Oh, really? Happens every day in a government school.
Not in that area of the country.
You, Sir (or Ma'am), are lucky that I had already finished my drink.
We aim to please.
Because you have croc-o-phobia??
Art thou mocking the Great FSM!!!???
Ash me no questions and I'll tell you no lice.
Now you KNOW you get in trouble with some folks if you don't give a reference for Evoultionary charts!
Now I see my mistake. It's a good thing that none of those made it onto the ark. Wise of Noah, I guess.
Does it bug you if I ask questions?
True, but few jump in with both feet as frequently as I have a tendency to do.
Data dump.
And nobody's offered a rebuttal.
If I supply data, I get accused of "spamming." If I avoid "spamming," I get told that I have no data. It's a no-lose argument for creationists.
Only if you are somewhat limited and have tunnel vision.
The destruction of public school education is fundamental and inherent to this issue.
Do you know the answer, or you just prefer to analyze and disparage my personal integrity?
The Burgess shale apears to be localized and has hardly been exhausted as to its content. Why should one necessarily expect to find fossilized fish in this location unless he assumes this formation took place over a long period of time and demonstrates a history of life forms from the simple to the more complex?
Especially when they are shown to be organized in books as opposed to their original context. Find a fish fossil beneath the others? It is automatically assumed that the other were prior in history regardless of location, and that some geophysical process must have caused them to be contrary to the expected pattern of simple to more complex.
Don't let that stop you from reading, and understanding some actual science.
Ahhh... Triffids...
The densities of each organism under conditions of aquatic decomposition would also have a hand in the sorting process. I don't see this being taken into account. Even if it were, should the result controvert the status quo of evolutionsts it would simply be dismissed as incorrectly assessed.
At bottom, you have texts (and people) in whom you place your trust, and I have mine. You are certainly not entitled to have your views specially protected by law from challenge in a public, academic, or scientific context. The only tools you have to address the prospect of a global flood are scoffing, ridicule, and false accusations.
