Even if I'm wrong, there is still dog / wolf and mules.
The bottom line is speciation is assumed when a species can no longer breed with its group, not by physical differences. So if thats the case why do scientists make claims that species are different based on physical properties?
Welcome to the world according to tooth. He will no doubt accuse you of playing the repeat game. He has had the dog/wolf, wolf/dog and the wolfdog explained many times so you are not alone
You're still with the Dog/Wolf when I've already answered that a while before.
Then I suggest you get first in line as I took it as humour and answered it the same way.

So it was and old joke, i wasn't looking for any replies. Yes it is the 21st century and pretty soon there will be humor transplants for the grumpy. I would put your name on the list if i was you.
I'm not interested in being shown your opinion, I want proof. There is no proof that a great flood was never here. Most of the things from exodus could have happened, leaving little to no evidence left for today.
Are you still pretending that the bible is history. I've already shown that exodus, genesis and the flood are all fiction. The fiction extends into the New Testament as well.
What the hell is electrickery?
Do you intend to join us in the 21st century any time soon? We have flying machines and electrickery now as well. Give it a try, you may like it.
AllopatricMain article: allopatric speciation
During allopatric (from the ancient Greek allos, "other" + Greek patrā, "fatherland") speciation, a population splits into two geographically isolated populations (for example, by habitat fragmentation due to geographical change such as mountain building). The isolated populations then undergo genotypic and/or phenotypic divergence as: (a) they become subjected to dissimilar selective pressures; (b) they independently undergo genetic drift; (c) different mutations arise in the two populations. When the populations come back into contact, they have evolved such that they are reproductively isolated and are no longer capable of exchanging genes

You might think that my believing in the bible as a history book is just a belief, but then again thats just you opinion and I honestly haven't seen you disprove anything.
The subspecies and filing system are all set up by man, and seriously flawed. In lab tests with fruit flys, speciation occurs where they are no longer able to breed. You can't tell me they became a different genus in a lab.
Foxes and dogs are clearly the same genus, but they can't breed.
Reproductively isolated, there you have it. It's such a crock how they claim "they have evolved such" thats not proof.
So again, I ask the question, and I'm looking for an honest answer here. If Donkeys can breed with Horses to make Mules, and dogs can breed with Wolves because they are the same genus, then why can't a fox breed with a dog?
Dogs and foxes are markedly different in chromosome number and structure.
Why not, Horses can breed with donkeys.

The well known double standards of tooth come into play.
I'm not interested in being shown your opinion, I want proof.
You cannot give proof that ‘a great flood was never here’. All you can show is there is no evidence to support something did happen. That has been done. So your demand for proof is insane and reflects your ignorance.
There is no proof that a great flood was never here.
Could of happened is not proof it did happen it is your opinion. Again you demand proof and when you are given evidence that means it is a nice story you deny it. So you need to show proof that it did happen or stop giving us your opinion that you so vehemently reject from others even when it is not.
Most of the things from exodus could have happened, leaving little to no evidence left for today.
And here you display again you do not understand the language you use. you say you believe in the bible as a history book and then on the same line claim that is not a belief. That your belief is not a belief. Even more insanity and desperate ignorance.
You might think that my believing in the bible as a history book is just a belief, but then again thats just you opinion and I honestly haven't seen you disprove anything.
That is your opinion
The subspecies and filing system are all set up by man, and seriously flawed.
You want proof that it is basically a filing system? Go back and read my post.
I want proof
Address the points I made in my post that you are meant to be responding to. You want to talk about fruit flies then start a new post.
In lab tests with fruit flys, speciation occurs where they are no longer able to breed.
You demanded answers to the Wolf and dog. Please have the good manners to address the points I made and links I supplied in regard to that. Jeeze you're ignorant.
Foxes and dogs are clearly the same genus, but they can't breed.
You want an answer then you should have asked for it in that post not combine two separate posts as I have asked you not to do many times
What the hell is electrickery?
We don't need any more proof, Target Food proves our food isn't here and that we aren't from here and we have a history book telling us this as well. What more do you need. Just remember before you pick up that biology book which doesn't prove anything, that the history book known as the bible was written long before it.
Target food is your made up fantasy that you have nothing but your opinion to offer in support but seeing as though you now claim to have proof what time and day are you setting to have this out in the debate forum?
We don't need any more proof, Target Food proves our food isn't here and that we aren't from here and we have a history book telling us this as well.
What apart from evidence, proof and a one to one debate in the debate forum, nothing that will do very nicely thank you. Date and time please.
What more do you need.
Well I'll refer to biology books and your golden rule. You can refer to the bible in the debate forum and we will see who wins the debate. Time and date please.
Just remember before you pick up that biology book which doesn't prove anything, that the history book known as the bible was written long before it.
