I have another time commitment right now, to go to, but I'll take #C, if someone else dosn't harpoon it first. Be back later.Da Moose------------------

C.) Old Earth - I can't help but chuckle when my science teacher screams accross the classroom that the earth is billions (4.5) of years old. What proof has he? Carbon-14 dating you say? Read and refute this lovely link before talking about old earth dating methods.

​

Another thing the evolutionists try to convince the weak minded with is the "layer age" theory. Supposedly each layer of the earth represents a different age. This is simply nonsense, and it doesn't take much but a global flood to explain this. Any thing else I'm forgetting? What about more circular reasoning with the geologic column. How do you know how old the fossils are?

​

Response: The layer they are in.

​

How do you know how old layer is?

​

Response: The fossils we find in them.

​

(circular reasoning)

​

To quickly establish a fact: the geoligic column is nothing but nonsense, and DOES not scientifically exist.

I'm not up to a personal response to this, but once again I put out my favorite link to a nice introduction to basic geology concepts.Radiometric Dating and the Geological Time Scale
Circular Reasoning or Reliable Tools?
at:
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/dating.htmlAmongst other things, biostratigrapy is covered.I also recommend going to the "Geologic Column" topic string, and looking at what is there:
