Fish Or Whale?

Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
(Jonah 1:17) KJV

For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth,
(Matthew 12:40) KJV

In spherogenetic systematics Fish is a higher rank than Whale. The fish of the sea is everything created in the hydrosphere. Whale is a subcategory. The thing that swallowed Jonah was both a fish and a whale.

Great Whales

And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
(Genesis 1:21) KJV

The reptile/mammal transition isn’t evolution, there’s no passage of heritable traits from generation to generation, it’s abiogenesis. It illustrates the use of spherogenetic systematics as a deductive tool.

The New “Scientific Knowledge”

Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
(Lamentations 4:3) KJV

A new definition of “scientific knowledge” has arisen in post-Hawking mainstream science (SciPop) thanks to atheist science trolls (ASTs) scientifically illiterate science worshipers (SISWs) and SciPop devotees.

Scientific knowledge: anecdotal evidence combined with probability means it’s a reasonable assumption.
– a definition for the post-Hawking mainstream science Trekkie generation (SciPop)

From the Water to the Air

Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
(Psalms 74:13) KJV

The first fliers are intended to fly with periods of roosting. They needed well-developed wings and feet but not arms. Logically the first aerial dragon had two legs but no arms. It was a Wyvern.

Synapomorphy or Sinapomorphy?

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
(Romans 5:12) KJV

Given that synapomorphies only occur after the process of evolution has started, and evolution is a consequence of sin, it’s appropriate to change the spelling of synapomorphy to sinapomorphy.

Bats are Birds?

And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; Every raven after his kind; And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
(Leviticus 11:13-19) KJV

People have found many ingenious reasons to reject the truth of the Bible. There are also some which aren’t ingenious, not by a long shot.

The Reason for Death

And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
(Genesis 2:8-9) ESV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) use deductive reasoning to resolve supposed conflicts between the Bible and what people refer to as “science” but which we’ve isolated and identified to be THE NARRATIVE (SciPop).

God Planted a Garden

Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the East, and there he put the man he had formed.
(Genesis 2:8) Good News Translation

The traditional battle line of the science vs. faith debate is creation vs. evolution. However, science requires faith, and evolution is an integral part of the creation narrative.

Primitive or Advanced?

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
(Galatians 5:1) KJV

Cladistic phylogenetic analysis works by grouping species based on shared derived characteristics (synapomorphies). All of the members of a homologous group have a common ancestor. In this way it’s possible to develop a phylogenetic tree.

Archaeopteris (Dawson): A case study in the applicability of phylogenetic analysis to fossil taxa

We didn’t realize it at the time, but the first nail we hammered into the lid on the coffin of our scientific career was a paper that we wrote about using cladistic phylogenetic analysis to study the Devonian fossil Archaeopteris.
