Re: Mistakes, distortions and lies
Lets face it -evolution is collapsing, everything in our universe is too perfect all the planets nicely balanced, etc. Evolution needs billions of years or its doomed, the evidence for a young earth is growing. No scientist could even explain the evolution of the bat with its radar -it either fully works or it dosen't, the eye, and thousands of other examples leave evolution silent. What it really boils down to is if we can eliminate God, then the message of the Bible and the need for a Saviour is false and we can live any way we choose. Just look at society -it is sick -it needs a SAVIOUR.

Hi Trev,
Your comments are just a wee bit off-topic in this thread. If you just want to sound off about your pet peeves, the best place for that is probably the [forum=-14] forum.

You left off the "Amen."
Because that's what you have delivered, a statement of belief, without a single piece of supporting evidence.
And that type of statement is the exact opposite of science. Perhaps you should have posted in a forum other than the Science Forum, eh?

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Young earth
Welcome to EvC Trev!
You've crammed a bit much into one post. We are supposed to stay on a particular topic here. It is an easy mistake to make though; we all forget often.
An important point is your claim that there is growing evidence for a young earth. You are right in thinking that if the earth is only a few thousand years old in reality then a lot of science is messed up (certainly not just biology).
I suggest that you focus a bit and have a look at:
Age Correlations and An Old Earth, Version 2 No 1
To suggest that the earth is young requires that you explain all the correlations there. Note: the correlations have to be explained as well as the individual facts. No young earth creationist has been able to touch this problem and you will find no websites that will help you.
Good luck. We are all interested int he "growing" evidence for a young earth since no one has brought any of it here before.

Re: Mistakes, distortions and lies
the evidence for a young earth is growing
So provide some. And not some biblical passage, some concrete evidence that has not be refuted 1000 times (PRATT).

Topic of this thead NOT the age of the Earth
Just a reminder. The topic of this thread is NOT the age of the earth. The intelligent, handsome, witty, debonair poster NosyNed suggested a thread to take that issue to.

And Dodwell was wrong. There wasn't any such impact, or flood, either.

Re: Mistakes, distortions and lies
the largest crater shape on earth is the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by an earthquake ring.
No, but seriously.
Anything that would leave a crater the size of the pacific ocean would have pulverized the planet.
