Re: [asa] YECism and implications for herpetology

I wasn't suggesting that this model was possible... I was thinking more of
the knee-jerk reaction some have when they hear about the mitochondrial
Eve.... "see, the more scientists learn, the more they'll show the Bible is
correct!" I think the assumption is that science will eventually see its
error and place Eve in the Biblical timescale and on the right continent.

I guess I'm looking for the answer a good YEC would give to the questions 1)
where did modern snakes come from? 2) why don't they have legs? and 3) what
did the original Serpent look like?

Except that it is not possible that modern snakes are all
descended from a critter that lost its legs 6 to 10 k
years ago, just like it is not possible that all humans
are descended from a neolithic Adam.

I think the "transitional species" are to be found 150
million years ago.
