The_Squid Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) The wild stuff is quite a bit more "gamey", I understand. Wouldnt know, I dont eat rodentia. You don't eat animals from the order Rodentia, but do you eat rabbits? Rabbits are not rodents. Edited January 20, 2013 by The_Squid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Squid Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 The bible is wrong about the animals that we should eat, due to modern food safety, perhaps? Completely understandable. Modern society also does not condone slavery anymore, unlike the bible. Nor should we stone adulterers... So, as society has changed for the better, religion has had to keep pace,often kicking and screaming about the changes. The bible is constantly being left behind by societal changes in the western world and the religious institutions are forced to change their thinking as well or risk becoming even less relevant. The societal change on how gays and lesbians are viewed is a case in point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Manny Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 You don't eat animals from the order Rodentia, but do you eat rabbits? Rabbits are not rodents. Thats debateable, eh. Your biologists did at one time classify them as rodents, but then changed their mindz. New research indicates they have a common ancestor, and belong to the same order. Same as squirrels, and rats.

Rabbits have not been classified as rodents since the early 1900's and I don't think there is any debate about it... The bible isn't wrong. It was clearly right, rabbits eat their own grunt. No need to be obstinate, please indulge in piles of recycled rat tart. Nearly every bible refers to cud, not poop. It's ok for the bible to be wrong. It's old and outdated about many, many things.

Sleipnir Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 The wild stuff is quite a bit more "gamey", I understand. Wouldnt know, I dont eat rodentia. Rabbits are not in the order of Rodentia, instead they fall into the order of Lagomorpha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Manny Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Weve already been over all those points, no reason for me to reiterate whats been said. New evidence shows rabbits share a common ancestot with rats etc. I already told you that too. But you dont acknowledge even when your own scientists tell you something that doesnt fit your personal views. You folks are not even consistent within your own game.

cybercoma Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Can we all agree that hares and rabbits are no the same animal at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Manny Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Do you have any proof to back up your claim? Yes. But you have been helped enough in this thread already. Feel free to google or wikipedia it yourself, if you need to. Suugest you take some intiative, and report back to us.

Sleipnir Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Feel free to google or wikipedia it yourself, if you need to. In other words, you can't provide proof of your claim. You don't even know the basic of taxonomic phylogeny - let along interpreting or understanding it. Suugest you take some intiative, and report back to us. Far be it from me to hamper your learning experience Now you're just trolling. Edited January 21, 2013 by Sleipnir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ignored the common ancestor thing because it was irrelevant to their taxonomic classification. We share a common ancestor with rats too, at some point. Doesn't mean we're in the same Order as rodents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Manny Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Oh so you did look it up. I guess you'll retract your statement then, that I have nothing to back up my claims. I shouldnt have to provide proof of something as basic as scientific evidence. The fact you chose to "ignore" science is your choice.

Guest Manny Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Or that they don't know what they're talking about. Rabbits and beavers the same thing? Rubbish. Rabbits, rats, beavers. I did look it up briefly, back in that earlier discussion. I don't know if any of you folks did likewise. But since you keep resurrecting it, let me put it to rest for you. Here is what the science says- "Rabbits and hares were formerly classified in the order Rodentia (rodent) until 1912, when they were moved into a new order Lagomorpha. Carl Linnaeus originally grouped rabbits and rodents under the class Glires; later, they were separated as the predominant opinion was that many of their similarities were a result of convergent evolution. However, recent DNA analysis and the discovery of a common ancestor has supported the view that they share a common lineage, and thus rabbits and rodents are now often referred to together as members of the superclass Glires."

Guest Manny Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 They used to be rodents. Now they are the same order as rodents. Yes all animals are animals. But we are not in that same order. Thats science Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
