Then you are knowlegeable that the plate moves about 2" per year consistent with the 300,000 year cycle of magnetic reversals. Looking at the 'stripes' we see millions of years of movement.
If the earth was only 6000 years old, that would mean that the poles were reversing every few decades! How many reversals have we seen in the last few hundred years?

Further, references to six day creation are referred to as literal by Moses, Jesus, Paul, and others. They are never referred to as being metaphorical. Which Genesis is literal? Genesis 1 which states that man was created after animals or Genesis 2 which states that animals were created after man?

creationWiki ... says dinosaurs went extinct because evil man hunted them down and destroyed them. Why are these menacing beasts and the great battle between man and these beasts mentioned in the Bible?
To: Marie2
"In our home school I teach my kids what evolution is, often using the evolution scientists own writings, so that they have an antithesis to our thesis that creation science is correct."Interesting. Which "evolution scientist[s]" do you use, and what writings of theirs do you incorporate into your lessons?
To: Marie2
References to the four corners of the earth and sunrise and so forth are in poetic and prophetic books. References to six-day creation are in historical narratives right in there with the genealogies, the troop movements, and all the literal stuff. Further, references to six day creation are referred to as literal by Moses, Jesus, Paul, and others. They are never referred to as being metaphorical.
This would be more easily accepted if all of Christianity agreed with it. But they don't. In fact, there are plenty of Christians on this very thread that would take issue with this. The problem is that no one knows when the bible switches from literal to "poetic", from historic to prophetic. Hence, the endless array of denominations, internal bickerings, OEC's vs. YEC's vs. Theological Evolutionists, etc, etc, etc.
Firstly, I am not a degreed scientist and doubt I ever will be.
I'm NOT trying to be a jerk here, but... those who DO have degrees in the specialties dealing with those skulls... they DO know what they are talking about. Just as theologians who have studied the original Hebrew know a heckuva lot more about the Bible than I do - and I wouldn't argue with them or disagree with them.
Secondly, those who believe God created the world dont get grants from secular or governmental institutions.
The majority of scientists who seek grant money in America are Christians who believe in God.

==5. Charles Darwin wrote that when considering the evidence for his theory of evolution,
a fair result can be obtained only by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on both sides of each question.
What do you suppose the other side of each question was when Darwin wrote that statement?
==Statement B: Biology teachers should teach Darwins theory of evolution, but also the scientific evidence against it.
Which groups are amassing the scientific evidence against the “theory” of evolution.
To: Cedric
Uh huh.Wow. Your posts get better all the time!

Which groups are amassing the scientific evidence against the theory of evolution.I don't know. Haven't seen any yet.
To: Cedric
Um, okay dude. Here goes:
Cedric the genius did NOT say “I can destroy evolution easily.” I paraphrased him and am terribly sorry.
Cedric the genius DID say, “Im not opposed to destroying the flimsy myth of evolution, first, if thats where you want to start.”
Again, I am deeply, deeply sorry for this misquote. As we have all learned, Creationists are very strict about misquotes and have never, ever done so on any of their websites.
Now, back to Cedric destroying the flimsy myth of evolution...

I paraphrased him and am terribly sorry. Don't apologize. Your post was labeling his game, not directly quoting him.
To: Cedric
Sorry I stepped out. I had to go get my really, really tall boots. You left? We didn't miss you.
To: whattajoke
Your gracious apology is magnanimously accepted.

GGG, you really must check your sources! To answer your question, certainly not what you think he meant! Go to your bookshelf and grab one of your well-worn copies of "On the Origin of Species" and check it out for yourself. It's on page 2. This shouldn't take you long.
To: Cedric
Why the quotation marks then, Shakespeare? Ask him. Maybe for this?
----------------------------------------
Quotation Marks for Words
Use quotation marks to indicate words used ironically, with reservations, or in some unusual way.
Example:
The great march of "progress" has left millions impoverished and hungry.
To: ColdWater
Words, not an entire sentence, professor Johnson.
And you got Genesis 1 & 2 screwed up, too.
Perhaps, you've got a little “fusion” goin’ on in your brain, Mr. Oppenheimer.
