no one thinks a dog gives birth to a cat.
the idea is that something like both a dog and like a cat ((i don't even know if these are considered in the same tree)) had children some of which were ever so slightly more catlike and some of which were ever so slightly doglike. after 100,000 iterations of some of the slightly more doglike offspring getting together and some of the slightly more catlike offspring doing the same, the slightly more catlike eventually become a whole lot more catlike and hardly resemble the more doglike branch anymore. a million generations later you can't even tell they came from the same ancestors hundreds of millions of years prior.
one of the reasons the world ridicules us instead of listening is that we tend to speak as if we have no idea what we're talking about.
there are over 300 recognized breeds of dog in the world today. how many breeds of dog did Moses take on the ark? or did he only have some kind of wolf?

I hate that five minute edit rule.
Forgot to answer your last question.
I suspect, it had to be a pair of GREY WOLVES, as all dogs today have a DNA relation to be from that family.

That means MY dog SARAH, was Born with DNA from a Grey Wolf:

Thank you Magenta, posthuman, VCO and all who have contributed to this discussion on the correct biblical interpretation of Genesis and the origins of humanity and our four legged best friend, "SARA"......One!
Now, there are about 340 breeds recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI), the world governing body of dog breeds, sometimes known as the World Canine Organization. But the standards for breed recognition vary from country to country – the American Kennel Club currently recognizes only 167 breeds.![]()
so, you also believe in evolution.
macro-evolution, at least, in some form.
hard to believe but it's true!
it's many of the hypothesis people have made about the origin of 'species' ((or Biblically 'types')) that you disagree with - and i do too btw - and many godless theories of origin, that are commonly, wrongly conflated with 'evolution'
what i actually believe makes sense about dogs is the same as you & purple lady, that NOAH only needed to take one set of pairs of animals not unlike a grey wolf onto the ark, and in that animals DNA every kind of dog that came after it was already encoded, waiting to be expressed at the right time. that God has 'built-in' everything that makes an African elephant into a wooly mammoth, so that it doesn't take 30 million years of random accidental mutations to put it together, it would only takes a trigger, and creatures can adapt over a much shorter number of generations, a number sufficiently small to keep up with a change in environment and prevent extinction - the math is different if life has been designed.
Could someone who believes they can lose their salvation (I just lost it at the store a couple days ago...) answer this?
WHY does it say HATH eternal life. PRESENT TENSE? Why does it say that, if we dont even know if we have it until we go to the other side and see where Jesus puts us in?
Btw if I believed like that ^ I would stop being a christian immediately. Because im not going to waste my life here GAMBLING my salvation to see if I did good enough to earn it, only to then not make the cut in the end.
I believe you need to KNOW present tense that you're saved. Right now. Not gamble and wait and see
That is why the BOOK OF 1 JOHN was written:
1 John 2:3 (NRSV)
3 Now by this we may be sure that we know him, if we obey his commandments.
That does not MEAN PERFECTION, the verb OBEY is in the GREEK Present Tense, implying an on going Lifestyle of obeying or keeping HIS commandments. In other words it is saying IF WE KEEP ON STRIVING TO OBEY OR KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, THEN WE CAN KNOW FOR SURE WE KNOW HIM.
Here is another:
1 John 2:5 (NRSV)
5 but whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection. By this we may be sure that we are in him:
also look for assurance in these verses:
1 John 3:14-19 (NRSV)
14 We know that we have passed from death to life because we love one another. Whoever does not love abides in death.
15 All who hate a brother or sister are murderers, and you know that murderers do not have eternal life abiding in them.
16 We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another.
17 How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?
18 Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.
19 And by this we will know that we are from the truth and will reassure our hearts before him
