The column is a fact, not a scared anything.

Aside from typing skills, you apparently need to learn the difference between unsubstantiated assertions and facts. You also need to do a little research on flood geology with an open mind, which your posts indicate you do not possess. If the earth were proved to be old, it would not affect my faith. The theory of evolution has never been proven and if the column falls so does the theory. Hince, its "sacred" nature (sacred:5 a : UNASSAILABLE, INVIOLABLE b : highly valued and important ) in the eyes of evolutionists such as yourself. You simply will not even CONSIDER the fact that the column is not true. This is not evidentiary, but faith-based. You are entitled to believe it, but it is YOU who cannot let go of an essential part of a theory lest your belief collapse.

The ONLY people that claim that the column is not true, are Fundamentalist creationists, and YEC's of course.

To say that you are more qualified to state scientific findings then a geologist or a paleontologist is quite amusing.

When you go and get your doctorate degree in geology, or paleontology, and then go out and study the columns first hand and then come back and tell me what you just told me, perhaps, JUST perhaps I might find it more then something to Laugh about.

Until then, your credibility is just as credible as my 7 year old telling me that there is a monster under her bed.

Oh, and it is NOT faith based.

It is based on scientific evidence to the sontrary of what you state.

NO faith needed, a LOT of faith is needed to actually believe what you are spouting though, because the evidence points in a totally opposite direction.

When I have a tool that works, I use it, science is a tool that works and comes up with answers based on evidence.

Your tool is broken, therefore I will not use it, it has answers, and then goes and looks for evidence.
