I beg your pardon?Well, AV1611, you can pack up your ball and bat and go home. But what does that say about you? Don't you think that is a big cop-out on your part? Probably what would help you and some others here is for you guys to go and take some courses on evolution and also the Bible. That way, you would have a much more solid informational base to work from.
Other parts of the flood model suggest that semi-aquatic animals would drown sooner than the land animals....which would cause them to be buried in lower strata. You call it evolution....semi-aquatic to land animals....I simply call it common sense.
Not necessarily.
Imagine a big mess of mud and animals splashing around and the earth's crust cracking and slabs drifting and what not.
There's many factors we can't be sure about, we only have a flood 'legend' to give some hints perhaps.
Looks like it, and if a huge cataclism is your model it can be accounted for.
You mistake imagination with fantasy.Yes, indeed.... "imagine".
You mistake imagination with fantasy.
The dictionary?How do you tell the difference between imagination and fantasy?
The dictionary?
Imagination is (also) a simulation of concepts you make in your mind.
I'm sure God is pleased to know that He's some kind of "transcendental imagination" --If you are asking me how I see God and evolutions as interacting, my answer is this: I do not think evolution would be possible without God. Evolution denotes the rise of genuine novelty, the actualization of creative potentials. Hence, there must be some source of transcendental creativity, some source of potentialities outside the box, so to speak. If you are going to have novelty, you need an imagimgantion. We have novelty in the world, so there must be some sort of transcendental imaginagioin,I,e., GOd.
How about I just admit I am going to go with my beliefs, and facts can take a hike?

Oddly enough, penguins are semi-aquatic animals, yet they only appear AFTER flying birds in the fossil record, and never before dinosaurs. Never.
Turtles. Also semi-aquatic. Appear after reptiles in general first show up.
Amphibians appear in all strata, top to bottom.
What kind of stupid question is that?Let's try that again...
If you imagine something, how do you tell the difference between the thing you imagined being reflective of reality, or the thing you imagined to be mere fantasy / fiction?
What kind of stupid question is that? You can imagine what an interior looks like when you have painted in a different color. Imagination is simulation, making things visual in your thoughts.
Surely even you can discern between your imagination and actual reality.
Otherwise you have serious mental health issues.
If I stopped "reconfiguring the facts to fit my beliefs", I would eventually become an atheist ... wouldn't I?That would be more honest than trying to reconfigure the facts to fit your beliefs.
Your wafers must be green, instead of white ... eh?At least it fits his job description.
When you bring some other method up, we'll discuss it.I don't recall saying that was the only way fossils were deposited.
It is impossible to explain the fossil record using natural science (which includes evolution) if the animals did not die by natural causes.So you can't explain the fossil record without using evolution?
