You're engaged in a red herring. The issue wasn't whether Old English was Germanic (or even whether it was "more Germanic" than any other particular language), but whether or not modern Germans could understand Old English.
Provide the evidence to support your claim that modern Germans can understand Old English.
We're *still* waiting.

Whether you like it or not, the Angles and Saxons spoke the same language on their boats that they spoke right after they got off their boats.

Now, provide the evidence to support your claim that modern Germans can understand Old English.

Charles seems to think that speakers of *modern* German can understand Old English.

No, it's false. You've provided no evidence to support its being true.

This creature above appears to think that many words are better that providing support for ones opinion and not a sniff of current research in refute behind it.
Evos are great at calling for peer reviewed and published research. Too bad they can't find any of it too support their big words.
Then of course we get the fruit loops here with dinosaur quals that have no clue about recent research and then ask me to prove every word I say, like as if they were morons hiding in some cave the past 10 years and remain clueless to the theory they hope to support.
Would you like me to 'prove' again that your famous single celled LUCA is dead and a failed prediction swept under the carpet with many others.
Would you like me to demonstrate again how evos shoved junk DNA down creos throats ad nauseum only to now find out that at least 80% of the genome is now known to be functional.

I as a creationist I do not change my predictions in knee jerk fashion as evos do.
Would you evos like to make another prediction around non coding dna? Let's see what predictive ability TOE actually has. Do you lot of evos predict some junk or no junk in the genome, or are you unable to make a prediction unless it is in hindsight.
I'll make a creo prediction: Over time and with credible long term research all dna will be found to have some function. This is because if we were created there would be no need for junk.
Come on...!! You lot bombed out on vestigial organs, having to change the definition of vestigial from "no" function at all to "different" function because that prediction also failed and these bright sparks did not want to loose face.
Now let's see if I get more than a humble opinion back in response. Let's hope it is not from last century.
What I like best is listening to posters that think language is at the heart of the evolution/creation debate.

This is what we call, " hasty conclusion or generalisation ", or simply, " fallacy".
You are wrong, modern German speakers, do have an idea on old English than modern English. Many people do know this.

From your premise, you are saying that, old English is similar to modern English. Try that fallacy elsewhere. You are wrong.
Germans can understand old English earsier than Modern English.

The Saxons, Jutes and Angles, are all English people. When they were in Germany and Frisian, Denmark, etc. They were not regarded as the English, until they finally get to England.
This is also true of the US. The whites historically, are purely of English, Spanish, German, other European and Asian extraction.

Sorry champ. You need to mature to the point where you understand what supporting ones opinion actually looks like.
So MazHere, tell me where you got your degree in genomic sciences, biology, or related subjects.

Yea, MazHere is just another creotard posting crap from creationist web sites. It is clear she does not understand a thing she is talking about. Might as well just ignore her.

No, that is what we call "an accurate assessment of your fallacious argument".
Charles Idemi wrote:

So we've gone from "Modern Germans understand Old English" to "Modern Germans have an idea on Old English". I do love to watch you backpedal when you get caught in a lie.

Gee, maybe that has something to do with the idea that "English people" means "people from England".(It doesn't say whether or not such people speak the English language.)

But now, you're trying to avoid your error, which I'll point out again: Now, provide the evidence to support your claim that modern Germans can understand Old English.

Wikipedia (learn to spell it and capitalize it correctly, Charles) doesn't say that modern Germans can understand Old English.

Daily Horoscope for May 24

Aquarius

In complete contrast to yesterday, you have your head screwed on firmly today. Yet you won't be boringly sensible or drearily practical, so there's no danger of you having turned into a dry old stick overnight. It's a good day for keeping track of important details and processes, such as confirming a forthcoming appointment or filling in a form and then making a copy of it before sending it off.
