Did you even read post #115? Your cut-and-paste utterly fails to deal with the majority of it, and disingenuously waffles around the key points of the one thing it does address. Care to try again, or would you like to concede you have no proper rebuttal?

Yes, I did read it. Key points...yes, one of the key points that was repeated with a straight face was the '65 million years ago' assertion. When you can be honest enough to concede that all of the dating methods yield contradictory (therefore inconclusive and unreliable) results, and are all based on certain prior assumptions (which conveniently support evolutionary timetables - which are imaginary) and that in fact several dating methods have yielded results which are demonstrably false, THEN we will have an accurate starting point for this discussion.

Your insistence that the iridium enrichment is clearly defined appears to be based on a drawing and a 'because I say it is so' mentality. This is the same mindset that evolutionary geologists apply to the so-called "geologic column" -- which has not been found to actually exist ANYWHERE ON EARTH. (It does exist in textbooks, though.)

Predictably, it didn't take you too long to launch the ad hominem attacks and cynical denials that atheists and evolutionists are noted for. I guess the idea is, if you can't refute the facts, then attack the person/messenger who is presenting those facts. Pull a Bill Clinton and attempt to discredit the witness.

Oh, and by the way...I guess 100 million dinosaur fossils found all around the world (none transitional, I might add) doesn't add up to a lot of fossils in your book?

The bottom line is, Christians have the Word of God on their side; atheists have nothing except irrational denial to stand on. That is quite simply disingenuous. Or, quite simply, wrong. And neither option inspires confidence.

Well, it exists everywhere that my oil company has drilled a well, and we've drilled tens of thousands. Maybe we're just lucky.

There are many such things. A drill core would actually be more real than, say, a mother's unconditional love for her child. Name any virtue. Can you put it on display in a box?

About that. I talked to GOD, and he said him and Jesus are a bit tired of this CHRISTIAN SUPERIORITY COMPLEX thing you all have going. It is not what Jesus intended, it has gotten way out of hand, and most of the principles and ideas he wanted used got lost to dogma and maintaining control of the populace as well as their material possessions.

God said you all have trashed the TEN COMMANDMENTS, and that the JEWS are his favored people, so all you others better watch out.

False dichotomy fallacy. Not everone who believes as you do is an atheist. Not all Christians believe as you do.
