Monkeying with evolution

So you will attack my beliefs, but you will not defend your own. You question my science, but refuse to state yours. I can not believe that anyone who understands atomic decay or sedimentary deposition, or even tree ring analysis could seriously defend a 10,000 year-old earth. A mechanical engineer should absolutely understand the second law. Why not state your case? If it is valid scientifically, I can’t and won’t argue.

You post assertions that evolution theory equals fact so its yours to defend. What I believe is irrelevant to the question of whether that theory represents truth, isn't it?
I could have no beliefs, all beliefs, any beliefs and it would do absolutely nothing to demonstrate the truthfulness or lack in evolution. So no, I see no point in shifting the focus to my beliefs (or that of “creationists” either).
Actually I see no more proof for a ten thousand year old earth than for evolution. But it is interesting you brought it up.

You are an engineer who believes in magic. Go watch TV.

Your logic is irrefutable. I stand down.........for now.
