 * I'm not sure. There are some fundamentalists who feel that the bible is a science textbook, so refutations of this nature could be in order. After we have Geocentrism which is similar sort of thing.--Bobbing up 03:24, 18 January 2008 (EST)
 * It should be left in place. In retrospect, reading this story was what undermined my faith in the Bible. --Tweenk (talk) 05:48, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Why not just put it under scientific errors in the Bible? Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 06:41, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Fleshing this out
Topics that might be discussed on this page: 1) The actual appearance of spotted domesticated animals (there was an interesting example with domesticated foxes: as they became more domestic through generations selected for tameness, spotted or mottled or patchy coats appeared) or a short discussion of the complexity of animal color genetics (Horse colors are quite complex, for example)

2) a discussion on the type of folly this story is. On one hand, it's magic. Second, it's the use of a ritual or a totem. stuff like that, maybe? &mdash; Unsigned, by: KnightOfTL;DR / talk / contribs
