All across the country, archeologists, paleontologists and biologists are taking part in what is perhaps the greatest example of political correctness in history – their adherence to Darwinism and their attempts to ostracize any scientist who does not agree with them. In doing so, they are not only ignoring the vast buildup of recent scientific discoveries that seriously undermines the basics of Darwinism, but they are also participating, due to politically correctness, in a belief system that indirectly resulted in the deaths of millions of people – those slaughtered by the Stalins, the Hitlers, the Maos, the Pol Pots and others who took their cue from Darwinism’s tenets.

Easy - It is claimed to be more than six thousand years old which AIG has show us is greater then the age of the Earth.
There is no wisdom in whatever labor a flesh man takes up IF he does not know where wisdom comes from. There are street smarts and there is knowledge of good and evil but neither are wisdom.
It is very interesting to see the word 'create' used in the same phrase as evolutionary research.
This is why Obama got elected.
Idiot songs and information on the internet.
You can find whatever you want to support your pre-existing beliefs on the internet.
Want to believe that our government has aliens from other planets in custody, or at least on ice? It's on the internet.
You have claimed to be Christian. And while you think my response was smartass have you not read about Christ cursing a 'fig' tree? And wasn't the Garden Party in a 'fig' grove. No it was not a smartass answer maybe laced with a bit of sarcasm but more seeds of truth than you are accustom to being fed.
Gidday, Mr Silverback!
Fair enough for you to disagree, my FRiend. Let me (for the moment) set aside the epochs and address the question of Noah first, if that’s OK. You write:
> Second, there’s a whole list of problems with Noah’s flood as a local event...in fact I can probably find said list and post a link. But just for an example, if the flood was strictly local, God could have led Noah and the animals of the Mesopotamian region over some mountains and the problem would be solved.
OK, so let’s accept for the moment a universal flood that completely covered the Earth’s surface.
That would be to a depth of at least 29,029 feet (height of Mt Everest). Anything less deep would not be a “universal” flood, and presumably people and animals could climb to the top of any mountains not completely covered.
That’s alot of water!
OK, let’s allow that it only to the height of Mt Ararat (e know that was covered) That’s still 16,946 feet — worldwide.
Water, as you know, respects Gravity. It settles uniformly on a surface. So to have a Universal flood covering the entire surface of the earth you are talking about alot of water: indeed, more water than is presently on the surface of the earth AND suspended in the air above it.
Right, so either alot of water somehow “disappeared” or the flood was localized and not Universal. And not as deep as 29,029 feet. Or even 16,946 feet
But let’s allow, for the moment, a Universal flood (even tho’ it’s impossible). There is another problem.
How big a motor did Noah have on the Ark? Because somehow during the duration of the flood (40 days and 40 nights, plus some time for the waters to settle) he needed to drive all the way to New Zealand (about halfway across the world) an drop off Kiwis, Moas, Tuatara, Wetas, the Haast Eagle, Keas, Tuis, Kahikiteas and a whole bunch more fauna that is only found in New Zealand. Then he had to scoot over to Australia and drop off Koalas, Platypus, Kangaroos, Wallabies, brown snakes, dugites, funnelweb spiders, taipans, fierce snakes, yellow-bellied black snakes, Sulphur Crested Cockatoos, and a whole host of other fauna only found in Australia, then somehow get back to Turkey in time to run aground on Mt Ararat...
...what, no motors? What about sails? No sails? What about oars? No???
Then there is the whole question of the Tuatara and its link to Dinosaurs. I know Dinosaurs existed: I have been to Drumheller Alberta and seen and touched the bones. Or what were once bones: they are so antient they had turned to rock There is no way they are only 6,000 years old! No way in Texas...
...anyrate. The Tuatara is a reptile but not a lizard. It has three eyes, and is only found in New Zealand. Two of its eyes look like normal eyes. The third eye is between the two eyes, and it senses “stuff” — nobody knows exactly how or what. An amazing creature. (Yes, I did say “creature” — these things are too clever to happen at random). Very hard to find, extremely hard to catch. I’m surprised Noah had the time and patience to do either, far less to drop it off in New Zealand where there are fossils of Tuatara that purport to be many hundreds of thousands or millions of years old...
...and speaking of hundreds of thousand of years old, what about the swamp kauri? These are trees that are preserved in NZ peat bogs. Hundreds of thousands of years old, perfectly preserved. You can buy souvenirs made of swamp kauri wood 200,000 years old. How is it that these amazing trees can pre-date creation?
OK, that’s a few things for my opening salvo. Over to you...
> No it was not a smartass answer maybe laced with a bit of sarcasm but more seeds of truth than you are accustom to being fed.
Yeah, it was a smartass answer, and unhelpful, and unilluminating.
> You have claimed to be Christian.
More than claimed, my FRiend. I AM a Christian. A practising one.
> And while you think my response was smartass
No, I *know* it was a smartass response. And it did you no credit at all.
> have you not read about Christ cursing a ‘fig’ tree? And wasn’t the Garden Party in a ‘fig’ grove.
And exactly what does that have to do with anything? Are you comparing yourself to Christ? That’s weird! Do you belong to some sort of cult or something?
Yeah, it was a smartass answer, and unhelpful, and unilluminating.
If that is how YOU need to describe it have at it. I can tell you it was filled with seeds of truth regarding the fact that Christ is the key to the proof that evolution is a lie. Ever read the parable of the sower?????

Then you would know why I used the words I did the majority are found in the Bible.

HA the evolutionary dogma is all about marking credit to the best modeler. I am not hunting for credit but I have found to 'quote' Christ does draw the ire of the majority.

And you are claiming I have no credit? I did NOT write what is WRITTEN and I am told that the WORD was GOD. Now why would these things be WRITTEN preserved through our flesh time? To be ignored? You asked what the tracking the protecting of that blood line to Christ had to to with proving evolution as lie. And then you do not know enough of what the WORD says to then accuse me comparing myself to Christ or being in a cult. WHOOOOOo How do you follow somebody when you don't even know what they said?
Peking Man was not a monkey. You are off by millions of years there (how many millions depends on whether we consider New World monkeys or Old World monkeys).
Rather, Peking Man is an example of Homo erectus, a member of our own genus.
This is all quite simply opinion without evidence. It is untrue, and therefor useless in discussion.
For science to be "hijacked by religious nuts" they would first of all have to know something about science. I can assure you that is one HUGH obstacle.

I’m not willing to play guessing games with obscure hints. If you have something of substance to contribute, I am all ears. I’ve asked a plain question in hope of a plain answer. If you can do that, fine. If you can’t, also fine.
For now, we’re done.
Fundamentalists love parables except when it comes to Genesis. That, of course, is FACT.

Well said! I’m going to have to remember that one.
Just did it for Lucy. Comes up with sites like beliefnet.com, freerepublic.com, kent-hovind.com, nwcreation.net
"assumes what is to be proved"
Duane Gish read a book by a Catholic Priest who read a book about it.
if nothing else, the evos are effective at shutting down intelligent dialog and putting in place of that an echo chamber
I have nothing to add. I just wanted to see your post again.
