I Have Been Complexified!
The poor trilobites couldn't scurry away fast enough!
strangely, some flowering plants could!

Starcrystal said:You are more likely to survive than invertabrates. In a global flood scenario the smaller invertabrates and creepy crawly things were squashed and inundated. They didn't even see disaster coming. Their fossils are at the bottom of the fossil strata. Intermediate life forms, dinosaurs, other reptiles, etc were next to go. They lived mainly by instinct and were thrown into chaos. naturally we find those next in the fossil record. They survived a bit longer than the lower life forms. mammals could sense disaster coming and made for the hills, some climbing trees, etc. Though they didn't survive long, they did live a bit longer than the reptilian species, for the most part. Man, having the greatest intelligence could go to highest ground and was the last to perish when the waters flooded the earth. Thats why man is mainly at the top of the fossil record. For the most part, the fossil record is based on intelligence/brain capacity level.
This includes pollen, which comes in predictable layers, and animals of all sizes? How is it that some kinds of pollen are consistently below others? Some kinds of large animals are consistently below others? What about the iridium at the k-t boundary?Starcrystal said:Stratigraphy, fossiles & trace fossils: cataclysicmic deluge, sedimentary deposits, fossils layed down in order that creatures perished based on varying degrees of survival skills (Invertabrates & other simple life forms at bottom, amphibians & repiles in middle, mammals, including man at top...with some slight intermingling, giving APPEARANGE of age due to sedimenatary stratification.)
That's not the question. Radiographic techniques, especially K-Ar give dates. Regardless of your assumed accuracy, how do you explain these observations?Radiographic dating: an inacurate, unreliable method. Does not apply.
Again, that isn't the issue. Redshifts fit marvelously into an old universe, and meshes nicely with General Relativity. As does the cosmic background radiation, which was predicted from the Big Bang theory. The question is: how do these observations fit into your model? How can you explain them?I had to read up on stellar red shifts and am dismissing them as being any basis for evolution or age of the universe. Upon reading through 4 or 5 separate papers on the subject, the conclusion is: NO ONE EVEN IS SURE WHAT CAUSES IT!
Then answer me this one question, please! Just one.You are more likely to survive than invertabrates. In a global flood scenario the smaller invertabrates and creepy crawly things were squashed and inundated. They didn't even see disaster coming. Their fossils are at the bottom of the fossil strata. Intermediate life forms, dinosaurs, other reptiles, etc were next to go. They lived mainly by instinct and were thrown into chaos. naturally we find those next in the fossil record. They survived a bit longer than the lower life forms. mammals could sense disaster coming and made for the hills, some climbing trees, etc. Though they didn't survive long, they did live a bit longer than the reptilian species, for the most part. Man, having the greatest intelligence could go to highest ground and was the last to perish when the waters flooded the earth. Thats why man is mainly at the top of the fossil record. For the most part, the fossil record is based on intelligence/brain capacity level.
You know, I'd love to hear you explain why that would have any effect at all.Starcrystal said:most likely caused by the close proximity of Venus or Mars, or both over 4,000 years ago.
Jimmy the Hand,
Then why are there creatures with wings below hominids in the fossil record?
Mars has two very large ice caps.Starcrystal said:We know there was water on Mars: where is it??
Lucubratus said:I was on another thread that now I can't remember the title for - but I had a question about something that maybe someone here can answer or provide a link for?
I'm only wondering how scientists (or whomever)come up with the millions or billions of years calculations. I mean, how do they compare these numbers to the things that they have found? I can see where thousands of years is calculated because of artifacts from various civilzations that they can compare things to from a further back or closer timeframe, but how does that add up in the millions of years? What equipment is used, etc?
I'm not being combatitive, just could never figure that one out. (sounds silly I know, but I figured out calculus no problem and had trouble with algebra...lol)
Thanks
What!? Can you back this up?Starcrystal said:Ummm, there IS some evidence of humans and/or mammilian creatures coexisting with dinosaurs. Polluxy river basin in TX is one case.
What!? Evidence, please.There are also trillobites imbedded in human footprints.
A flood would sort fossils by size, weight, geographic location or other physical characteristics. But that's not what we see. Instead, we always see Triassic plants, animal fossils and pollen below Cretaceous below Jurrasic, and so on. Why are the first angiosperms found in the Triassic even though other plants died before and after this? Are you saying small flowering plants were able to swim above several hundred metres of flood deposits before giving up - all at the same point worldwide?Pollen, plants, etc, can float for some time before becoming waterlogged and sinking. They can also float vertically, which is why some plants are found intact in multi-strata which is (supposedly) separated by millions of years.
Wow, what a loony. Great human face statue! That's ludicrous, like saying that any rock that, at one point in the day when the shadows are just right, resembles a face must be an artifact. We see faces in anything, even dirt, clouds, or trees! And when the sun is slightly different, this "face" disappears completely.Unfortunately they dismiss his theories that WERE CORRECT in the process.

(To answer the Mars/Venus cataclysm...)
And you'll notice the complete lack of tidal changes because of this.Starcrystal said:In August 2003 Mars came much closer to earth than it has in centuries.
Because planets don't saunter around of their own free will. And because there would be evidence, both on earth and on mars. For a start, we should look for signs that the orbit was once very eccentric, and we should look for what sort of impact might have put mars into its current orbit.Why do people dismiss things such as this? We see they certainly CAN happen, so why deny that they HAVE happened in the past?
If this theory was SO out of whack and ridiculous... what got the scientists so bent out of shape? Fear of losing power, prestige, money, reputation??????? What really angered them was that they COULD NOT DISPROVE ANY OF IT! They tried, but Velikovsky met each argument point by point.
You're championing this.. person. Instead of just saying that some website says he isn't necessarily wrong, why don't you list some of the significant details? Like some evidence.Starcrystal said:"Many scientists and historians have criticised Velikovsky's works over the years, unfortunately, many have done so inaccurately resulting in the public's misconception that Velikovsky was "completely proved wrong".
No, there is not. Even AIG has disowned the Paluxy footprints as fake. There is NO evidence whatsoever of humans co-existing with dinosaurs.Starcrystal said:Ummm, there IS some evidence of humans and/or mammilian creatures coexisting with dinosaurs. Polluxy river basin in TX is one case. There are also trillobites imbedded in human footprints. A lot of this evidence was suppressed because it didn't fit the evolutionary model.
No, there is not. No, they do not. No, it did not. Sorry, but you're living in a dream world...Starcrystal said:Yes there is. Plesiasaurs swim in Loch Ness. A Japanese trawler pulled up a rotting plesiasaur carcass in its nets in the 70's. Just recently there were reports of raptor like dinosaurs on the island of New Guinea. The book of Job describes dinosaurs....
No, there is not. No, they do not. No, it did not. Sorry, but you're living in a dream world
No, you don't. A few moments' investigation (look up decent references, not crackpot sites) would tell you that the 'plesiousaur' explanation for the photos you give is completely unwarranted and not accepted by science.Starcrystal said:Yes there is. Yes they do. Yes it did. Sorry, I live in the real world.
