"Out of place fossils are actually common"

Actually, the stratum are out of place more often than not due to dynamic geological events.

If Bray’s amber was formed from true flowering plant sap as the evidence suggests, and if there really is pollen in the Hakatai Shale, then angiosperms have existed from the world’s beginning, even as Genesis records.10

False premise. Figured it had to be in there somewhere.

YEC types love to talk about the Cambrian explosion as 'proof' of creation. How about this - land plants did not start to become present in the fossil record until later in the Ordivician.

Here’s the last line of the article:

“See? Just like it says in Genesis! The End.”

Brian Thomas MS* remains a shameless rationalizer, easily contradicted by even the least prepared thinking person.

But keep posting! The entertainment that I derive from this pablum is nearly priceless.

Shhhh.....

Never bring in logical explainations to the un-educated. You'll be castigated as a non-believer.

Tis a pity my dear Dawkins, that your brain has not sufficiently evolved so that you might take us all on a voyage of adventure as you tell us in the minutest of detail the EXACT, SPEFIC, step-by-step method by which, utilizing blind randomness, evolution occurred(rs) at the molecular level in, oh say, producing complex proteins.

NO, no Richard, I will have NONE of your usual "Evolution JUST occurs" mentality. Oh no! We want you guide us chemical reaction by chemical interaction as each minute molecular change occurs in a random fashion towards a non-random conclusion.

Please show your work, or NO extra credit for you my boy!

I always love this argument. Theories are made based on evidence on hand. WE’ve found no fossils of flowering plants older than 125 million years(thought it was more like 110 mill, but whatever), and the ones found dating back that far appear to be very basic/simple. New fossil discoveries will yield updated theories. Why is that so strange?

Finding millions of fossilized fern plants from one field over a very short period of time doesn’t means we’ve found millions of examples of ferns throughout time. It means we’ve found ONE piece of data repeated a million times. The anti-evos will point to millions of fossils with little to no change, so therefor no evolution. That’s THE most laughable part of one of the pillars of anti-evo philosophy - “But we have MILLIONS of examples with no change.

Before Brian Thomas makes yet another false assumption and you pass it along, at least read the information he cites. Like the, ahem, bombshell regarding flowering plants. Let's take something from his own source: “These ambers do not suggest that flowering plants existed during the Carboniferous period, but they do suggest that aspects of flowering plant biology began to develop much earlier than the 125 million years ago that we previously thought...” And where he got the idea that “plant parts like leaves, stems, and roots” are exclusive to flowering plants is ridiculous. Ever heard of a fern or a pine tree?

That means alot coming from an evo-atheist who pretends to be a Christian while denouncing genuine Christians in the name of Christianity.

Having my Christianity challenged by a pied piper fraud such as you only serves to confirm my faith and further impugn your own.

==Having my Christianity challenged

Again, that means a lot coming from an evo-atheist whose mission it is to pose as a Christian in order to attack genuine Christians in the name of Christianity. I have asked you numerous times if Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, and you have refused to answer each time. All Christians confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Let me know if you ever become an actual Christian (or are at least willing to be honest and admit that you are an evo-atheist disruptor posing as a Christian). Until then, buzz-off imposter.

Christianity is not a spectator sport, as you and the rest of the Hare Christian cult here seem to want to pervert it. I don’t wear my faith on my sleeve, nor do I respond to demands to take litmus tests from fraudulent messengers such as you.

I am a Christian, and you are a charlatan. You refuse to acknowledge the Christianity of Catholics. No more need be said regarding your false standing as an arbiter of the faith.

Your link describes you well! Your incessant posting of garbage from AiG and other rationalization sites proves that you’re a phony.

Very clever—I never would have guessed that you would post the same crap twice! On the other hand...

I don't debate lying imposters, I expose them.

You have repeatedly demonstrated that you are an evo-atheist whose mission it is to pose as a Christian in order to attack genuine Christians in the name of Christianity. I have asked you numerous times if Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, and you have refused to answer each time. All Christians confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
