I would sincerely like to know what the literalists among us make of this site and its comments. Does mistranslation or misguided schlarship make any real difference? Or is there something else at work that needs to be mentioned? or - well, you know - whatever!

 

thanks in advance for any reasoned analysis.

Interesting site. I'm not sure what the whole point of the page is, though.

 

Animals adapt to their environment. If the environment changes then either the animal adapts to those changes or moves to another area or dies. I'm not a scientist but is seems pretty simple to me. Early Environmental Science!

 

A joyous New Year to all!

adaptation to the point where the name that fit one species needs to be changed to another? is THAT different from evolution? or...?

 

if you read the entries here, you find descriptions of misinterpretations of words from original Biblical text. Since my understanding of Biblical literalism is that there are no errors in the given and inspired Word, I'm wondering what the view of this kind of corrective information is.

 

If one explanation is evolution - well, I, for one, am happy to hear it.
