Do you really think that newspapers in 1944 put their publication online so we could link to it? Do you even think before writing this stuff?

Nobody's asking for a newspaper article. They are asking for the primary source. If the University did a study, there will be a record of it.

Most "science" publications don't publish things which do not bow and scrape at the altar of Darwinism.
No, science journals don't publish things that don't meet the criteria of being science articles.

Why waste a good crayon?
By the way, the Huffington Post (Liberal site) covered it.

So did the BBC.
This site is even hostle to YEC.
Again, nobody is asking for blogs, news forums (it's not even the BBC, it's just someone on their forum) that just link back to those blogs, or whatever that last site is supposed to even be. Primary source information on the studies done by the University would be a good start.

Most "science" publications publish "science"... meaning papers based on empirical research, repeatable experiments and testable claims.

Creationism is not based on those things, and therefore it is not science. Therefore, until they find evidence to back their claims, they have no place in a scientific publication.

I don't attend that university, so I can't find and publish their results.

As defined by their view of science. You'll note that when scientists find things like C-14 or soft tissue in bones that are supposedly mllions of years old, they can only get published in alternative publications.
Again, nobody is asking for blogs, news forums (it's not even the BBC, it's just someone on their forum) that just link back to those blogs, or whatever that last site is supposed to even be.
Consider, for instance, the following item from the June 11, 1891 edition of the Morrisonville, Ill. Times:
A curious find was brought to light by Mrs. S. W. Culp last Tuesday morning. As she was breaking a lump of coal preparatory to putting it in the scuttle, she discovered, as the lump fell apart, embedded in a circular shape, a small gold chain about ten inches in length of antique and quaint workmanship. At first Mrs. Culp thought the chain had been dropped accidentally in the coal, but as she undertook to lift the chain up, the idea of its having been recently dropped was at once fallacious, for as the lump of coal broke...the middle of the chain became loosened while each end remained fastened to the coal. This is a study for the students of archaeology who love to puzzle their brains over the geological construction of the earth from whose ancient depth the curious is always dropping out. The lump of coal from which this chain was taken is supposed to come from the Taylorville or Pana mines (in southern Illinois) and almost hushes one's breath with mystery when it is thought for how many long ages the earth has been forming strata after strata which hid the golden links from view. The chain was an eight-carat gold and weighed eight penny-weights.

Voila!!! The actual newspaper article!!!

They can be found. Certainly one of those Creationist organizations could come up with it. Or even just a statement from the University about whether they were involved would be nice.

That's not the actual newspaper article. It's someone writing about a newspaper article. An article he neither links to (which of course probably wouldn't be possible) but he doesn't even directly source it in his source section. He just says "Here's an article" without offering any way of verification other than the secondary source from where he got it. A source that I can't find. INFO Journal? I can't find anything about it.

The owner of the Creationist Museum who bought the London Hammer from the original finders has never let any scientists study it, nor can I find any evidence that the finders ever did before they sold it. The mineral it is embedded in is not coal but a limestone concretion. (It is the bell that was supposedly in a lump of coal, I have not yet found more information about that).

Limestone concretions like the one that encased the London Hammer build up very quickly under the right conditions, People who have access to caves with the right conditions often leave objects to be concreted with limestone, and then sell them as novelties to tourists. I could try to find one and then I could have my own london Hammer. A genuine one, not a reproduction like the Museum sells. It won't tell me a thing about the age of the earth

Sir Charles Lyell whose Principles of Geology (1830) popularized the concept of uniformitarianism. Significant because this brought the theory of catastrophism to an end.

How does that count as "creation science"?

I am just asking for a citation, though I would like to read the article if it was available.

Its not a gear,though is it?

Also from the link you provided:
"One scientist, geologist Sharon Hill, who goes by the name "idoubtit," says this entire story is "laughable." Writing in Doubtful News.com, Hill insists "there are so many red flags, you should discard it entirely."

Among the red flags Hill wonders about are, "Why is it not published in a journal? We have to accept the man's word for it, where he found it and how he discovered it? Why speculate on the alien origin of aluminum?"

Hill adds that "It's not part of a gear. It's a natural crystal formation I'd say. ... But as following the typical template for these stories, the extreme speculative and dramatic interpretation is hyped over any consideration of an actual explanation. That's sad because it could be cool."

The Voice of Russia says that Russian scientists won't jump to conclusions and will run more tests on the metal object."

Is this really the best of the best when it comes to falsifying deep time?

BTW: Do you believe my toaster-oven story?

Wow. False, false, false. Schweitzer published her research on dinosaur bone in the well known journal Science. She has been roundly praised for her work by her colleagues. You don't care if you just make stuff up, do you?

Consider, for instance, the following item from the June 11, 1891 edition of the Morrisonville, Ill. Times:
A curious find was brought to light by Mrs. S. W. Culp last Tuesday morning.

So, forget the pickaxe and the bell... now we have a chain. well, at least we have a citation from a newspaper article. That's considerably more than we had for the other anecdotal stories, one of which you botched badly, but still haven't acknowledged.

I will ask again. Is this really the best evidence for a young earth?

What? Alternative publications like Science?

Quoted (and emphasized) for Truth.

Its all a part of the tactic of throwing as much mud against the wall as possible, hoping that some will stick.

If he did care, he wouldn't be a creationist!


I hate to over-generalize, but it is hard to do the kind of intense research I've been doing of YEC publications without come to that same conclusion.

Some stereotypes are well justified.

I think it could not only be cool, it could have some pretty significant implications for the entire notion of "fossil fuels." If coal can form in short periods of time and we have a 200 year supply of coal, then we may never run out of efficient sources of energy.
Is this really the best of the best when it comes to falsifying deep time?
I just saw the stories and thought them to be very interesting. Anyone with a real interest in science would want to know more. Internet scientists just want to shut up those who don't agree with them.

But it isn't. Why is it being called a "gear?"

Obviously if they can't de-bunk it, they ignore it.
Or if you cannot debunk deep time, you just quote anecdotal stories about stuff found in coal seams.


Well, that pretty much proves she's unqualified.
Why? Because you don't like what she said?

I think it could not only be cool, it could have some pretty significant implications for the entire notion of "fossil fuels." If coal can form in short periods of time and we have a 200 year supply of coal, then we may never run out of efficient sources of energy.

That's a big "IF."

I just saw the stories and thought them to be very interesting. Anyone with a real interest in science would want to know more. Internet scientists just want to shut up those who don't agree with them.
[/QUOTE]
"Internet scientists" just want to keep down the spread of misinformation and downright lies.


Ah, good for her. Most of the time journals reject such findings. Last I heard people were just attacking the messenger and doubting the evidence.
What do you know about what scientific journals do "most of the time?" I would wager you know Nothing about the subject. You just have your little creationist paranoid fantasies about what goes on in scientific journals because you don't like what they publish.


Actually, they were all part of the same thing; strange man made things found in rocks. The machinery piece was only the first one I found. The bell and the hammer were in related articles.
These are all anectodal stories that either have mainstream explanations or are misrepresented. You don't want to hear them, because you prefer "coal is made in a few years" fantasies.

Yes, this is the real evidence for a 6,000 year old earth. No one looks at the planet, or the geological evidence and concludes the earth is only 6,000 years old. If it really was 6,000 years old, one would think it could be determined independent of counting up geneologies in scripture. In any case, it is not clear that these genologies are complete, or that they go back to the beginning of the planet (rather than just the Garden of Eden), or that they are even real in the earliest entries.

Since when? Name some examples.

And yet no one can find rabbit fossils in Cambrian strata, or whales and trilobites in the same desposits. The only things you can find are unconfirmed claims in newspapers that have no science to back them up.

You were asked for evidence, not more claims.

You asked for the best evidence. You can't get better than the word of God.
