I don’t dispute any of the evidence. Only the popular interpretation of it. None of it invalidates the Genesis account. Only the popular “scientific” interpretation of that evidence. For the record, I absolutely disagree with a), b), and c). D) is somewhat suspicious, as there are no examples of feathers reptiles that I know of in existence today.

Care to address the issue of falsifiability? I’ve always been told that a valid scientific theory needs that. Please describe how the theory of evolution is falsifiable.

All the best with your theory. If you’re right, I’ve lost nothing. We’ll both end up in the same place - no where. If I’m right, you could be in serious trouble. Also, the logical conclusion that evolution would lead you to is that you are an accident whose life has no purpose or meaning. Enjoy!

The scientific theory of evolution is falsifiable in an impossibly large number of ways. I”m not clear on your difficulty with that. It’s one of those “demands” with so many answers that it almost becomes impossible to answer.

In short, since we’re talking about the Jurassic a bit on this thread, finding a rabbit in the same strata as this particular fossil would falsify evolution. So many predictions made via the theory of evolution have come to fruition, it boggles the mind. At the genetic level, especially, but also with big ol’ fossils and such.

I realize i just wrote two paragraphs to a person who does not agree with a single thing that physics, mathematics, astronomy, biology, chemistry, and geology says about the age of the Earth or the history of it beyond what Bronze Age oral traditions of scientific illiterates thought about such things.

And for that, I’m the idiot here, not you.

First I'd like to see the chapter & verse from the Bible where it says: "those who don't believe Shadofax's interpretation of Creationism are condemned to... no where."

Second, I'd like to see where it says that God could not possibly create or control life through evolution, or that evolution necessarily means the Universe and we are an "accident.. [with] no purpose or meaning".
