I know, I got to Tom Bombadillo in book 1 and he annoyed me no end, so I stopped reading. I've seen the first movie and wasn't that impressed. I read the book too and it was no better. Probably because I'm not under 10 I guess. ^_^

I think you're confusing the Genesis flood account with the Epic of Gilgamesh's flood story. In the latter, the Noah figure has 2 days to build a 55 m x 55 m x 55 m cube, that was made of either wood or reeds (!) and was completely enclosed with no windows. Oh and the boat was manoeuvred through...

Oh the iro ... no, too easy. ^_^

Could you give some reasons why, in your opinion, my example was not a good test? You'll have to be more specific about what holes you are referring to. Just saying there are holes without specifying them is not particularly helpful.

Because inanimate objects don't have a genetic code and don't reproduce with variation. I mean, seriously, come on, you cannot be this ignorant of what evolution is. If you are that ignorant then I despair. Research1 already has one up there for another post. Because he has nothing else...

There are actually a number of tests that are regularly used. One good one is as follows: 1. Identify transitional fossils that are currently missing, i.e. missing links. 2. Determine the times where the earlier species disappears in the fossil record and where the later species begins. 3...

Well done for finally realising the falsity of something that nobody even claimed - that's one way of winning an argument eh! ^_^

When I was a young lad, I often dreamt about being chased by a ravenous dog at the end of my dreams. Even when I had fairly innocuous dreams, they would then be terminated with the same big black dog bounding towards me. I remember thinking one time as I was just about to wake up, "ah good, I...

What? If anything, it's creationism that works on the God of the gaps principle, since every missing link, every as-yet unsolved problem in evolutionary biology is taken as proof that God did it, only to be later forgotten about when a discovery / plausible explanation is found. Consider the...

I'm beginning to wonder if this guy is just trying to yank our chain.

Because it is produced by scientists working in relevant areas, is well referenced to peer-reviewed literature and accurately represents the consensus of scientists working in the relevant areas. Well, that's a lie. Quite amazing some of the people that creationists will write off as...

What Willtor said.

This may partly explain a few things.

What you have just said is utter nonsense. "Evolution theory" has no more comment on the factors above than "hairdressing theory" has comment on whether my strawberries will grow this year.

He said once that he served in Guam.

My advice is to turn them off entirely. I have never seen the point in people having half a dozen quotations in their signature, which appear at the end of every single post they make. It's just pointless and distracts you while trying to read through a thread. </petpeeve> :sorry:

Just as a point of tidiness, shouldn't threads like this be posted in the physical and life sciences section rather than the creation and evolution subsection, since they have nothing to do with the creation/evolution debate? There's quite a few threads like this that have also been posted in...

This is why nobody takes you seriously - you responded to a question about DNA with quotes from somebody writing at least 2,300 years prior to the structure of DNA even being identified. Absolutely hilarious. ^_^

The council was about the deity of Christ, but even so, the oneness of Christ and the Father is suggested strongly in the words that were later added to 1 John 5v7-8 and would have been a key text used, yet it was never mentioned once. Although Tertullian was one of the first to use the word...

I was talking about the Council of Nicea in 325AD, so I'm not sure why you are talking about Augustine, 65 years later, in around 390AD.
