Talk:Species

"A German Shepherd and a Beagle can mate, because they are different breeds within one species. " - There is no such thing a dog, because it's still a wolf? :) NewCrusader 15:53, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

Dogs were created by God, as were wolves. The relation between them is only because God willed it so. JohnI 16:00, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

Tigers and lions are different species, but they can breed. Ability to reproduce does not define species. -DrSandstone 16:08, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

They can, indeed, produce offspring, but such offspring are unable to produce more because they become infertile, same goes with donkeys and horses. JohnI 16:11, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

That is, actually, untrue. -DrSandstone 16:27, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

It is, actually, true. A female horse and a male donkey yields a mule. JohnI 19:17, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

Ability to reproduce defines species for the layman. So-called scientists may have a different definition, but they are not welcome here. The layman definition is all a good Christian needs to know, visit Wikipedia for a different one. --SilvioB 19:28, 2 September 2008 (EDT)
