You are too narrow minded in your beliefs as to what makes a person a good engineer. That is a pretty lame litmus test, in spite of your desire to make that a litmus test. > Would you state as FACT that the world is 6000 to 10000 years old? > Probably not.

Tesla, Newton, Shockley. These strange thinking people were still capable as engineers/scientists. Rather than trying to state that people who believe in God/ Christianity make bad engineers, you, rather, should embark on a mission to figure out why , in spite of your ideas of what makes sense, so many religious people throughout the ages were able to carry on incredible scientific work. > Christianity is like eating food from a pantry. > Tasty food is picked but what's always dodged and never thrown away is > the jar of rotten worms. > Tell that to the millions of people who have voluntarily put themselves in harms way for no other reason than their Christian faith. > -- > D from BC > British Columbia

I already told you IDIOT! The "day" of God is NOT the same time reference as our day. You stupid twit!

So dinosaurs turned into birds in the blink of an eye, eh? Or was it that they merely "wanted" to fly, and "evolution" answered them in a positive way? You are pathetic, at best. You are an absolute idiot, boy.

Is it exposed? My reference was to exposed strata. We know of thicker deposits, not that you would be aware merely because you attended some classes. You sound just like "some idiot".

The current "Earth" is a bit over 4.5 billion years old. The masses and conglomerates that it massed together from is a billion years older than that. The star that filled our local space with iron and various other debris went supernova some millions of years prior to that. The big bang occurred 7 billion years before that. 13 billion years ago, God "created the heavens and the Earth"... which is to say that God's "day one" was 13 billion years ago, and "the heavens and the earth are stars and the elements. You are a total retard to think that folks believe that the 7 day reference is 7 turns of our planet. It is not. Never was. Use some common sense, you retarded little sub-human puke. We were created. Over 2000 years ago, the folks that wrote about it had limited knowledge of the Earth, and they wrote with what knowledge they had. Now run off and go be a total retard somewhere else. You lose. The argument is over, dumbfuck. |
