Well seing how we are now routinely finding dinos with rotting soft-tissue still intact, perhaps it’s time we gave some of the assumptions contained in the Flinstones a second look :o)

I happen to know a few things about molecular quantum mechanics, radioactivity, decay rates and the like, so as long as we’re open to empirical methods and don’t decide the issue one way or another in advance, I’m all for it.
We can also use evidence from other areas of study, including plate tectonics, cosmology, genetics, and so forth. For example, we’re capable of devising tests to see if the universe is expanding or contracting.
My main beef with the creationists isn’t with their conclusions; it is that they decide empirical issues in advance without experiment or observation, only because of a previous commitment to Koranic or Biblical inerrancy.
