Ok so because Eskimos couldn’t use a wheel it was useless to man all over the world, is that your point? So by that logic because snowboards are useless in the Philippines then they must be useless for everyone else in the world as well. Obviously that’s a false assessment, oh and wheels work just fine off road. Have you never seen a wheel being used in the grass or on a trail?

Are you just being argumentative for its own sake?
If so, here's a good place to stop.

In the event, if someone made a wheel of some sort
200,000 years ago there'd be no trace of it to be found now.

This cave painting shows a marsupial with the characteristic hind legs and tail.

Scientists believe this is Thylacoleo Carnifex also known as the marsupial lion.
The problem for YEC is that Thylacoleo became extinct around 30,000 years ago possibly due to climate change but the extensive fossil record allows scientists to reconstruct the appearance of Thylacoleo.

Thylacoleo is an amazing genus and a worthwhile illustration of evolution at work.

• While carnivorous it may have evolved from a herbivore.
• It is considered the most specialized carnivore that existed; its predatory habits are not found in current mammalian carnivores such as lions and tigers.

From a prehistorical perspective;

• Migrating humans became a competitor for Thylacoleo's prey from about 60,000 years ago which may have hastened or caused Thylcoleo's extinction.
• Humans may have been added to Thylacoleo's menu of prey.

I'm not surprised that an ambush predator who hunted kangaroos might be a real problem for humans.

I wonder if the earliest Ozzies met that giant monitor lizard.

Ok but making the blanket statement that I ignore scientist in general is inaccurate and not all YE scientists are working in fields that don’t directly involve the age of the earth. Many of them are archeologists and geologists and some are even cosmetologists!! XD

Yes, I'm sure that was a joke, but the reality is, if you look at these 'lists of scientists that doubt Darwin' and the like, you are quite likely to find people of dubious connection to actual science nevertheless being lauded for their dismissal of Darwin.

What's the difference between an amino acid that developed within life and without?

I'm guessing that about half of creationists fancy themselves more knowledgeable about science than they really are.
Ans so do most of the other half.

 

[tas8831]

No it isn't. And no I meant derived. There is a difference. Here is the section again in bold emphasis.

The Amino acids are not living organisms (in the experiment) and any amino acid that is USED by a living organism must have been derived by a living organism, so the experiment proves what?
In order to have life you must have organic material period.

Yes, and that is laughably false.

 

[tas8831]

Any amino acid used by cells originate from cells of either plants or animals. You must have life to get life in other words.

Completely false. Your "folk science" is irrelevant to real life.

Fact is its impossible for an educated person to
"dismiss" ToE without being intellectually dishonest.

See Dr. K Wise, PhD, paleontology-

'...If all the evidence in the universe turned against yec, I'd still
be yec as that is what the Bible seems to..."

If you were there how would you try to get rid of them.

 

[sjastro]

If you were there how would you try to get rid of them.

I'd run for the hills.
I have recurring nightmares about being chased by crocodiles which are tiny by comparison.

Megalania were carnivorous, humans would be snack food given their relative sizes.

He'd go for you. I am too tiny to bother with.

There would be no choice but to try to kill them off.

How?

You seem to have an obsession about killing; I hope this is not a Napoleon complex due to your height.
I believe in peaceful coexistence; I have to live with the second most poisonous snake on the planet which nests underneath the slab foundation and comes out of hibernation by Spring and sunbathes on the veranda.
Australians have died trying to kill these snakes apparently unaware these generally placid creatures become ultra-aggressive when threatened and can strike with amazing speed.

Worse than that.
My subdiminutive stature x descendancy from the
Great Kahm (Genghis)
produced in me The most Savage and Unnatural of microHanettes.

Ask around; they'll tell you.

On other matters, I'm happy you don't kill snakes.
Makes me sad when people do.

‘Regular’ science is today defined as atheist science - with a presupposition of materialism and naturalism.

It is? Which source says that?

 

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

If you were there how would you try to get rid of them.

I'd get the giant lizards to chase them away.

No not skipping it, I’ve already explained my position that six days is pretty hard to interpret as anything else. You’ve just failed to produce anything refuting that to promote any further discussion on it. You compared the flat earth debate with the young earth debate as if the evidence that the earth is ancient is as solid as the earth being a sphere and I explained exactly why it’s not. When we look at the earth from space we don’t have to rely on assumptions the way carbon dating, dendrochronolygy and thermoluminescence dating do. All we have to do is take one look at we it’s been established as undeniable fact that the earth is not flat, it is a sphere. Unlike the unseen conditions that must be true in order for the dating methods to be fact. That’s why they’re not facts, they’re theories.

In your own words, what does a scientific theory entail?
