You also appear to be wrong about anteaters not taking to well to getting bit by ants, it appears they have a natural defense about it, which is eating the ants so fast that they don't have a chance to sting.
anteaters
Reason 2. Anteaters are excellent at cunnilingus.
Reason 4. Anteaters look awesome.
Reason 5. Baby Anteaters are the cutest thing in history.
The anteater uses its sharp claws to tear an opening into an anthill and put its long snout and efficient tongue to work. But it has to eat quickly, flicking its tongue up to 160 times per minute. Ants fight back with painful stings, so an anteater may spend only a minute feasting on each mound.
To avoid the jaws, sting, and other defences of the invertebrates, anteaters have adopted the feeding strategy to lick up as many ants and termites as quickly as possible — an anteater normally spends about a minute at a nest before moving on to another — and a giant anteater has to visit up to 200 nests to consume the thousands of insects it needs to satisfy its caloric requirements. [6]
That depends, if he is only spending about 2 minutes per nest, thats only 400 minutes. Humans actually spend more time than that eating in a day. We also spend more time preparing the meal, harvesting the meal, cooking the meal, packaging, delivering, and processing our dishes. I think he beat us paws down.
So....in reality it has no defence other then eat as quick as I can and get the fudge outta there. A strategy...not a defence. Also because of the stings, it must visit up to 200nests / day. Sounds like alot of work for some provided target food.
There is speculation through the eyes of evolution that there is a relation there. Again it's not proof.
Also, please explain why there are 4 different SPECIES ( they can't breed together) of anteater. Please explain why it has been proven without a doubt, that anteaters are related to sloths and armadillos.
They could have all been brought here, or its even possible that they are from all different planets as well.
Were 4 different species of anteater brought here? Why are they related to other existing species?

Ants are social insects of the family Formicidae (play /fɔrˈmɪsɨdiː/) and, along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenoptera. Ants evolved from wasp-like ancestors in the mid-Cretaceous period between 110 and 130 million years ago and diversified after the rise of flowering plants. More than 12,500 out of an estimated total of 22,000 species have been classified.

We don't have target food, thats allready been proven, there are other species that don't as well. Its odd how Dog is supposed to be mans best friend, and he too doesn't have any target food. We have to actually manufacture food for him. Is it possible that he has always been mans best friend since we were placed together?
Thats easy, its not natural. We have to use other tools, and electricty, and large machines to make tools so that we can complete tasks, its very redundant, and its not natural, there is no way it was intended.
No we don't, we used a bucket, and a pale and sometimes gloves, and othertimes we use a large processing machine, and pasturization, and homogenization and fortify the milk so no your wrong, its not natural.
You have to plan ahead because your not in your natural enviroment.
No but the fact that humans have been excluded from the term natural is also proof in itself that we are not natural to this planet.
Technology makes things easier, hum, I wonder why we would feel the need to make things easier, you can see your just a day late and a dollar short in understanding whats going on here.
There could be so many nests lined up that there is no time to search.
You've forgot the time to dig, time to find and time to travel to the 200 nests....
The links you supplied aren't reputable, they are written by evolutionists.
No evidence or facts supplied....only your opinion. I've supplied reputabe links and information, you have not. Try again.
Thats right, and from what I read they don't need any.
Facts I supplied:
anteaters have no defence to the stinging of the ants.
Just because there are close simularitys doesn't prove anything.
there are 4 different SPECIES of anteaters ( yet all related, so no different planet excuse)
anteaters are POSITIVELY related to sloths and armadillos
I have a better idea, since your so bent on being sure that evolution occured, please explain to me how you know it occured to the anteaters, and also explalin why it didn't happen to humans.
Answer those claims with FACTS to refute them. I want a HUGE post with LEGIT links and info on the life of the anteater, the history, and genetic lineage, if you continue to use him as your proof. While supplying those LEGIT links and info, I want you to then explain how it fits in with your "target food proves evolution wrong".
Well thats sort of funny, I was going to say the same thing to you. All you have done is present links associated with evolutionists. Do you have any that don't apply to that region that still happen to agree with you like all my claims do?
You have yet to provide any substantiated facts or independent observation to back up your claim and thread title. Do it! Your opinion is crap here....
Your ETA is rejected as I'm not able to find anything to base it on. But it doesn't shock me that someone on the evolution side is doing some assuming again.
~ETA~ So you spend 400 mins = 6.7hrs / day ( not including travel and hunting time) simply eating? Yes the anteater has it easy.....
Hes a different species.
I forgot to ask...what's up with the aardvark?
All brought here.
Something else strange...there are an estimated 22,000 species of ants ( they can't breed together). Does this mean all 22,000 species were brought here as well? Also, just like the lineage of the anteater, ants have relatives here on earth...i.e wasps and bees. Explain this please.
Any link making a claim that a species changed into another species, is pure bunk. There have never been any completed tests that prove a species to change into another, in fact anytime that serious changes would occur, the species would die fast. There have never been any tests that prove that species change.
Notice my use of reputable links and quoted material that confirms my direct claim? Follow suit please
And no, it's not speculation it's proven.
And just for fun here's a link to the definition of natural:
Really, lets compare.

Oh yeah, it's a childless question. What you don't understand is that nothing was ever reduced in the quality of our lives, except when impact events and other natural disasters happened. From the dawn of humanity, things were tough, ie competition in nature, but life has been gradually getting easier and easier as science becomes a bigger part of society.
It's impossible to prove something didn't go extinct. The best proof is that we have no record, or knowledge of it ever happening.
You haven't proven a single thing. Prove that human's target food didn't go extinct. That was your excuse when it was PROVEN that most other creature do not have what you call "target food". You can't just talk about something wishfully and hope it's true. You need evidence.
Target food was already proven back when there was no basis found for integrated diet.
1. Prove target food exists - not done
If you don't have anything to eat, its a pretty good clue you aren't from here, considering others do have food.
2. Prove target food determines whether or not a creature is from earth - not done
They probably are, its just that redundant adaptation is not.
3. Prove that human hands and intelligence are not our primary strength as a species - not done
Cows milk is natural to baby cows. You don't see other species sucking off the teat of other species.
4. Prove that milk is not natural - not done
You must be referring to the fact that google definitions seperates humans from the light of anything natural. I don't know, I didn't write the definition I'm just following it.
5. Prove that not natural means not from earth - not done
There is no way we can all have preprogrammed diets, with the understanding of evolution.
6. Prove how this imaginary concept proves evolution wrong - not done
Actually I backed it up with proof from several pages of diet of many species, they all have scheduled diets.
Basically you haven't provided evidence for a single one of those concepts other than your own opinion. Sorry that doesn't work in the real world.
Well the fact that man has been purposly removed from that picture of anything natural is an eye opener for sure. Now you may not fully understand what it means but I do.
Thats easy, its not natural. We have to use other tools, and electricty, and large machines to make tools so that we can complete tasks, its very redundant, and its not natural, there is no way it was intended.
You just repeated the same thing again. What does not natural (aka man made) have to do with intent! Natural only means not MAN MADE. Stop assuming it means 'not from earth'. It doesn't. It simply means it was created by humans. That's all! That doesn't mean it doesn't belong with nature. It's just a descriptive term to separate man made technology from mother nature. Humans = natural.
Sure if they wan't to take a chance on dying, did you not see the link I posted about all the fresh milk deaths? Now do you really need to ask yourself, is your food supposed to kill you?
No we don't, we used a bucket, and a pale and sometimes gloves, and othertimes we use a large processing machine, and pasturization, and homogenization and fortify the milk so no your wrong, its not natural.
Sometimes. Do you deny that humans can drink milk straight out of the cow? How did they do it in the past before technology? Keep digging the hole deeper. Too late to ever climb out and redeem yourself. You've gone off the deep end and as always you can't prove a single thing.
We plan ahead because we have to or die. You never see the anteater planning ahead, ever wonder why?
You have to plan ahead because your not in your natural enviroment.
NO, tooth. You are completely wrong. We plan ahead because it's convenient and makes our lives better. It's called using our intelligence to our advantage.
But if you throw in an animal, in that picture, you can keep the word natural, its only when man is in it that its not. Now why is it that man is not considered to be natural to things? Because we aren't naturally from here.
No but the fact that humans have been excluded from the term natural is also proof in itself that we are not natural to this planet.
We haven't been excluded. Humans ARE natural. We just use the terms to distinguish human made machines from nature. It doesn't mean we aren't from earth. You have no clue whatsoever as to what natural even means.
Of course we want to enjoy luxery, its something we don't naturaly get like other species do. Do you think the anteater worrys about luxery? He just goes out and eats when he gets hungry. Not us, its very complicated, first we have to find a job, then work the job, then cash our check, then go to the store to buy food we need. Granted we are to blame for making all these steps, but the question becomes why in the world would we do such a thing, because its easier? Easier then what?
We don't NEED to make it easier, we WANT to make it easier. We're smart enough to realize this. For 95+% of our history on earth, we were part of the competition in nature just like every other creature. You keep thinking that convenience and all of the other things based on our intelligence are done out of need. They aren't. They are done because we enjoy luxury. Why is this so hard to grasp
In other words we are not natural in nature.
The whole 'humans aren't natural' thing is a tricky subject. All that natural means is that something occurs in nature without human intervention
But why would we be living in our own little world when we are supposedly living on a planet that was meant for us?
Basically, what we are doing is using our ability to document and categorize the term to separate humans in our own little world and describe the difference between nature and human technology.
You can sugar coat it, but the fact is the definitinon clearly seperates us from anything else considered natural.
What Tooth is essentially doing here is using the word natural to make it seem like we don't belong. Since it's just a categorizing system implement by us, it doesn't really mean that unnatural = bad or not from earth. It just means man made.
Of course things came from nature, where else where they going to come from?
Take a look at technology and its roots. Every thing we design and create does indeed come from nature.
Ignoring the fact there is no such thing as an evolutionist that is a word made up by idiots and used by them to act as if evolution is not part of biology and science in general.
The links you supplied aren't reputable, they are written by evolutionists.

Nope. He did not lie he supplied you with valid information and you have not got the intelligence to understand it or the wit to challenge your own insane delusion on this subject.

On the contrary, you would be wrong. The whole problem was faith, and how not everyone believed in it, so you would be wrong again. But there you go making assumptions before you really think things through.
Your words do one thing though. They show another reason from your own pen why the bible is not acceptable as it is written by creationists. Don’t refer to it again after that reply.
There is documentation in the bible that clearly states this is what happened. Did you just choose to be ignorant, or you don't believe in history?

Then let me rephrase what I meant to say was that no one has ever proven species to evolve to the point that they eventually become another spcecies.

For once you are correct but where you are wrong is no link you have ever been given has ever made that claim. Species evolve they do not turn into. BIG difference.
Just because I sounded limited in my reply doesn't mean I never thought about it in more detail. Either way, no one has ever proven or witnessed the evolution processes that yeilds a new species.
How many times you need to be told/shown/have explained that very point? Your total lack of understanding of the world around you and the language you have no clue how to use is astounding.
Then let me rephrase, no one has ever witnessed or proven any species to have evolved.
There have never been any tests that prove that species change.
That is because a species does not change into a new species, they evolve.
I'm intelligent enough to see that it's clearly written by an evolutionist.

You are clearly wrong as you posted this:

Rephrase it how you like you are still wrong and have been supplied with many examples that you chose to ignore.

That is because a species does not change into a new species, they evolve.
Then let me rephrase, no one has ever witnessed or proven any species to have evolved.
So that means everything you have written. All that opinion with no evidence are lies because you are a creationist. So maybe you are not as intelligent as you claim. We also have evidence in this thread and others that you are not.

You are clearly wrong as you posted this:
And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.
Evolution was only made up recently. If you think it takes centurys to realize what created the diversity of life, you obviously have other problems. As far as I know, not all people involved in the writting of the bible were faithful followers.

No it stands correct as evolution has never been proven.

That being the case the bible being written by creationists is not a reputable source of information. End of story. End of yours anyhow.
Evolution was only made up recently.
If you think all it takes is imagination to explain the diversity we see around us then it is you that has problems just like your problem of not understanding evolution has nothing to say on the subject of creation. How many times do you need telling that?
If you think it takes centurys to realize what created the diversity of life, you obviously have other problems.
It is YOU that is assuming demonstrated by your reply above. You show you do not even understand the word assume
As far as I know, not all people involved in the writting of the bible were faithful followers.
You have no proof, your once again assuming.
But by your weird logic if you are a creationist then you are not a reputable source of information. You are a creationist and have proved that you are not a reputable source every time you post.

We will compare how an animal gets food and how we get food. But first you have to know that according to your claim, we not only don't have a reduction in the quality of life, but we are better off as our inventions and processes make the situation better. Just remember that you agree with this up untill this point.
First off, lets take a look at how an animal gets and eats his food. He searches for his food, attacks or startes eating his food, and hes done.
Humans, first raise the food, we do this by feeding the crops or the stock, tend to the stock or crops either with vaccines or vitamins. We harvest or slaughter, process usually by hand, package, ship, refridgerate. On our end we work a job to ear wages so that we can buy the food, then we process it by cooking it, cutting it so it fits in our mouths, do our dishes and we are done.
Animals use 2 steps at the most, and humans use 11, your clearly wrong.
But remember, you thought that we weren't just better off, but actually doing pretty good. As you can see by comparison to animals, we have suffered a serious reduction in our quality of life.
It's impossible to prove something didn't go extinct. The best proof is that we have no record, or knowledge of it ever happening.

The lies just keep coming. Something is either man made or its not. Stop lying and saying that something is natural for one creature but not for another. Is milk man made? Ok then, you are wrong.Cows milk is natural to baby cows. You don't see other species sucking off the teat of other species.
