any similarities whatsoever in things that swim... ...there couldn't possibly be any use in God designing swimmers with similar designs because they work in water.
But we do see a similarity between a whale's flipper which works in water, and a bat's wing, which works in air.And our geese will blot out the sun.

That doesn't follow. It is possible for the same pattern to evolve from different sources. Note the seal's flipper and the penguin's flipper, very similar in form and function, yet the seal is more closely related to other mammals and the penguin is more closely related to other birds. The evolution does not depend on birds and mammals having a common ancestor. ...if you trace back on the "phylogenetic tree" both the Ichthyosaur and the whale, they both would have had to had the same ancestor with the pentadactyl pattern.And our geese will blot out the sun.

Floods. Plural. We have floods going on in the world right now, so we know they are plural. We have eyewitness accounts going back as far as humans have had the means to pass information down from one generation to the next, so we know floods are plural. We have no reason to think there haven't been floods every year as long as there has been water on earth and as long as there have been seasons. Anyone with eyes open should be able to see the evidence for the Flood everywhere on this earth. What we do NOT have is one shred of evidence that there was one big worldwide Flood. And we do have evidence that there was not.And our geese will blot out the sun.

On the contrary, it's the multiple layers (strata) that clearly show that they could not have all been deposited at once. The depth of the strata proves one worldwide Flood without any other evidence being taken into account.And our geese will blot out the sun.

Q: How do you eat an elephant? I don't know what else I can do to convince you that this creationist is indeed a high reasoner.A: One bite at a time. How do you convince people that your a "high reasoner"? Try setting your sights a little lower. Convince us that you can reason at all before you try to "reason" away centuries of science.And our geese will blot out the sun.

You need to demonstrate your reason in what you post here.
You say "convince us that you can reason at all" even though I can provide evidence I know a lot more about reason that you. mike the wiz writes:
Until you get that up to 100%, my statement stands.
As for "reasoning away centuries of science" ... I accept genetic drift, speciation, allele frequencies. I in fact accept possibly about 85% of what mainstream science says. mike the wiz writes:
I have not claimed to be a good reasoner. I let my posts stand for themselves. So this shows that you are the poor reasoned....And our geese will blot out the sun.

I would never take anything you say as fundamental. I will continue to correct your misunderstanding and/or misrepresentation as I see fit. If anybody flees from discussion it will be you. Take my understanding of the term as fundamental or forget having a discussion.And our geese will blot out the sun.
