Ancient Amber Discovery Contradicts Geologic Timescale
ICR News ^ | October 19, 2009 | Brian Thomas, M.S.

Posted on 10/19/2009 8:32:17 AM PDT by GodGunsGuts

Newsweek magazine recently published a commentary by atheist Richard Dawkins containing some of his arguments against “creationists.” Therein he admitted, “What would be evidence against evolution, and very strong evidence at that, would be the discovery of even a single fossil in the wrong geological stratum.”[1]

Out of place fossils are actually common, despite Dawkins’ claims regarding the “massive numbers” of fossils documenting evolutionary history. ICR News has reported on several over the last 12 months [2,3,4,5,6] and another one has surfaced recently...

"It’s a very simple and specific question. Can you answer it or not? If not, O.K., If yes, please try to do so."

As is mine. Can you answer it or not? If not, OK. If yes, please try to do so.

"I can’t frame it any way more simple and direct than: “what do you understand OEC, Old Earth Creation, to mean?”"

And I can't frame it any more simple and direct than: what part of Old Earth Creation do you not understand?

....and “genuine” Christians MUST believe that the Flood killed all the dinosaurs within the last 5000 years...that Man walked the Earth at the same time as 100+ species of large meat eating dinosaurs.

...and don’t you ever forget...if you believe in the theory of evolution in any manner, you must “hate Christians.”

Don’t forget...”Typical ACLU-loving, evo-atheist, liberal, in addition to legalizing the illegals, you’re also for legalizing drugs and prostitution as well”.

OK, you won't engage to defend your position and apparently you have never heard of the concept of remez. You reserve for yourself the position of asking endless questions that you insist must be answered while you don't respond to direct responses to your own simplistic assertions.

Repeating your weak arguments back to you is an easy way to demonstrate their worthlessness. Pretending that you did not know what OEC meant made it obvious that you had no intention of debating honestly. That you reserve for yourself a position that you will not grant to me shows the moral bankruptcy of your position.

You never had any interest in defending your position and have been building yourself an escape route for several posts now. All the rest has been stalling maneuvers toward that exit.

Professing faith in Jesus Christ is something done proudly by most Christians I know
_____________

On anonymous internet forums such as this, exactly what would such a profession of faith really mean?

"Is there any sin I’m NOT guilty of?"

Again we see the persistent evasiveness, posturing and meaningless drama presented as though it were effective argument.

But hey, if that's all you've got, that's all you've got...

This tells me that we are not doing nearly enough to coninually evagelize our own society.

Chuckling. Because you’re too busy posting articles and baiting us evolutionists to evangelize anybody.

You could, could just go back and say what YOU understand OEC to be instead of accusing me of all manner of wrongs.

"You could, could just go back and say what YOU understand OEC to be instead of accusing me of all manner of wrongs."

And you could, could just engage the argument instead of constantly dancing around and waving your arms in hopes of avoiding the issue.

Nothing? Everything? But there is not any Christians I know who would not do it.
Luke 9:26
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.

In response to someone who demands that you "prove" your Christianity by typing in some words that, while any insincere person could type them without hesitation in order to put forth a fraud, are sacred words that actually mean something, an enormous something, in fact, to a lot of people who really are "Christians" and who take their faith seriously?

Such a demand (if you ask my personal opinion and especially in this context) is like demanding that someone recite the Shahada. Say the magic words, and you're "in." Refuse to mouth the magic words at my demand, and then I have the excuse to treat you as an infidel.

That's really what we're talking about here.

In my opinion.
