(Shrugs). We could make it interesting -- I'll send you a copy of my SAT scores, you send me yours; loser reimburses the cost of the College Board fees to secure the records. You want to take the bet, just "Ping" Jim Robinson to this Wager and ask if he'll be willing to serve as Judge. Loser also contributes $100 to Free Republic to compensate Jim for his trouble, if he cares to officiate.
I'm confident that I win this bet without even knowing anything about you, other than your repudiation of Creationism.
Alternatively, I could call up Rose State College here in Oklahoma to see if they still have the records from the year I won the State Championship in World History; if you were ever State Champion of anything (you weren't, that's obvious enough from your posts), you're welcome to post your records in response.
I mean, there's a million different ways we could do this, but you'll lose every one.
Post #241. There’s that arrogance. And be very careful. World History is not the same as engineering and physics with respect to GPA or scholarship.

No reference to the State Championship in World History, either on the Rose State College ("Your Community College of Choice") web site nor, for that matter, a broader search on Bing (probably the result of evolution of the Internet.)
And a challenge to share SAT scores: if (big if) your scores are what you claim them to be then the argument can be made you can take a standardized test.
No takers, eh?
What is it with you creationists? Always feeling the need to puff out your chest? It’s so weird. You did well on you SAT’s. You went to a Jr. College and did well there. You apparently won some world history trivia contest while there for your state.
All these things are wonderful. But so what, man? You’re falling prey one of the creationist cliches - the one where if you go to AiG of DI you’ll notice very similar puffery. PhD’s here and MS’s there. Of course, for 80% of them, when one digs deeper, one finds that many of these “degrees” are from diploma mills and Christian colleges with no accreditation.
I also happen to think you miss the true nature of Rand Paul’s sidestep. I think he does accept an old-earth and didn’t want to a) lie to the young-earthers in the crowd and/or b) didn’t want to tell them the truth and upset their myopia.
I WISH all creationists just kept to your idea of the free-market and “breeding” overcoming the evil scourge of science. That’s a nice, quiet and quaint (albeit ridiculous) “solution” that would allow science to progress without impediment. So please, carry on in your fight.
