Any pretense of responding to criticisms is by the wayside here. As we blow the legs off of one indefensible post after another, you simply Google up another one and keep trolling for suckers. "Helium in the atmosphere?" Helium escapes from the atmosphere.

"Decay of the earth's magnetic field?" You mean, like just before each of dozens of complete reversals?

"Excess argon in recent lavas?"

Am I a prophet? Three hundred posts ago I predicted we'd get to here.

Occasionally, somebody on the evo side clubs a Young-Earth argument on the head like killing a baby seal. The Shriek Chorus immediately arises. "Strawman argument! YEC-ism is a strawman!"

Is it? Start a thread on radiometric dating. The same people will haul out material from dog-eared, fuzzy-edged creationist pamphlets. You will once again wearily look up the rebuttals to hoary tales of old Hawaiian lava from fresh eruptions and old shells on live snails.

Strawman, my earlobe!

Three hundred posts ago! That's before you were a YEC, isn't it?

Creationism is never having to say "I'm sorry."

At this point, I'm basically just posting some of this stuff for the benefit of people capable of learning and absorbing new information. That obviously does not include you and a half dozen or so of your comrades here.
