unto the nth generation....
ON one anti-evolution site, i forget which, i was on walk-about, someone points out that God commanded that kind reproduce with kind ONLY. That it's illegal for something to make whoopy smoochies with something not of its kind.
As proof that this applies to the world as we experience it, they point out that hybrids of two kinds are always infertile. They mention mules specifically. This is supposed to be a problem for evolution.
Now, if it isn't really a fact, would that make it a problem for creationism?
First off, wouldn't it make more sense if it was just impossible to cross breed outside of one's kind? I mean, it's just a matter of protein sequencing that makes an egg accept sperm, right? And then the DNA compatibility...I'm not sure why Jehovah, who's big on absolutes, allows these abominations to exist for just one generation. It'd be a far more crushing blow to 'common ancestry' if every divergent species was completely apart and separate.
But second, as a matter of fact, not all mules are infertile. Some jennies are capable of reproducing. So, the abominations can last at least another generation...
On the above site, females of lion-tiger hybrids are also often fertile. Well, 'often' being a much abused word with respect to such rare events as lion-tiger smoochies. But they seem to be able to cross-abominate for a few generations.
And while i don't know of any formal studies, the last three naval bases i served on were rife with some cats that had distinctly raccoon markings. I've certainly seen some cats having smoochies with raccoons, and some non-consensual smoochies with a rabbit or two. Not sure if the cacoon looking things were actually the product of such events, or just really, really, really feral tabbies, or if they were fertile. But certainly weird...
Anywhoo, gotta say that if God's going to be making us obey the rules, you'd think he could at least get horses and donkeys to.
