Hello, Chuzzlewit! You made my point. Dogs and humans are single species. I spoke of specialization, not speciation, although the term "species" has been applied to variations interfertile with the parent stock. I doubt the diversity of humans, which is less so than canines proves evolution over aeons.

Let's see if there's evidence of Divine inspiration of the Bible:

1. THE EARTH IS UNSUPPORTED IN SPACE: "He stretcheth out the north over empty space, and hangeth the Earth upon nothing." Job 26:7

2. EARTH IS ROUND (In the same sense as the moon is round to an earthly beholder: "It is He that sitteth above the circle of the earth, the inhabitants of which are as grasshoppers." Isaiah 40:22

3. THERE ARE FOUNTAINS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA These were just discovered in 1977 and reported in National Geographic Sept. 1979.
You've seen them on TV, vents from which issue mineral rich water at 660 degrees F in which thrive living organisms (Why doesn't their DNA polymerize?) 35 centuies ago Moses wrote in Genesis 7:

"On the same day were all the fountains of the deep broken up"
Restatement in Proverbs 8:27-28: "When he established the heavens, I was there ... when the fountains of the deep became strong."

4. DNA IS DESCRIBED: A book, or program in the mother's womb has all unformed parts of the new person down in writing. Remember that a book is the INFORMATION, not the medium, be it paper, tape or disk.
"Thou did'st cover me in my mother's womb. Thine eyes did see my unformed substance, And in thy book they (my parts) were all written". Psalm 139:13-16

5. NINEVEH WOULD BE BURIED, NAME FORGOTTEN: The capital of the Assyrian empire, the greatest nation of her time, overthrown by the Medes and Babylonians circa 611BC. It vanished from the consciousness of men, so that Bible critics once ridiculed the Bible for presenting the "mythical race" of the Assyrians. See the British Museum exhibits.

"He will make a full end of her place ... Jehovah hath given commandment against thee, that no more of thy name be sown. I will make thy GRAVE." Nahum 1:8-14 Ency. Americana, 1964 Vol 20, page 368: "it is estimated that over 14 million tons of earth would have to be moved to excavate it completely." In 1845 Henry Layard solved the riddle of Nineveh by discovering the greatest lost city of antiquity and proving the Bible accurate. My point: Nineveh was both forgotten and buried. The rest of Nahum's prophecy requires it never be rebuilt. The city of Mosul now sits across the Tigris river from the mounds that were once the greatest military power on Earth.

I've got lots more, Chuzz. You'll be glad to hear that hell is the grave [sheol] the dead are asleep not in torment; and nobody fries when they die. Organized religion, specifically christendom hasn't taught the Bible, else why are the people so ignorant of it? Ask 10 churchgoers to find the Lord's prayer of 10 commandments in their Bible and see how they score. This poem does not apply:

God, with fire in his eye
Will see that you fry
After you die
Just you, not I

I'm appreciative of your inquiry. Thank's Chuzzlewit!
