fishy tales?
... fully aware that evolutionary science dates Neogene fossils ...
Can you tell me which "evolutionary science" is used to date fossils? Let's start with the natural science reference to biological sciences that include evolutionary biology:
quote:
The biological fields of botany, zoology, and medicine date back to early periods of civilization, while microbiology was introduced in the 17th century with the invention of the microscope. ... Some key developments in the science of biology were the discovery of genetics; Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection; the germ theory of disease and the application of the techniques of chemistry and physics at the level of the cell or organic molecule.
Modern Biology is divided into sub-disciplines by the type of organism and by the scale being studied. Molecular biology is the study of the fundamental chemistry of life, while cellular biology is the examination of the cell; the basic building block of all life. At a higher level, Physiology looks at the internal structure of organism, while ecology looks at how various organisms interrelate.
You can also check biological science and evolutionary biology for dating methods.
Just curious.
Just because you don't like something, even something scientific, that doesn't make it "evolutionary" or "evolutionist" - especially when what you are talking about is something unrelated to evolution - the change in hereditary traits in populations from generation to generation.
If somebody has told you so, then they are telling you lies.
"Is the catastrophy theory wrong or are evolutionary sciences dating methods wrong?"
You mean like the geological (stratigraphy), chemical (detecting Iridium) and physical (radiometric) dating methods used to date the catastrophic world-wide demise of the dinosaur era by the impact of a meteor, as well as similar earlier catastrophes that also resulted in mass world-wide extinctions (hence their being real catastrophes)?
That "catastrophe theory?"
Enjoy.

Why should I ask this question? Can you explain? I must be getting a bit dim in my old age.

Even if the dates were wrong, the flood still has a number of fatal flaws.
The fossil record does not show a homogeneous mix of primitive and complex organisms. If the flood happened, we should see T-rex fossils with humans and Anomalocaris. That doesn't happen.
And the flood has a various number of serious heat problems.
And what did the plants eat? Flooding the world with brine results in salted earth. Most plants, especially plants that herbivores eat, can't grow in soil that has material amounts of salt in it.
And how did Noah maintain the animals?

Why noone has found 100 million year old bear fossil, or human fossil? Because they did not live at the same time.
If there was one kind of fish befoure flood, where did sharks come.

Re: Micro-evolving tits, milk, live birth & massive brains
Actually, the term "dolphin" is used to describe either a cetacean ("whale-thingy") or a fish which is also known as the mahi-mahi or dorado.
(Coryphaena - Wikipedia)
A submariner's "dolphins" depict the fish.

(Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles)
Gentry's case depends upon his halos remaining a mystery. Once a naturalistic explanation is discovered, his claim of a supernatural origin is washed up. So he will not give aid or support to suggestions that might resolve the mystery. Science works toward an increase in knowledge; creationism depends upon a lack of it. Science promotes the open-ended search; creationism supports giving up and looking no further. It is clear which method Gentry advocates.

All good questions. Don't hold your breath expecting an answer from creationists though. I don't expect them to even acknowledge my posts exists.

Well, live and learn. So, the catastrophological viewpoint on the mahi-mahi would be that it is a kind of living fossil. It's obviously a micro-evolutionary intermediate between the original fish pair on the Ark and the cetaceans.
Thanks to the three people on the thread who've spotted this possibility, as it could be a landmark in catastropho-paleontology, and a clue towards the understanding of post-flood marine hyper-microevolution.

Re: Micro-evolving tits, milk, live birth & massive brains
Isn't it kind of pointless to discuss that when so many factors all point to the outcome that the flood never happened?

Re: Micro-evolving tits, milk, live birth & massive brains
Why is there even a discussion about the flood if the creationists cant answer to simple questions?
I haven't got any answer to these questions I have, so I dont belive there was a flood, therefore the bible lies about it and I dont belive in god. Evolution just makes more sense to me.

Something of a leap of logic there, I fear.

Re: Micro-evolving tits, milk, live birth & massive brains
I agree with the Doc. Just because the flood may be total hash as a literal event, doesn't mean the bible is false or that God doesn't exist. Furthermore, it does not prove that the concept of God, or Gods is false. The Abrahamic God's invalidity does not make all Gods invalid.

Errr... yes, obviously, my child.. Don't ask me about it. I'm not a catastrophologist.
