Yes, very much so.
Who are you talking about?
No, that's not really correct. But before I spend time on this, are you interested in going over the science?
really? I have also. it changed my view.
creation scientists.
I went over the science. But I am always open. thats how i changed my view before
we are looking at science in different ways.
So let's take a look at the specific strata in the canyon.
Yes. Considering the participants of this forum as a group, we have studied creationist material to some depth, beginning with The Genesis Flood by Whitcomb and Morris, which started the modern YEC movement, and followed the work of the major creationist ministries, such as the Institute of Creation Research, Answers in Genesis and Creation.com. We a familiar with the basic creationist apologetics (including the "retrofit river" argument, a version of which you are presenting here) and why the are considered spurious. As a group we bring to the discussion professional qualifications and experience in at least math, physics, geology and biology. From the religious standpoint we are a mix of atheists, agnostics, mainline Protestants and Traditional Christians.
Creationist organizations pull in millions of dollars per year. Why haven't any of them gone out and done what you suggest? Have you contacted them and submitted a proposal?
Which is?
So "go out and look again with updated and more sophisticated instruments" means "read the Bible"? Weird.
taken from Biologos webpage.. should i read that to see what it says?So let's take a look at the specific strata in the canyon.
Are you familiar with each of those and what they're made of?
Not me, and I never claimed to be. My area of a expertise as it pertains to this discussion is mathematics, In any case, my interest in the subject of creationism is theological rather than scientific.
Your making a claim yourself
what I am familiar with is learning in history class that people of the ancient world were afraid to sail to far from their home. because the general thinking was that the earth was flat. and they were afraid they would fall off the end of the earth.
many of them have.. why do you think those of us who have seen it have changed our views.
I"d like to know how you account for the Yellowstone Hot Spot that was off the Oregon coast 50 million years ago and shows up in Southern Oregon 17 million years ago as the North American Plate moved over it. And where today we can physically see its burn path to it's present location. Where do you see any sign of a Global Flood in that burn path, or signs of a young Earth? Those signs simply do not exist.
