Yeah, the date stamped on it was...6989 BC

Thanks, I needed the comic relief when reading this.

It got me thinking about this whole scam of archaeology and the charlatans that are unquestioned in their authority.
Consider this scenario:
I go before an evolutionist and secular archaeologist and produce before them a college student and this stone "axe-head". I ask them, how old is this rock? The rock itself is as old as the earth, but the tool was crafted 8-9000 years ago. I ask them how old is the college student. They guess around 20 years old. I ask them which is more complex, the college student or the stone axe head. After long deliberation they decide that the college student is a more complex entity. I then ask about the origins of the college student and the evolutionist talks for hours about biotic soup, fish, amphibians, apes and neanderthal man, that the complexity of the eye came about by random chance and unguided mutation. Then I ask about the origin of the primitive and crude axe head. The immediate reply "Oh, it was designed and built by an intelligent being." (Certainly not by naturalistic forces)

I do not find it incompatible to accept evolution and at the same time accept and believe in the Holy Bible.

It reminds me of when L.S. B. Leakey visited a southern California dig believed to be about 10,000 years old.

He, based on his superior knowledge of African artifacts, promptly declared the artifacts were about one hundred thousand years old.
No one believed him, yet no one disputed him either.

AMEN and mega-dittoes.

I have not been in a college science class for quite awhile, but do they teach "weasel-wording" and "supposition-ing" in those classes now? Discovery Channel has become the science fiction channel. Everything is based on presuppostions which have no basis in fact. All of their stories are the work of fiction writers with great imaginations!
