A Classic Polystrate Fossil (defies evo-assumption that the "present is key to the past")
ACTS&FACTS ^ | October 2009 | John D. Morris, Ph.D.

Years ago, National Geographic published a remarkable photograph of a polystrate fossil, a fossilized tree that
extended stratigraphically upward through several layers of rock in Tennessee. Its roots were in a coal seam, and the
overlying deposits included bedded shale and thin carbon-rich layers. An advocate of any form of uniformitarianism
would believe that it took many, many years to deposit this sequence of layers (much longer than it takes for a tree
to grow and eventually die and decay), yet one vertical fossil extends through them all. This one fossilized tree offered
a direct contradiction to the evolutionary mantra that "the present is the key to the past"...

Once again, you are limiting God's powers to your earth-bound perceptions.

You read in Genesis that the earth is over 2.5 billion years old?

If you want to argue, find someone else. I wanted to know what you meant by your comment.

No, but then I didn’t indicate I had. Did I say I had?

By your post you limited God's power.

“Your friends, the IDers say, there has been no response from God in the last few hundred million years and thus God must be dead.”

Can you give an example?

I don't believe that you have to be a biblical YEC to go to heaven. I stand up for biblical creation because I think it's true. But I have told you that many times, so either you are a disruptor, or you are suffering from a degenerative brain disorder...or perhaps both.

Can you believe in evolution and go to heaven?

Yes, you can. There are all kinds of Christians who were duped by evo-atheist high priests (masquerading as objective scientists) into believing darwood’s evo-religious creation myth who are in Heaven right now. God does not require perfection if you accept Jesus Christ's perfect sin offering to die in your place.

Then you will not be seeing George Washington and Thomas Jefferson in heaven. Are they in Hell now?

What about Adam, Moses and all that lived before Jesus?

Good find GGG. I love the ICR. Most people dont realize it is supposed to be a comedy. It truly is one of the funniest websites, right up there with the Onion. This is one of my favorites:

http://www.icr.org/noahs-flood/

Noah and his sons had to build a huge Ark to preserve animal life for the post-diluvian world, an Ark that can easily be shown to have had more than ample capacity to carry at least two of every known species of land animal (marine animals were not involved, of course). Such an Ark was absurdly unnecessary for anything but a global Flood.

Archbishop Usher aside, I really do not recall any age given for the planet in the Bible, only the length of time God needed to create it.

Now, I may have missed something in my readings, so if you can cite the chapter and verse where an age is given, please inform me that I may become more knowledgeable.

You will have to address that to count-your-change. He was the one that made the statement. I was asking him where he had seen it in Genesis.

I hate it when people limit the power of God. God didn't need any time to create it.
