" ... it seems that the Hebrew word translated "creeping things" has a wide range but understood to mean reptiles, because of the qualifier ...nostrils."

You'd think, wouldn't you, that if God had gone to the effort of creating all of these creatures, his taxonomy would be a bit more exact. You could claim - and no doubt you will, pete - that something of his infinite, omniscient exactitude has been lost in translation but a trifle like translation shouldn't be a problem to an infinite, omniscient being ... should it?

I wouldn't argue with your outline of the Theory of Evolution, DMcG - but pete will. That's because he chooses not to believe it and chooses to believe piffle instead.
