PingIo....

[Fester Chugabrew]

4.6 billion year BUMP.

[John H K]

ROFL.....

Well, here's one to think about. There are an INCREDIBLE number of volcanic features on earth, and a huge number of separate, discrete lava flows and ash deposits indicative of eruptions, many of them massive.

If the earth was actually only 6,000 years old, There would literally have to be a really massive eruption every few days and large eruptions literally every few minutes, to a degree that there's no way life as we know it could have survived...there would have been a near-continuous cloud of dense volcanic ash making normal agriculture impossible.

Nonsense.

[DallasMike]

But that would be aiding and abetting the enemy, the young-earth creationists.

I'm a Christian and a creationist but I just can't buy the idea of young-earth creationism. There's nothing in the Bible or in science to support it. Perhaps Io is younger than 4.6 billion years. All that proves is that Io is younger than most (perhaps all) of the planets and moons in our system.

Further, why is Io the only moon to exhibit this "youngness?" If young-earth creationism were true, then we would expect all of the planets and moons to appear "young." Io is the odd one out.

Shhhh. The evo crowd wants to believe all creationists are 6Kers. Gives them a nice straw dog to thrash.

[Petronski]

All these worlds are yours
except Europa.
Attempt no landing there.

Use them together.
Use them in peace.

[John H K]

Eh, plenty of them are...certainly enough of it posted on FR (though you don't see as many posters that are actually YECs...though there are a few.)

YEC is too stupid for even the average creationidiot (which is like a terrorist being "too violent" for Al Queda"), though, hence the move to Intelligent Design.

All these worlds are your's..........

2010. Great movie.

Negative. Creation-Evolution Headlines is a website run by David Coppedge who works for NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratories.

"most of the moons in the solar system possess young-looking features that defy long ages"

Including Earths moon which was found to have mere inches of dust accumulation instead of the 100 ft. estimate based on a Darwinian time line.

[bondserv]

Macro-Evolution is a lie. I'll give you 20 Trillion years, and your theory falls flat on it's face.

The theory of Evolution is like attributing the production of a sandcastle to the ocean because you observed the water creating the mote.

Two men become stranded on a remote island. As they explore the island they come upon a sandcastle with towers, buttresses and a drawbridge. The design of the castle is amazingly intricate.

One man comments, "It is amazing what time and the ocean can create. The small rocks and seashells on the shore must have got caught in eddies and swirled around and chiseled out that castle. There were a few palm leaves floating by that scribed out the little lines that look like bricks. We are alone here and there is no need to consider anything else."

The other man looked at him incredulously and said, "No, that castle was created by another intelligent being with a clear intent of design, we are not alone."

[squidly]

Petronski beat me to it anyway.

Including Earths moon which was found to have mere inches of dust accumulation instead of the 100 ft. estimate based on a Darwinian time line.

The moon dust argument has long been discredited.

[RadioAstronomer]

Thanks for the ping.

Everything I learned about Io, I learned here --

[Amish with an attitude]

You are indeed correct, it was discredited at the instant the lunar lander touched down. What is you point?
