Not all 38000 Christian denominations will agree with you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day-Age_Creationism ..[83] "Young Earth" creationists believe that the seven "days" of Genesis 1 correspond to normal 24-hour days while Day-age creationists, more willing to adjust their religious beliefs to accommodate current scientific findings, hold that each "day" represents an "age" of perhaps millions or even billions of years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_1:2 I look at the way it's used in the bible .. 1st day..2nd day..3rd day.. It's quirky to express a timeline as 1st unknown period of time 2nd unknown period of time 3rd unknown period of time. More to the point would be: 'God did this and then did that and then did this....' In biblical times goat trading must have been difficult. One could say they'll pay the next day. That could mean billions of years! A day in biblical times means sunrise to sunset. Only a god can do that in a day! Only a retarded God needs more than a day to get things done. In the 1700's were people understanding the bible wrong when the age of the universe wasn't known? -- D from BC British Columbia

I don't know how much is, or isn't. It's a scenic drive along "Ronald Reagan Freeway" (the 118) that takes you past layer after layer of rock, for miles and miles. > My reference was to exposed strata. Yes. Why? That doesn't make it relevant just because you wandered off on a tangent in a previous reply. > We know of thicker deposits, not that you would be aware merely because > you attended some classes. "The thickest deposits are over 792 vertical meters thick, and that is exposed." ", and that is exposed" is a real nice addition that doesn't alter your statement that "The thickest deposits are over 792 vertical meters thick." > You sound just like "some idiot". "As far as where did current sedimentary deposits come from? They came from silt settling while the continent was covered by an ocean." Someone who sounds like an idiot (that's you) thinks limestone came from silt deposits.

It starts with gliding, then better gliding, then much more better gliding until the gliding is so good that it's called flight. Here's an example of reptiles with flight behavior. Flying snake and flying dragon lizard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIYAYuuv2qQ There's no fossil record of birds suddenly appearing and spreading over the earth from Noah's arc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur_feathers There's evidence of transitions from dino to bird. Semi-bird. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeopteryx -- D from BC British Columbia

It is not. Never was. Use some > common sense, you retarded little sub-human puke. You mean like Dubya Bush? He appointed a halfwit from his campaign team called Deutsch with forged academic credentials to deface NASA websites and censor what their scientists wrote about Big Bang Cosmology and AGW. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/08/politics/08nasa.html?_r=1 "Only a Theory" (sic) used in the derogatory manner of the YEC. Bishop Usher had an excuse. When he made his 6000y estimate it was a reasonable thing to do given the available evidence then. Lord Kelvin was able to give Darwin a hard time on evolution because there was no known power source that could make the sun shine for billions of years. Modern science has airbrushed out Lord Kelvins acerbic contribution to the debate in favour of saying he anticipated nuclear power. He did no such thing. He argued vigorously that Darwin and the geologists must be wrong because the sun would run out of coal (best known fuel at that time) far too quickly for evolution to be correct. http://www.uh.edu/engines/epi144.htm He didn't get any thanks for this from his own side because his lifetime estimate for the Earth was still a lot more than 6000y. Unfortunately in America there is a large rump of medieval superstition sat in the Young Earth Creationist movement who interpret the words in a particular version of an English translation of the Bible literally. They sincerely believe the Earth is 6000-9000 years old and will deny any and all scientific evidence to the contrary. Unclear to me how many of them eat bacon, pork and shellfish which is pure hypocrisy given that Leviticus 11 is very clear on what is allowed. > > We were created.

The majority of established Churches are determined to maintain their power base and income by keeping people in fear and ignorance. Regards, Martin Brown |
