I think that was me.

oh, good.

I was worried that someone with valuable input said it.

Luckily you don't know anything about me.

I don't worship science. Nor do I worship math, writing, reading, art, etc.

You're just exhibiting a creepy vibe when you tell people that they worship something, when they don't.

Inversely, I could say you worship ignorance, self-convolusion, delusion, misguidance; basically everything the devil stands for.

But I'm not gonna say that.

Since I'm more polite than that.

Its OK that people believe the "Flood" was like the traditional story every generation before our own has passed down.

The greatest minds that ever lived before now believed the story.

What is important though, is that the "Flood" story is very accurate in its direct analogy with the evolution of modern man, and cries out for us to tell it in just that rational a way for evermore.

What did they eat?

Hahahaaaaa...
But don't be foolish in thinking that fossils prove first life.

The assumption was naive for the biologists when they tried to "invent" a classification that separated the six rock layers according to those with evidence of life locked inside, (Phanerozoic Eon), and those without such evidence (Pre-Cambrian or Cryptozoic eon).

Today, we know life existed that left no fossils, and way way before those dates you listed above.

Yes, "bacteria enriched the early atmosphere with oxygen" like the plants do now.

This enrichment took many million of years:

First Information is only relevant to an intelligent agent.

No, it isn't. Information is a very important concept in physics were information is passed between one physical state to another.

I do not know what your string of base pairs does so obviously how can you interpret a change in entropy?

Then pick a gene with a known function and show what it looks like with information added to it and information taken away. Until you do this you can not make any claims with regards to information and genetics.

I do sense that you know nothing about information theory so when someone speaks about a loss or gain in entropy you are clueless.

If we are using Shannon information as our model then we could treat a DNA binding protein and a DNA sequence as the sender and receiver. Any increase in the bidning of the protein to the DNA sequence would be considered an increase in information. This is exactly what Schneider modeled in his ev computer model, and he observed that random changes filtered through selection produced an increase in information:

Evolution of biological information

So yes, the mechanisms of evolution can increase information.

Only in it's entire premise. The weak should die so that the species more fortunate to be able to cope with environmental stresses will survive and prosper.

Nowhere does the theory of evolution state that the weak SHOULD die. Nowhere. You are confusing an is with an ought.

Is–ought problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You might as well claim that the theory of gravity states that people ought to fall, therefore we should be pushing people off tall buildings.

Let's cut the chase, shall we? What type of geologic formation, if observed, would falsify a recent global flood? Please be specific.

This is what you would call a horribly flawed conclusion. Correction; a loud and horrible conclusion

If you're going to refute the findings of a published article, you need to show how it is flawed rather than just saying that it is. Not necessarily in the same detail, but some specifics would be nice.

Show us all then how The Flood produced miles of chalk, as we see in England. ....

The major features of the Chalk (purity, thickness,
wide geographical occurrence, clear evidences of deposition
in thick beds rather than laminae, erosive horizons,
sedimentary structures of mounds and slumping, uneven
distribution of fossils) are not adequately explained by
uniformitarian models. Chalk

And this would be what we call an assertion without any backing. Seems to be a specialty of yours.

OK. Millions MUST DIE so beneficial changes can occur. Is that better? I'm not sure K-8 is ready for these "truths."

We don't know enough details on the Flood.
Science does very poor with historical facts.
Any that are suggested are often disputed later.
