This thread is doing exactly what it set out to do: distracting.
Science is evidence-based. We've been discussing evidence in other threads, such as varves and homind fossils. RAZD presented evidence here for certain fossils that are found in certain layers of rock and what the dates are for those layers of rock. In another thread he gave evidence for why the Grand Canyon is not an example of catastrophic flooding. LinearAQ asked some questions about the scientific implications of Russ' version of chemistry presented here.
Distracting/dodging, whatever else you want to come up with to accuse creationists, as you constantly do (plus the ongoing accusals of us calling all scientists liars) probably won't lend anymore credence to your arguments and character than before, but keep trying if you think it might help your case. If anybody has been on here long enough, they won't be too fooled by your commentary games.
Science is evidence based, which is why evolution should not be preached in a science room. It is a theory tossed around and made out to be responsible for the origins of our universe, because the evolutionist is looking for an explanation to explain our beginnings and existence by ousting design and having us believe that it all arrived by chance. Not taking into account (or wanting to) the complexity, vastness and uniqueness, laws and balance of the entire universe, purpose, let alone the DNA molecule.
None of you have yet been able to prove or fully explain simplicity becoming complexity, except by unproven ideas and jumping into the middle and quibbling over fossils and dates. Either closing gaps between apes and men, or widening gaps between fossils that are almost identical to the same today, by exaggerating any differences or even size. Or spouting that scales/skin can become feathers (even though feathers are more related to hair and actually grow OUT OF skin). Ignoring all the evidence that shows the impossibility of such a process occuring, pictures included. Not realising how utterly ridiculous and insulting to intelligence it is in the first place. I guess if you want to believe something bad enough, it'll be a reality either way.
The tricks never cease do they linda? You want us to be related to apes, so the gap closes and similarities are exaggerated. Then when faced with literally identical fossils of the past to the ones of today, (e.g. plants, other animals, non ape examples etc), the gaps suddenly widen and are exaggerated....how funny you won't do this with the ape to man scenario <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Your next idea is to then accusing people of calling all scientists liars if they dare to challenge such ideas. All scientists, I repeat are NOT evolutionists (can you get that through your head Linda?). Or do you need that repeated to you for the umpteenth time? The many hoaxes of the past that were allowed to continue for far too long is clear evidence that the very fact they had these guys who studied them actually for sometime approved of them as a "missing link", is once again proof that they either cannot do their job properly or "won't" or shouldn't be trusted as readily! They have been and no doubt are, easily taken in by the WISHES for these things to be genuine and build their case around it and present it at the time as a fact or a probable missing link. If you can build your ape-man case around the tooth of a pig, then you'll get away with just about anything else. As they don't have much else, they're create one instead and then tell us the scenario that took place.
What makes you think that the ongoing bias and assumptions no longer continue and that now it's all factual? Considering the failure of them in the past to realise (or admit) to such hoaxes/exaggerations. The only one you keep bringing up is Kent Hovind's idea of the sun burning by combustion and this is your one big statement against creation, yet forgetting the MYRIAD of hoaxes/exaggerations/wrong assumptions from the 'science community" (or should I say the evolution side). That you conveniently forget or side step. Mistakes are one thing, but presenting something as a scientific fact to the public and keeping it going, even after it's been proven a fallacy is dishonest and deceptive and you know it. Gosh Linda, do you think maybe these evolutionists might just deserve to be challenged? Or maybe you think we should all sit back and swallow whatever they tell us?
The answers we get? The Bible is literally true. Evolution is a conspiracy and scientists are liars. We've heard these 100 times over here, they're easy to say. Interesting how all talk of any actual evidence flies out the window. And then some people even claim there is no evidence at all. I'd really like to take up the discussion of the hominid fossils again; no creationist here has been willing to comment on them.
I'll tell you what we do get Linda, particularly from you 100 times on here (if you want to be completely silly about it), is big exaggerated claims for LOADS AND LOADS of evidence and you guys supplying nothing more than bias assumptions and then expecting that to be swallowed as fact. No matter how disimilar or how similar fossils maybe, you have no evidence whatsoever, that one evolved into the other. That any are a product of so-called evolution. Those are simply claims Linda. The geologic column exists in the textbooks, did you not see my post on here or something? Or did you conveniently miss it? Should I accuse you of dodging too? How can you possibly claim order in geologic column and then try and and explain away why the fossils shown on here and dated (according to the evolutationary time frame) have contradicted that order completely? Showing many existing around the sametime period (you know the ones, the ones they supposedly evolved into).
Coming up with "we dated this fossil" or "we dated this layer" and this is what we came up with...... That's it. Dating the fossils by the rocks/layers, or the rocks/layers by the fossils and so it goes on. The geologic column being presented as complete and as a fact, completely contradicting the other statements just confuses people further, which I guess in the end, is the entire point. Confuse everybody and hope they won't catch on.
Oh and you want to talk about dodging/distracting? Last time you were cornered by sosick, you didn't handle it too well. Rather than present the evidence you had been spouting about, you instead accused sosick in an attempt to try and distract her away from the fact you didn't know how to answer. Then she asked you again and you took a very long break. Suddenly, out of the blue, on pops RAZD (who had been off this forum for a long long time). Interesting that. With new found confidence, you bounced back! RAZD came to the rescue (providing further distraction for you towards thread). what a relief that was to you.
You'll deny this of course, but dish out silly accusations and you'll receive the same back. Though this one was so blatantly obvious it was funny <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Isn't it time you cut the cr*p and stupid accusations on here? Ever consider that some of us get tired too? Need a break? Or do not feel the obligation to answer each and every post? I notice it's ok for any of you to do that, but not ok for us.
