                        Welcome to the turtle family!


                                                  There are about 200 types of turtle, all
                                                  different, but all unmistakably turtles.

                                                   Most turtles live in or near water.
                                                   Sea turtles lay eggs on land.
                                                   Some almost never go near land,
                                                  except to lay eggs.
                                                   Some live in deserts.
                                                  They eat everything from tough
                                                  vegetation to seaweed, to fruit.




                                              Genesis tells us that God commanded all
                                              living things to reproduce "after its kind",
                                              which mean'!; He created distinct "familes"
                                              of plant and animal.
                                             Within each kind there is plenty of room for
                                             variety, which allows living things to adapt
                                              to a changing environment, but change is
                                              not evolution.

                                             Genesis and good Science go together,
                                             as Science confirms how turtles have a
                                             set number of genes, a number which
                                             never increases.


                                              This is why turtles are turtles, and from
                                              them all we ever get are more turtles.
