    The Isle of California

    I think it's sad you condone his behavior. The culture on this forum has just become appalling.

    The Isle of California

    And when people say they don't, and you irrationally accuse them of being incapable of having an adult conversation... that's not trollish behavior? You think that's how one rationally convinces people they're wrong? You're almost as bad as AV.

    The Isle of California

    And it took 21 posts before he decided to even try and make that point. Trolling is trolling even if I fall on the same side of the argument as the troll.

    The Isle of California

    Just more reason northern California should be it's own state, if you ask me!

    YECs and Tar Pits

    They're identified by a suite of criteria including but not limited to: lithology, fossil content, placement within local or regional stratigraphy, and absolute age. It doesn't really matter for the point I'm trying to make. The Moenkopi Formation and the Chinle Formation in northern Arizona...

    YECs and Tar Pits

    I am talking about layers, and they came from every sort of depositional environment imaginable - river systems, lakes, near-shore and far-shore marine, etc. Why do you ask?

    YECs and Tar Pits

    This argument works for the entire geologic column. The fossil record conforms beautifully to the principle of faunal succession no matter where you're looking or what taxa you deal with. The fossil record is very very heavily sorted - science explains this by saying that it's sorted with...

    Who said there were no new phylums?

    There are no such things as phyla, it's an meaningless and arbitrary term meant to be used in a system created by a creationist who thought the entirety of life fit into a planned hierarchy created directly by God. I can pronounce my dog to be a new phylum and it's just as meaningful.

    "Nobel laureates: ban creationism in Scottish schools"

    IMO, young earth creationism has a role in a science class room, and it's providing students with a proper understanding of the history of science. It should be portrayed as the old paradigm through which geology (and other sciences) used to be interpreted before an overwhelming amount of...

    Young Earth,Old Earth Which Is It?

    There's nothing incompatible about Christianity and acceptance of an old earth, and I think everyone would agree God would never hold it against someone if they landed on the wrong side of the debate, one way or another. The only interpretation of the evidence that works is that of an old...

    Global warming advocates shouldn't use bad science

    This is in reference to this article which I found on yahoo. It points to this paper which claims that polar bears are spending less time out on the ice on Hudson Bay and that this is depriving them of yummy yummy sea mammal calories which has a negative effect on their health. Unlike the vast...

    Our Miserable Future

    Parsimony is not a law, more like a preference or a recommendation. I bias I suppose, we are to be biased towards parsimony.

    Why Should We Reject Creationism?

    I have a quest here on these forums, and that's to get young earth creationists to name some geological formations that were deposited during the Flood. Perhaps you can help me out with this, can you name some sediments in the world that were deposited by the Flood? He was referring to me so...

    Why Should We Reject Creationism?

    If the evidence suggested that the earth was ~6000 years old and had once experienced a global flood then those facts would have to be taught in science classes, and our science would have to accommodate those details. So that's pretty much the central problem for creationism in my mind, that...

    15 Questions for Evolutionists CMI

    It wasn't until the 70s that anyone tried to look at biodiversity in a meaningful way. Heck, it wasn't even until the 80s that the 5 major mass extinctions were identified! And, fine, let's say that those are human tracks next to dinosaur tracks - they're not but let's pretend that they are...

    If the Noahic Flood was global (& lasted a year), why no evidence of it? (2)

    No they don't. Even if you're talking just megafauna the end-Pleistocene extinction rate at the species rank isn't even close to 95%.

    15 Questions for Evolutionists CMI

    Strange how the people most well-acquainted with the evidence all agree that it's the best explanation. One would almost think that people who say this kind of nonsense don't know what they're talking about.

    If the Noahic Flood was global (& lasted a year), why no evidence of it? (2)

    Math tells me that thousands of feet of water draining over the course of the year = rapid fluid movement. Are you calling Math a liar? Are you not familiar with the huge marsupial diversity seen in Australia and seen in South America's fossil record? Aaaaaaaand, we're up to 6 pages now...

    If the Noahic Flood was global (& lasted a year), why no evidence of it? (2)

    Why don't we start with the basics: can you name some geological formations (or members of formations or, heck, just some beds somewhere) that were created by the Flood? There is a 20 page long thread in the Origins Theology forum where that question has been asked and no young earth...
