In fact, pretty much every P. cubensis apart from Penis Envy and Albino Penish Envy - PE and APE respectively - have relatively the same amount of psilocybin. Or rather the same amount of differing psilocybin between each mushroom from the same batch grown from whatever variety. \n\nThe reason PE and APE have such higher amounts compared to other Cube varieties is because someone took the time to clone and isolate selective traits and ultimately form monoculture that had the attributes they wanted them to have. Then named them and distributed them. \n\nThis is how every “strain” is generally created. It is just mutations on a particular species which gives the desired look or potency. When these mutations happen the mushroom is cloned on agar plates and further isolated until they get to a monoculture. They will end up with many many many monocultures as it takes a while and many generations of plates and cuts to get there. Then they are grown out and the best performing is kept, named, printed and distributed. \n\nAnyway, yeah. Any particular feeling one has over another in the same species, apart from just generally being stronger or weaker, is in the head. It’s all psilocybin and psilocybin from the same species of mushroom. \n\nEDIT - apparently people are misunderstanding some things. \n\nI am NOT saying that different ***species*** will be the same.

The genetics get really complicated but the upshot is that it's quite difficult to get 'true breeding' inbred lines. In comparison, it's usually trivial in plants to self pollinate.\nFor a little background, enjoy the wonderfully titled **The frequency of sex in fungi** https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5031624/\n\nThe exception here is stuff like the albino cubensis which is easy enough to select for visually, so can be easily distinguished.

However, given that people tend to have so many different things to say between species and strains I wouldn't be surprised if differing ratios of baeosystin and psilocybin/psilocin were somewhat responsible. \n\nWhat I also have found interesting is the descriptions of lib caps being more 'earthy'. I tend to find most cubensis strains to be sort of 'outer-spacey' or 'other-dimensional' at higher doses. \n\nI've also heard time and time again from trippers (myself included) that cubensis gives lots of patterning and imagery reminiscent of meshika/aztec/mayan/meso-american styled artwork and architecture.

Almost all trips are! That’s the beauty! 2: these people generally are not trying different ***kinds*** of mushrooms. And what we are talking about here are not different **kinds**, but the same species just a different variety. They are eating the same exact species. Psilocybe *cubensis*.. the only thing trip-wise that one cube differs from any other cube is potency level. They do NOT contain different alkaloids. You are 100% incorrect on that. Now if we are talking about differences between a Psilocybe cubensis and Psilocybe semilanceata or P. cyanescens or P. azurescens then yeah, these are different *species* and will be different... or when comparing a cube and something like panaeolus cinctulus or even Amanita muscaria which are both of different genus. 3: if you ask any mycologist or any respected member of any grow forum(some of which are mycologists and many of which might as well be with all the research) about this you will get the same or similar response. \n\nI’m not trying to be mean. But you are spreading misinformation. The fact of the matter is that a cube is a cube, trip wise. It’s psilocybin. Many psilocybin trips are going to be different. Even a trip from a monoculture will be different each time. Saying one “strain” feels one way and other fees another just because they are different “strains” is ludicrous. It’s in your head and happening because of how you associate things. And that’s alright. But let’s not spread misinformation when we learn. \n\nEdit - and yes, as the other fellow has mentioned, all this research has been done before. So if you have any evidence of the contrary then I would be willing t listen. If it weren’t so late(and I weren’t just typing this while getting up from sleep to use the bathroom) I would search for some of these findings to provide sources.

I know perfectly well that psilocybin is psilocybin and the main difference between different varieties is potency and ratios of psilocybin and psilocin (all metabolized as psilocin). \n\nAll that aside, I find the persistence of the 'differences' between strains expressed anecdotally to be really fascinating and somewhat worth looking into. Even if it's just from a psychological level, because these anecdotal descriptions are widespread and sometimes surprisingly consistent. \n\nWith tripping mushrooms, it could safely be said that what's 'in your head' has as much or more to do with shaping your experience as the dosage or species/variety. If you are expecting a particular effect based on prior experience or hearsay, that can still have an enormous impact on what you actually experience. It ties into the whole set and setting discussion. To completely dismiss anecdotes of psychedelic experiences as being unworthy of consideration seems to misunderstand exactly what these things are and what they can do.\n\nAll that being said, great info on 'strains'. You've got the science angle down. I know you're just educating people on the science, which is a noble and necessary thing to do. However, there is much more that needs to go into understanding and considering these experiences than the 'facts of the matter', so to speak. \n\nIf you were a moderately trusting and suggestible person who'd never taken mushrooms before and your best friend gave you some and told you that the strain was famous for being \"easy-going, gentle, happy, wise, and filled with light\", and that they personally can vouch for it, I can guarantee that will have almost as meaningful an impact on the nature of the trip as the dose (up to a point). \n\nI just wanted to illuminate that facet of tripping to people reading. What's in your head matters because that is precisely what the effects of psilocybin alter. I personally don't like taking mushrooms from a batch that gave my friends \"bad trips\" (difficult is a better adjective), because, although I know it's the same stuff materially, it is no longer the same psycho-socially to me.

If your body goes through a larger section of the column of water, your feet and your torso will experience very different forces and that will toss you around in uncomfortable and potentially dangerous ways.

On a wave like teahupoo, getting dragged towards it would likely result in getting sucked UP the face of the wave and thrown over the falls, not getting sucked down.

It was usually called \"The Machine\". Each machine cost about three hundred livres to construct. They were usually made of fabric, leather, and stuffing and on occasion they would use actual human bones to form the torso. Various strings and straps serve to simulate the stretching of the birth canal and perineum, to demonstrate the process of childbirth. The head of the infant mannequin has a shaped nose, stitched ears, hair drawn with ink, and an open mouth (with tongue) into which a finger could be inserted to a depth of 5 centimetres (2.0 in).[a] This detail was important, as it allowed the midwife to put two fingers into the mouth, to facilitate the passage of the head in case of a breech presentation. These mannequins were very detailed and also very accurate.[8] The invention is often attributed to Scotsman William Smellie, but the French Academy of Surgeons approved du Coudray's model in 1758 giving her prior claim on the invention.” \n\nWiki: \nhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angélique_du_Coudray", "This woman is fascinating.

Behavior that has been normalized for a long time is now under criticism. Consent is a talking point now in a way that it hasn’t always been in the past. And we have more evidence than ever at how pervasive the sexual abuse of power is in our culture, in entertainment and politics especially. The victims of that abuse have a voice that they never had before, and I think it’s important to listen now that they do.

[ "this plane,\non airport always leaking jet fuel,\non air, every parts expand by heat, and stop leaking fuel.\n\n...engineering.", "That is an amazing warplane.", "[LA Center, Aspen 30. Could we get a ground speed check please?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AyHH9G9et0)", "/sleddriverbot", "https://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/the-sr-71-blackbirds-most-spectacular-flyover-was-also-1719654907\n\n“As a former SR-71 pilot, and a professional keynote speaker, the question I’m most often asked is ‘How fast would that SR-71 fly?’ I can be assured of hearing that question several times at any event I attend. It’s an interesting question, given the aircraft’s proclivity for speed, but there really isn’t one number to give, as the jet would always give you a little more speed if you wanted it to. It was common to see 35 miles a minute.\n\nBecause we flew a programmed Mach number on most missions, and never wanted to harm the plane in any way, we never let it run out to any limits of temperature or speed.. Thus, each SR-71 pilot had his own individual ‘high’ speed that he saw at some point on some mission. I saw mine over Libya when Khadafy fired two missiles my way, and max power was in order. Let’s just say that the plane truly loved speed and effortlessly took us to Mach numbers we hadn’t previously seen.\n\nSo it was with great surprise, when at the end of one of my presentations, someone asked, ‘What was the slowest you ever flew the Blackbird?’ This was a first. After giving it some thought, I was reminded of a story that I had never shared before, and I relayed the following.\n\nI was flying the SR-71 out of RAF Mildenhall, England, with my back-seater, Walt Watson; we were returning from a mission over Europe and the Iron Curtain when we received a radio transmission from home base. As we scooted across Denmark in three minutes, we learned that a small RAF base in the English countryside had requested an SR-71 fly-past. The air cadet commander there was a former Blackbird pilot, and thought it would be a motivating moment for the young lads to see the mighty SR-71 perform a low approach. No problem, we were happy to do it. After a quick aerial refuelling over the North Sea, we proceeded to find the small airfield.\n\nWalter had a myriad of sophisticated navigation equipment in the back seat, and began to vector me toward the field. Descending to subsonic speeds, we found ourselves over a densely wooded area in a slight haze. Like most former WWII British airfields, the one we were looking for had a small tower and little surrounding infrastructure. Walter told me we were close and that I should be able to see the field, but I saw nothing. Nothing but trees as far as I could see in the haze. We got a little lower, and I pulled the throttles back from 325 knots we were at. With the gear up, anything under 275 was just uncomfortable. Walt said we were practically over the field-yet; there was nothing in my windscreen. I banked the jet and started a gentle circling maneuver in hopes of picking up anything that looked like a field. Meanwhile, below, the cadet commander had taken the cadets up on the catwalk of the tower in order to get a prime view of the fly-past. It was a quiet, still day with no wind and partial gray overcast. Walter continued to give me indications that the field should be below us but in the overcast and haze, I couldn’t see it. The longer we continued to peer out the window and circle, the slower we got. With our power back, the awaiting cadets heard nothing. I must have had good instructors in my flying career, as something told me I better cross-check the gauges. As I noticed the airspeed indicator slide below 160 knots, my heart stopped and my adrenalin-filled left hand pushed two throttles full forward. At this point we weren’t really flying, but were falling in a slight bank. Just at the moment that both afterburners lit with a thunderous roar of flame (and what a joyous feeling that was) the aircraft fell into full view of the shocked observers on the tower. Shattering the still quiet of that morning, they now had 107 feet of fire-breathing titanium in their face as the plane levelled and accelerated, in full burner, on the tower side of the infield, closer than expected, maintaining what could only be described as some sort of ultimate knife-edge pass.\n\nQuickly reaching the field boundary, we proceeded back to Mildenhall without incident. We didn’t say a word for those next 14 minutes. After landing, our commander greeted us, and we were both certain he was reaching for our wings. Instead, he heartily shook our hands and said the commander had told him it was the greatest SR-71 fly-past he had ever seen, especially how we had surprised them with such a precise maneuver that could only be described as breathtaking. He said that some of the cadet’s hats were blown off and the sight of the plan form of the plane in full afterburner dropping right in front of them was unbelievable. Walt and I both understood the concept of ‘breathtaking’ very well that morning and sheepishly replied that they were just excited to see our low approach.\n\nAs we retired to the equipment room to change from space suits to flight suits, we just sat there-we hadn’t spoken a word since ‘the pass.’ Finally, Walter looked at me and said, ‘One hundred fifty-six knots. What did you see?’ Trying to find my voice, I stammered, ‘One hundred fifty-two.’ We sat in silence for a moment. Then Walt said, ‘Don’t ever do that to me again!’ And I never did.\n\nA year later, Walter and I were having lunch in the Mildenhall Officer’s club, and overheard an officer talking to some cadets about an SR-71 fly-past that he had seen one day. Of course, by now the story included kids falling off the tower and screaming as the heat of the jet singed their eyebrows. Noticing our HABU patches, as we stood there with lunch trays in our hands, he asked us to verify to the cadets that such a thing had occurred. Walt just shook his head and said, ‘It was probably just a routine low approach; they’re pretty impressive in that plane.’\n\nImpressive indeed.”", "I had the GI Joe version of this plane", "Its held the record of fastest plane for decades. The pilots had to wear space suites. Makes sense because it looks like something straight out of Star Wars.", "haha me too. how freaking cool was that thing.", "Text version: \n\nThere were a lot of things we couldn't do in an SR-71, but we were the fastest guys on the block and loved reminding our fellow aviators of this fact. People often asked us if, because of this fact, it was fun to fly the jet. Fun would not be the first word I would use to describe flying this plane. Intense, maybe. Even cerebral. But there was one day in our Sled experience when we would have to say that it was pure fun to be the fastest guys out there, at least for a moment.\n\nIt occurred when Walt and I were flying our final training sortie. We needed 100 hours in the jet to complete our training and attain Mission Ready status. Somewhere over Colorado we had passed the century mark. We had made the turn in Arizona and the jet was performing flawlessly. My gauges were wired in the front seat and we were starting to feel pretty good about ourselves, not only because we would soon be flying real missions but because we had gained a great deal of confidence in the plane in the past ten months. Ripping across the barren deserts 80,000 feet below us, I could already see the coast of California from the Arizona border. I was, finally, after many humbling months of simulators and study, ahead of the jet.\n\nI was beginning to feel a bit sorry for Walter in the back seat. There he was, with no really good view of the incredible sights before us, tasked with monitoring four different radios. This was good practice for him for when we began flying real missions, when a priority transmission from headquarters could be vital. It had been difficult, too, for me to relinquish control of the radios, as during my entire flying career I had controlled my own transmissions. But it was part of the division of duties in this plane and I had adjusted to it. I still insisted on talking on the radio while we were on the ground, however. Walt was so good at many things, but he couldn't match my expertise at sounding smooth on the radios, a skill that had been honed sharply with years in fighter squadrons where the slightest radio miscue was grounds for beheading. He understood that and allowed me that luxury.\n\nJust to get a sense of what Walt had to contend with, I pulled the radio toggle switches and monitored the frequencies along with him. The predominant radio chatter was from Los Angeles Center, far below us, controlling daily traffic in their sector. While they had us on their scope (albeit briefly), we were in uncontrolled airspace and normally would not talk to them unless we needed to descend into their airspace.\n\nWe listened as the shaky voice of a lone Cessna pilot asked Center for a readout of his ground speed. Center replied: \"November Charlie 175, I'm showing you at ninety knots on the ground.\"\n\nNow the thing to understand about Center controllers, was that whether they were talking to a rookie pilot in a Cessna, or to Air Force One, they always spoke in the exact same, calm, deep, professional, tone that made one feel important. I referred to it as the \" Houston Center voice.\" I have always felt that after years of seeing documentaries on this country's space program and listening to the calm and distinct voice of the Houston controllers, that all other controllers since then wanted to sound like that, and that they basically did. And it didn't matter what sector of the country we would be flying in, it always seemed like the same guy was talking. Over the years that tone of voice had become somewhat of a comforting sound to pilots everywhere. Conversely, over the years, pilots always wanted to ensure that, when transmitting, they sounded like Chuck Yeager, or at least like John Wayne. Better to die than sound bad on the radios.\n\nJust moments after the Cessna's inquiry, a Twin Beech piped up on frequency, in a rather superior tone, asking for his ground speed. \"I have you at one hundred and twenty-five knots of ground speed.\" Boy, I thought, the Beechcraft really must think he is dazzling his Cessna brethren. Then out of the blue, a navy F-18 pilot out of NAS Lemoore came up on frequency. You knew right away it was a Navy jock because he sounded very cool on the radios. \"Center, Dusty 52 ground speed check\". Before Center could reply, I'm thinking to myself, hey, Dusty 52 has a ground speed indicator in that million-dollar cockpit, so why is he asking Center for a readout? Then I got it, ol' Dusty here is making sure that every bug smasher from Mount Whitney to the Mojave knows what true speed is. He's the fastest dude in the valley today, and he just wants everyone to know how much fun he is having in his new Hornet. And the reply, always with that same, calm, voice, with more distinct alliteration than emotion: \"Dusty 52, Center, we have you at 620 on the ground.\"\n\nAnd I thought to myself, is this a ripe situation, or what? As my hand instinctively reached for the mic button, I had to remind myself that Walt was in control of the radios. Still, I thought, it must be done - in mere seconds we'll be out of the sector and the opportunity will be lost. That Hornet must die, and die now. I thought about all of our Sim training and how important it was that we developed well as a crew and knew that to jump in on the radios now would destroy the integrity of all that we had worked toward becoming. I was torn.\n\nSomewhere, 13 miles above Arizona, there was a pilot screaming inside his space helmet. Then, I heard it. The click of the mic button from the back seat. That was the very moment that I knew Walter and I had become a crew. Very professionally, and with no emotion, Walter spoke: \"Los Angeles Center, Aspen 20, can you give us a ground speed check?\" There was no hesitation, and the replay came as if was an everyday request. \"Aspen 20, I show you at one thousand eight hundred and forty-two knots, across the ground.\"\n\nI think it was the forty-two knots that I liked the best, so accurate and proud was Center to deliver that information without hesitation, and you just knew he was smiling. But the precise point at which I knew that Walt and I were going to be really good friends for a long time was when he keyed the mic once again to say, in his most fighter-pilot-like voice: \"Ah, Center, much thanks, we're showing closer to nineteen hundred on the money.\"\n\nFor a moment Walter was a god. And we finally heard a little crack in the armor of the Houston Center voice, when L.A.came back with, \"Roger that Aspen, Your equipment is probably more accurate than ours. You boys have a good one.\"\n\nIt all had lasted for just moments, but in that short, memorable sprint across the southwest, the Navy had been flamed, all mortal airplanes on freq were forced to bow before the King of Speed, and more importantly, Walter and I had crossed the threshold of being a crew. A fine day's work. We never heard another transmission on that frequency all the way to the coast.\n\nFor just one day, it truly was fun being the fastest guys out there.", "My high school physics teacher flew Blackbirds back in the day. Crazy dude, crazy planes.", "This is one of my favorites. I thought I'd find this in the comments as soon as I saw the post. Thanks OP!", "I had the Testor's version...", "That explains why mine leaked oil on my driveway. Thanks.", "wow. are you pilot this airplane?

His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.\n\nYou have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.\n\nThen you cross Rainbow Bridge together.\n\n", "I'm so sorry ♥️ rip", "It happened to me to.

Not only that, a global flood wouldn't leave multiple layers compacted like this. You would see one large layer of sediment, including shitloads of dead animals (again nobody has ever found anything like that on a global level). We do see mass extinction events, some of them global, but as expected they contain animals from the time period in which the event happened. You don't see a layer that contains primates and dinosaurs for instance.\n\nIt is likely that the flood mentioned in Genesis / Gilgamesh were localized events that became exaggerated through myth making.

Both of these rock types require low energy conditions during deposition.

So if it’s shale, at the time of deposition, we would be in a deep water environment where the organic matter (what makes it black) is preserved in a deep, low energy, anoxic environment. If it’s coal, it’s more than likely we’d be in a continental “swamp” like setting which also harbours low energy and anoxic conditions. Also, if it is coal, an associated shale/siltstone/mudstone may be interbedded. Of course this all is predicated on the fact that relative sea level fluctuates allowing once continental material to be overlapped by deep ocean material (let’s say shale) in the same location due to a sea level rise.

However, according to the Bible, the earth and the universe existed before the six days of creation. (Genesis 1:1) For that reason, we have no objection to credible scientific research that indicates the earth may be billions of years old.\n\n\n\nThe Genesis account opens with the simple, powerful statement: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) A number of Bible scholars agree that this statement describes an action separate from the creative days recounted from verse 3 onward. The implication is profound. According to the Bible’s opening words, the universe, including our planet, Earth, was in existence for an indefinite time before the creative days began.\n\nGeologists estimate that the earth is 4 billion years old, and astronomers calculate that the universe may be as much as 15 billion years old. Do these findings​—or their potential future refinements—​contradict Genesis 1:1? No. The Bible does not specify the actual age of “the heavens and the earth.” Science is not at odds with the Biblical text.\n\n\nMany people claim that science disproves the Bible’s account of creation. However, the real contradiction is, not between science and the Bible, but between science and the opinions of Christian Fundamentalists. Some of these groups falsely assert that according to the Bible, all physical creation was produced in six 24-hour days approximately 10,000 years ago.\n\nThe Bible, however, does not support such a conclusion. If it did, then many scientific discoveries over the past one hundred years would indeed discredit the Bible. A careful study of the Bible text reveals no conflict with established scientific facts. For that reason, some disagree with Christian Fundamentalists and many creationists. The following shows what the Bible really teaches.\n\n\n\nWhat about the length of the creative days? Were they literally 24 hours long? Some claim that because Moses​—the writer of Genesis—​later referred to the day that followed the six creative days as a model for the weekly Sabbath, each of the creative days must be literally 24 hours long. (Exodus 20:11) Does the wording of Genesis support this conclusion?\n\nNo, it does not. The fact is that the Hebrew word translated “day” can mean various lengths of time, not just a 24-hour period. For example, when summarizing God’s creative work, Moses refers to all six creative days as one day. (Genesis 2:4) In addition, on the first creative day, “God began calling the light Day, but the darkness he called Night.” (Genesis 1:5) Here, only a portion of a 24-hour period is defined by the term “day.” Certainly, there is no basis in Scripture for arbitrarily stating that each creative day was 24 hours long.\n\nHow long, then, were the creative days? The Bible does not say; however, the wording of Genesis chapters 1 and 2 indicates that considerable lengths of time were involved.\n", "Photoshop?", "I love limestone. \n\nIt'd be \"limestein\" if I had my way.

According to the Bible’s opening words, the universe, including our planet, Earth, was in existence for an indefinite time before the creative days began.\n\nGeologists estimate that the earth is 4 billion years old, and astronomers calculate that the universe may be as much as 15 billion years old. Do these findings​—or their potential future refinements—​contradict Genesis 1:1? No. The Bible does not specify the actual age of “the heavens and the earth.” Science is not at odds with the Biblical text.\n\nMany people claim that science disproves the Bible’s account of creation. However, the real contradiction is, not between science and the Bible, but between science and the opinions of Christian Fundamentalists. Some of these groups falsely assert that according to the Bible, all physical creation was produced in six 24-hour days approximately 10,000 years ago.\n\nThe Bible, however, does not support such a conclusion. If it did, then many scientific discoveries over the past one hundred years would indeed discredit the Bible. A careful study of the Bible text reveals no conflict with established scientific facts. For that reason, some disagree with Christian Fundamentalists and many creationists. The following shows what the Bible really teaches.\n\n", "Haha okay. Continue to believe you evolved from a rock.

As the atmosphere cleared, by the third “day” of creation, the light was strong enough to support photosynthesis. (Genesis 1:3-5, 12, 13) Only later did the sun become distinctly visible from the surface of the earth.—Genesis 1:16.\n\nA careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.” For example, before the first creative “day” started, light from the already existing sun was somehow prevented from reaching the earth’s surface, possibly by thick clouds. (Job 38:9) During the first “day,” this barrier began to clear, allowing diffused light to penetrate the atmosphere.*\n\nOn the second “day,” the atmosphere evidently continued to clear, creating a space between the thick clouds above and the ocean below. On the fourth “day,” the atmosphere gradually cleared to such an extent that the sun and the moon were made to appear “in the expanse of the heavens.” (Genesis 1:14-16) In other words, from the perspective of a person on earth, the sun and moon began to be discernible. These events happened gradually.\n\nThe Genesis account also relates that as the atmosphere continued to clear, flying creatures​—including insects and membrane-winged creatures—​started to appear on the fifth “day.”\n\nThe Bible’s narrative allows for the possibility that some major events during each day, or creative period, occurred gradually rather than instantly, perhaps some of them even lasting into the following creative days.\n\nFor example, during the sixth creative day, God decreed that humans “become many and fill the earth.” (Genesis 1:28, 31) Yet, this event did not even begin to occur until the following “day.”​—Genesis 2:2.\n\n\n\nEDIT: Although the Bible is not a science book it can and does concord with scientific data in many ways.\n\n\nSo the timeline would be-\n\n\n\n THE BEGINNING\n The material heavens and earth are created.—Genesis 1:1.\n Earth formless and dark\n\n DARKNESS\n The earth is formless, desolate, and dark.—Genesis 1:2.\n\n\n\n Day 1: light; day and night\n FIRST DAY\n Diffused light evidently penetrates the earth’s atmosphere. If there had been any observer on the surface of the earth, the sources of light would have been imperceptible to him. Yet, the difference between night and day became discernible.—Genesis 1:3-5.\n\n\n Day 2: expanse\n SECOND DAY\n The earth is covered with water and a dense mantle of vapor. These two elements are separated, creating a gap between the watery surface and the canopy of vapor. The Bible describes this space as “an expanse between the waters,” and calls it “Heaven.”—Genesis 1:6-8.\n\n\n Day 3: dry land and vegetation\n THIRD DAY\n Surface water subsides and dry ground appears. The atmosphere clears up to allow more sunlight to reach the ground. Some vegetation appears, with new species sprouting through the third and subsequent creative days.—Genesis 1:9-13.\n\n\n Day 4: heavenly luminaries\n FOURTH DAY\n The sun and moon become discernible from the earth’s surface.—Genesis 1:14-19.\n\n\n\n Day 5: fish and birds\n FIFTH DAY\n God creates underwater creatures and flying creatures in great numbers with the ability to procreate within their kinds.—Genesis 1:20-23.\n\n\n\n Day 6: land animals and humans\n SIXTH DAY\n Land animals are created, both large and small. The sixth day culminates with God’s physical creation: the first human couple.—Genesis 1:24-31.\n\n", "Its a starfish", "Urgh, facts.

Also, I can't get your link to work, but I am aware of creationists' love of Mount St Helens as evidence of a young Earth and instant sedimentary layers formation.\n \nIf you're suggesting that all the examples we have around the globe of many sedimentary layers representing millions of years of time are actually evidence of catastrophies and the layers being laid down in a short amount of time, you're wrong. There's several important factors here that help support the idea that it takes millions of years to lay down this type of sedimentary layers. Firstly, radiometric dating doesn't work on sedimentary rock because it's composed of different types of rocks formed at different times and eroded down. However, radiometric dating is extremely accurate for igneous rocks, and when we examine a stack of sedimentary layers, we find igneous rocks in various layers. Since we can date these rocks, we can determine the approximate age of the sedimentary layer that encases these rocks. \n \nIf you're thinking that maybe Mount St. Helens offers proof that the Earth isn't 4.5 billion years old, I'm sorry, it doesn't. There's several lines of evidence that lead to the age of the Earth being about 4.5 billion years old. See [this link](http://www.kgs.ku.edu/Extension/geotopics/earth_age.html) for some quick information on the age of the Earth. The different isotopes of lead on Earth can be used to confirm the age of the Earth (see the previous link).\n\nThis may be a bit off topic, but if you look at where fossils are found, in regards to the sedimentary layers they're found in, we find that more primitive species are always found further down the layers than more complex species, and as you move up in the layers, certain species stop appearing because they went extinct, and new species start appearing as they evolved. There's never once been a credible instance of a fossil being found out of place in the sedimentary layers. We're talking about evolution of species that necessitates millions of years of time. \n \nAnother interesting thing about sedimentary layers is that patterns in the layers can be matched up in different parts of the globe and used to \"daisy chain through time\" to help determine the relative age of rock layers in different locations on the Earth.", "You rang?", "Very gneiss, one might say.", "That's a really interesting and thoughtful answer.

God never cites a mechanism for speciation, thus there is none. Species were created and firmly planted as such with no crossovers as predicted by evolution (and there's no evidence of \"crossover\" species, ie macroevolution)\n\nHowever, the one thing creation scientists can never explain (or seem to agree on) is the stars. Star age, how we can see light even though it would take millions of years to get here, etc etc. Also there's a strange obsession with creationism how they can't see new stars forming as in \"if you observe a patch of space with your naked eye, if the universe was billions of years old and space is infinitely large then statistically we should see a star form in the sky before our very own eyes at least once, but it's never been observed\".

There is a reason people believe\n\nActually as a side-point, there's an interesting question right there there. *Why* is religious belief so widespread, both now and throughout history? What's are the root causes there?\n\n - It can't be the *inherent truth* of a thing. After all - scores of demonstrably false things have been held as true for centuries. Such as believing that [the body has humours that must be balanced](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humorism) or that [geocentrism is a thing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocentric_model). The number of people believing it to be true gives no weight to its validity.\n\n - It can't be something that's in all of us from the beginning. As children raised alone or even feral do not spontaneously generate belief structures. \n\n - It can't be due to the influence of a single entity. As different cultures across different times have developed widely different belief structures and creeds. And those structures continue to divide and fragment into ever more opposing camps with few commonalities. \n\nSo what's the cause here. What's the deal?\n\nEvolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins proposed two possible mechanisms that might be working together to explain the presence of such widespread belief.\n\n - **Giving sentience to random or unknown stimuli may have had significant evolutionary utility.** If 200,000 years ago, a bush rustles in a forest and you treat it as alive (and therefore a possible threat), well 9 times out of 10 it'll just be the wind. No skin off your bones! But 1 in 10 times it would be a predator. Therefore those who did not imbue said bush with sentience would run a higher risk of death. Meaning their more skeptical genes would not be passed to the next generation, and the superstitious ones did instead. Therefore this goes a long way to explain why there are thousands of spirits, gods, ghosts and animal guides for every type of natural phenomenon - from storms, to lightning, to fire, to wind. We're hard-wired to make them. To see sentience and *intent* in natural systems that have none.\n\n - **Children are also predisposed to follow the instructions of their elders.** But at the same time have no way of filtering out bad advice. For example, if an older human tells a child *\"don't pick up snakes\"*, that child has no way to distinguish that from silly advice, such as \"bow down 5 times a day and pray to the fire god\". They obey, because the children that ignored the advice died and did not pass on their genes. And by the time they reach adulthood, well...it's woven into their identity. Children's minds are malleable. Adults not so much.\n\nSo together, these two traits worked together to bring religiosity to the world. It's in our nature to see sentience where it doesn't exist and as children, to absorb it.\n\nBut while these traits served us well in the pre-agricultural days, they not quite as useful now.

It's about having enough data points, and then from there drawing predictions which always turn to be accurate.\n\nYou don't need every single species perfectly tracked in the taxonomic record. You just need enough to be able to make clear predictions that are subsequently proven to be true. And evolution specifically is one of the best theories for this. It's so well represented and demonstrably true. Thousands...if not tens of thousands of examples can be observed. One of the most notable and interesting example of evolution in action would be [Darwin's Finches.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin%27s_finches)\n\nHeck, a single fossil that in a layer of rock where it's not supposed to be (like say...finding a bunny rabbit in a layer of rock that's millions of years old) has the power to immediately bring the whole thing crashing down.
