Sorry but God calls us humans so He and I disagree with you on the existence of homos sapiens which I have already explained on another thread. So I'm going to have to go with God over you again.

Wouldn't it follow that if god made humans and humans are homo sapiens, then god made homo sapiens. But if god doens't believe in homo sapiens, then god doesn't believe in the humans which he made... Um, I'm confused!
A few hundred years ago, this would have been the other way around. (Imagine the following entirely in Latin, if you will...)
God didn't name us "humans." He named us "man." In fact, he didn't even name us "man," because he wasn't speaking english at the time! If you insist on only using words that god would, Carico, you should be speaking ancient Hebrew.
Names can't be wrong, dipweed. If I call this glass on my table a floobinorp, you have no way of arguing against that definition. Why? Because DEFINITIONS ARE MADE BY INTELLIGENT BEINGS. There are no wrong definitions except insofar as conversing people disagree on definitions. That's all languages are, a compiled list of sounds and their definitions so people can communicate.
If you are wondering why Carico would say something so stupid, she said it to defend what she said a month ago.http://www.fstdt.com/comments.asp?id=12882
\ "'Homo sapiens' is a made-up creature based on skulls with missing pieces. Even criminals can't be convicted on such flimsy evidence. [rolleyes smiley]"
She thought that homo sapiens were a proposed missing link.
I don't believe in asphyxiation, I believe in suffocation.
So I'm going to have to go with God over you again.
Dear Carico, Homo Sapiens is Latin, it means wise (or thinking) human. I can see where you wouldn't believe in the concept. P S it doesn't mean I think I'm queer although it might seem to.
Nekhbet, I think you are on to something. Homo sapiens is latin for wise or thinking human. Carico, being a fundie and having entirely fundie friends and relatives, may not have met any.
"Homo" is the Latin word for human. That's why we call killing people "homicide", and why Pontius Pilate said "ecce homo" (behold man) - John 19:5.
Maybe, but remains found in Africa and evidence from archaeological work say otherwise. Besides, do you have teas with God, to be that sure?
Just on behalf of Christians-- yeah that's a dumb thing to say. Pretty darn, actually. This is coming from somebody who actually believes in the wacky imaginary Bible world, and... yeah, that's a dumb thing to say. And, worse, putting words in God's mouth... that hasn't led to bad things in the past or anything
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
