I'm sorry? What, exactly, merited that unsolicited ad hominum?

The superstition that animals turn into other animals is widespread in our day much as the vain notion of geocentricity in its own time. Coppernicus and Gallileo put the lie to it.

Another huge problem for evolution is the human footprint within the dinosaur footprint in the Taylor Trail tracks. It has been sliced and the basal layers found to match the contour of the depression, which eliminates carving/hoax.

You don't get to assume the conclusion in the premises unless you are operating (as I believe evolutionists are) from a standpoint of faith (as I believe many who espouse that viewpoint do because, frankly, having a God to whom to answer is a bit uncomfortable for some). The very notion that the age of the rock in the geological column defines the fossil's age, while the fossil's age (as interpreted through Lyellian long ages) determines the age of the rock serves as a prime example of the type of circular reasoning which forms the bedrock for the GToE. The entire notion of the linear relationship between the geological column and age is an a priori assumed without supporting evidence (and sorry, radiometric dating does not count since you don't know the original parent-t-daughter ratio but must assume it).

Remember that observational science (what can be measured, observed, repeated predictably) differs vastly from historical science, since neither a global flood nor billions of years worth of mutations can be replicated in a lab.

Thank you, well stated! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if they would take their circular blinders off long enough to see reasonable points. Many have no idea that the basis for their reasoning is circular. They haven’t exercised reasonable doubt or any kind of questioning attitude about the theory that they seem to be so deeply invested in.
