I will say that you and your fellow evos are a bunch of cowards who go around attacking someone personally while hiding behind your pseudonyms.

Oh, will you? And your real name is what, exactly? Anyone can click on my profile and find out that I'm Doug Kalbaugh from Keyser, WV. Who the hell are you, little man? Where's the courage of your convictions now?

Put up or shut up!

Geologic columns/dating...what about the massive canyon on mars---no water/erosion!
The size---circumference of the Earth has gotten smaller(although at certain pts. it could have been changing/variable).

During initial collapse(center heating/condensing) large ridges---mountains(large rocky...vast/fast soil erosion) would protrude upwards!

Land wouldn't form evenly...continents would remain at higher levels above water level then plates would dry out(releasing water/moisture/rain)---shrink producing cracks/fissures---then layered-canyons/basins/ravines...via cooled and hot sediments would form(rise/uplift) as the shrink/sink-ing would continue...producing more mountains/hills(slight-no erosion)--'volcanoes' continously---to fill the receding excessive gaps/holes!

At the Grand Canyon older sedimentary levels are at the top and the fresher/newer ones below...those straight up 'buttes' came out of hole--soft spots in the plates like cake decorations---Ayre's Rock like a bubble in a blown tire.

All that erosion/sedimentary crap old age of the Earth is hooie-dooie!

There is not enough dust on the moon to support an old earth dating system!

D. Axelrod, Science 128:7-

"One of the major unsolved problems of geology and evolution is the occurrence of diversified, multi-cellular marine invertebrates in Lower Cambrian rocks on all the continents and their absence in rocks of greater age."

"their absence in rocks of 'greater' age."

The 'greater' age in layers exists if you think the layers formed from the top!

At one pt. the whole of the Earth was hot cooling from the surface in successive layers from below---outward!

Nothing missing in those layers---no mystery!

These invertebrates can only exist above ground level...in water/air---not underground!

Have you heard the story going around about the bio prof in a well-known NorthEast university who is speaking about evolution and notices three guys snickering in the back of the room? "You guys must be fundamentalist Christians" snorts the professor. One of the three replies "No, we're math majors; like, we understand the laws of probability..."

Nice to meet you Douggie! Must say though that after reading some of your novel, I am not surprised you spend your time writing here rather than writing the next one:

As an expert in exobiology, I must profess to be absolutely baffled by the appearance of the so-called "ogres." I can't begin to conceive of the planetary environment in which such evolution is possible. It's more like someone from earth was fantasizing about an invincible alien creature and said, "Let's give him a hide like a rhinoceros, a muzzle like a bear, hands like a man, but with retractable claws like a cat, arms and chest rather like a gorilla, etc." The earthlike nature of the features is too startling to be dismissed as mere coincidence, for even on a very earthlike planet, the odds of life evolving the same way are microscopic. And the actual combination of features mentioned is simply ludicrous. If you have claws like those, you don't need a bearlike muzzle, you can just rip your food up with your hands. You could talk better with a more human mouth.

I must say though that until you extended an invitation just now, I never even thought of clicking on your name to dig up dirt about you. Guess that is what distinguishes Christians from evolutionists, we fight fair.
