Re: oh nonsense!
It is frustrating to have so much trouble trying to find the answer to a single question such as "What birds are found with dinosaurs in what strata in what parts of the world?" And "in what parts of the world has the stratum of the Jurassic period been found?" And "How different are the sediments in a particular layer of the Geo Column from that same supposed layer in another part of the world?" And again, "How do you know this layer here is the same as that layer there?" Really, as I've said, I'd have to BECOME a geologist to get a grip on all this information.
Not a geologist, just a bit of study both from textbooks and a few field trips till you understand the evidence before you. Of course, once you are acquainted with the 'theory', be prepared to handle someone coming up to you and saying 'All this is bunk,you are deluded and wrong, and only I have all the facts right'.
But it isn't to be personalized. The fact is observable that the moral tone of the schools has degenerated dramatically just in the last half century, past sexual permissiveness on to murder based on nihilistic values, as well as the intellectual quality. This is what Hodge predicted and he was right. This is not about individuals, it's about the inevitable development of the atheistic worldview. It simply does inevitably lead to such cultural deterioration although many individuals nevertheless maintain the Christian standards of the old culture that is fast disappearing, without knowing that is where those standards came from originally. Now, please try to get this in the spirit in which it is intended. I am NOT insulting anybody. This is about the Zeitgeist as a whole and its overall effect on the culture, not about individuals.
While not an American, I have a fair knowledge of your history. You say the country is going downhill as the result of teaching ToE and atheism. I would point out, to the best of my knowledge, that, from the President down, through the Federal houses down to State Legislatures, seem to have had a majority of Christians in power for the last half-century or far longer. Are you saying Atheists should be in power to promote Christian values?
