that article is such riduculous misinformation.. I can refute it for you in a millisecond.
Quote: |
They cannot deny that hundreds of millions of fossils reside in display cases and drawers around the world. Perhaps some would argue that these specimens - huge skeletons of dinosaurs, blocks from ancient shell beds containing hundreds of specimens, delicately preserved fern fronds � have been manufactured by scientists to confuse the public. This is clearly ludicrous. |
This guy is obviously very confused. Nobody denies the existence of fossils or of dinosaurs. They are strong evidence for creationism.
Quote: |
Some skeptics believe that all fossils are the same age.Otherwise, religious fundamentalists are forced to claim that all the fossils are of the same age, somehow buried in the rocks by some extraordinary catastrophe, perhaps Noah�s flood. How exactly they believe that all the dinosaurs, mammoths, early humans, heavily-armored fishes, trilobites, ammonites, and the rest could all live together has never been explained. |
Modern people live alongside alligators elephants, tigers, lions, whales, etc etc...
This guy is truly dumb.
Quote: |
Nor indeed why the marine creatures were somehow �drowned� by the flood. |
More astounding ignorance!
The flood was spurred by great tectonic activity. Go to any underwater volcano and you will seee hundreds of dead marine organisms in the vicinity....
Quote: |
Rejecting fossil data cannot be supported by proof.The rejection of dating by religious fundamentalists is easier for them to make, but harder for them to demonstrate. The fossils occur in regular sequences time after time; |
Not always. there are abundant examples of where the fossils do not conform to evolutionists predictions. When that happens, they do one of the following:
a) ignore it/ dismiss it as an anomaly.
b) say that it must have evolved earlier than they thought
c) give the rock a different date.
Please keep the laughs coming NYC.
I wonder how you ever survived in NYC with dangerous alligators in the waterways.  |

Globutron:
Here are your Eocene amber fossils from "90 million years ago".
notice how none of them show any change to today.
http://www.ambersdenydarwin.com/amber_20.html
in fact there are no fossils in existence-of the millions we've dug up- that show any evolutionary change. because evolution never happened...
The only "evidence" for evolution is the wild imaginations of evolutionists which are presented as fact in glossy magazines..  |

You don't seem to understand the article.
I can understand why, though. You have to actually think, rather than obey a fictitious book. |

I'm sure most of them genuinely believe it all.Most North Koreans probably believe Kim Jong Il is awesome.
But they're mistaken.
Why do the fossils all show no change?

Were you on the junior high debating team? Because your skills are mindblowing.
if you want to try thinking, tell mother dearest you're not sure about evolution anymore because the fossils show nothing actually has changed. I'm sure she'll respect your first steps to independent thought.
How does nothing changing over 90 million years = "mass evolution" exactly?

How does a timespan of 90 million years remotely support your theory? You've just used it in defense of creationism. Either the date is valid or it's not. You either agree with the date, or your defense is invalid. Pick one, but you can't have it both ways.
As has been stated in this thread before, some animals are well suited to their environments and have not needed to adapt to environmental pressures. Sharks and crocodiles come to mind. That doesn't refute evolution.

Ok miss side-stepper.
Let me rephrase it for you.
How does the fact that nothing has changed, as revealed by the fossil record, remotely support your theory?

ie, all of them.

And everything else.

yes it does. fully.
Are all the fossils lying? is this a mass fossil conspiracy?  |

Well... Amber isn't a good way to prove evolution. I'm not sure many people, if any use it for suck things.
Generally microscopic and very very small creatures change very little. The majority of early life forms haven't changed at all and are still lingering around today.
Reptiles being an ancient species still linger but in smaller numbers.
As for the DNA;
Roberta Poinard (sp) and her husband found 40 million year old cells within a gnat, in good enough condition to see the structural details within the cells, too.
Nuclei and chromatin in the nucleus and so forth.
Finding DNA was difficult, but two separate groups found some preserved within a bee and a termite around the same time (since they started looking at the same time). They were dated at 20 million years (obviously this is a lie because people don't know how to date things, of course).
Then 7 people as two teams got together and found 135 million ish year old DNA from a weevil (Poinar, Cano, Akra, Pieniazek and others).
Of course, the DNA being this old (even after 20 million years) becomes chopped up and muddled around a complete mess, often contaminated, but still distinguishable.
And as a result, nothing can be confirmed that DNA can preserve for that long and be extracted, however this still hyped the media into Jurassic park. And the scientists insisted that this is all fiction. They were not all for the conspiracy. They said the conclusions were negative, despite media claims.
Dating amber is not about dating the actual amber itself, but the creatures inside (they have indeed found previous incarnations of creatures, such as some spiders, orb web spiders, a Mesozygiella dunlopi.
Also they test the bubbles for O2 levels, which as we've discussed was higher in concentration in the olden days.
Also the surrounded rocks, that need a certain amount of time to become, from soil and mud to stone.
The process for amber to harden into rock form takes just as long, through means of

oxidation and polymerization of the original organic compounds, oxygenated hydrocarbons |
But anyway I know already there are countless creationists arguments for this and so forth so we can skip that.
I still need you to explain Oil and especially red shift. I'm aware Oil can be manufactured through extreme heat and all that, but I need an explanation as to how so much, in so many places, which are dated and analysed, is all wrong.
Once you disprove this, we can move on to the other points. One step at a time from now on, rather than answering one maybe two points you can find, and then using them as utter proof. One at a time. Don't ignore my previous posts. |

Also, out of further curiosity, I'd like you to give your views on this.
http://www.mersk.net/wwwdocs/wwwdocs/wwwdocs/Hubble_ultra_deep_field.jpg
The ultra deep field. a PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE (obviously with filters and so forth) of focussing in on nothing at all, emptiness of space for 11 days. Every single pixel of colour you see is a galaxy.
If you don't dismiss this and call it conjecture, or a propaganda photoshop, why is your creator creating all this, only to put life on our planet? Were the rest screw ups that he couldn't get right?
Why even bother making them other than for us to gawp at?
How (back to red shift) are these no more than 6,000 years old?
Back to physics, we know Velocity = Distance/time. And we know the speed of light in a vacuum is constant, unless all physicists are lying and it's mere conjecture, despite the experiments proving so. Light cannot speed up or slow down in a vacuum. Scientists can slow light down, in fact almost to a halt in certain experiments. But not in a vacuum.
You can do the old claim that light was faster in the olden days, which is only what complete fools claim. Since this wouldn't even prove the youth of the universe, it would actually directly prove the universe would be several times older. You'd need to understands the physics here as to why. But also we would be completely swallowed up by various supernovae and stars that would need to be thousands of lightyears bigger as a result. We wouldn't exist if light was faster.
So using simple maths we can determine the distance of stars through means of parallax, main sequence fitting, Cepheid variables, red shift (again), the doppler effect and so forth. Unless these are all mindless conjecture made from guess work and propaganda towards evolution.
To debunk this, the only thing you can do is claim Gravity is mere conjecture and an item of propaganda. Because if light was faster, the universe was younger, gravity would pull in neighbouring dwarf galaxies and stars and would utterly absorb us into nothingness in a few years.
So with this in mind, I assume you accept gravity. And therefore accept the age of the Universe - to an estimated degree. However this doesnt mean you have to accept the earth being old. Well, yes it does, since the earth has undergone exactly the same processes as the rest of the universe. If it didn't, it wouldn't exist right now. Or if it did and does, somehow, it won't in the next couple of years. due to galaxies obliterating us. I say somehow because I'm not sure how the gravity could hold us here and not over there.
So you basically must accept the earth is as old as it is, or you must claim gravity to be wrong. If you want me to go into more details as to why, I will happily do so, Physics is my favourite thing outside of composing music and I could and do go on about it most days.
So what say you? What is your thoughts on the IDer and the explanation for the age of the earth and the universe?
and more personally, Why we are the only ones, and why the organic movements on mars are obviously a mistake because no life elsewhere can or will ever be found because it has never existed or even tried to exist elsewhere?
Were they mistakes? was the god placing them there for our amusement? Obviously if so he is directly involved with the huge propaganda you speak of.
Once we've established this, that you accept the universe, and the existence of gravity, and therefore accept the age of the earth to an estimated degree of millions, billions of years, we can then step back and elaborate more on the more biological and chemical processes not involved with the earth being a mere 6,000 years old. We can make a lot more sense of the mindless conjecture.

Good thinking there, NYC Gal!
Let me make an analogy:
They must have stopped making adults, because all the people who have been born within the last 12 years are children.
I wonder what's going to happen when the current adults die off and the human species is left with nothing but children.
All the children will have to go to school, but there won't be any teachers to teach them.
They will need a secure home life, but they won't have any parents.
Furthermore, how is the human species going to survive? |

Again, I will have to ask you to show me the steps in your argument.
Are you arguing from the premise that if all species have not evolved in the last 90 million years, none of them have?
And while we're on the subject, do you realize how small 90 million years is in the geologic time table?
The first jawed fish appeared 500 mya, the first amphibians appeared 400 mya, the first reptiles appeared 320 mya, and the first birds appeared 200 mya.

Good point there, UWB!
It does not seem possible to share a secret with thousands of other people.
The Mormon wedding ceremony was supposed to be top secret. But oodlums of Mormons have defected and shared with us the script from the ceremony.
The story of Xenu killing millions of people by dropping hydrogen bombs in volcanoes was also supposed to be top secret. But oodlums of Scientologists have defected and told us the story.
If the Holocaust was a mere hoax, one of its participants would have come clean and told us about his or her role in the hoax.
Yes, I know, Gary Parker is an ex-Evolutionist, and a few other leading Creationists are ex-Evolutionists. They may tell us they were brainwashed, they may tell us they were pressured to conform, but I have never heard any of them tell us any shocking stories about how fossils are faked, how radiometric readings are faked, how studied of embryos are faked, and how biochemical studies are faked. I've read one of Gary Parker's books, and it doesn't reveal anything like that. Nautilus, find me this information, and I will reject Evolution, right along with Mormonism and Scientology.

Because Evolution is true!
Evolution has favored those populations which stick together through tribal instinct and disfavored those populations which do not. |

You really should ask the children left behind by sickle cell disease- which you claim is a greatly advantageous mutation.
