The dating of rocks and bones does nothing to prove or disprove Creationism. So freely saying that this bone is 80,000 years old is based on no evidence. The oldest that evidence goes back is 5,000 years old about, although I believe the earth is about 6,500 years old, because 1,500 years can make a big difference, when you're not dealing with millions and billions. Freely using the word facts when you morons are referring to crackpot theories is worse than saying there is a fairy kingdom.
Try again, there has been numerous datings that give values of rocks well into the billions of years.

Always you morons compare Genesis to a fairy tale and think you're being the intellectual here. Always you morons say "saying there's god is saying there's a magical elf-land", but who does saying god mean that you believe in elves? Instead of trying to say something half-way relevant, you just use the word facts when talking about seriously flawed (sp?) theories and think you're on the side of the truth. You just say the same things: "oh yeah, well people with glasses and labcoats say the universe is 15+ billion years old, ha-ha!".
Umm, potassium-argon dating is a fact, you want to dispute that? Go ahead!

Believing that the universe just came out of nothing and comparing myth-based Greek philosophical theories and Catholicalism's attempt to divert the possible science funds to more taxes proves that you are the moron. To call Christians trusting only in faith and you uniformitarians on the side of science (does every uniformitarian moron forget the phrase religious science), you are just ignoring the fact that you must have ENORMOUS faith in theories by people who witnessed nothing and are making theories about things that we can't get close to (the universe, for one) is trully ming-boggling.!
Mind boggling doesn't mean we can't glean some good information about it, should gravity be thrown out because of that arguement, no, because it is clearly a mechanism through which the universe works, same with evolution! As for calling us morons, clearly you should understand that evolution doesn't explain the universe came from nothing, it says nothing about the origin of the universe, it talks about how life developed from a common origin. As for complexity should we try to understand it or just say "If I don't understand it, then god must have made it" I don't understand TV reality shows, but sure as hell god didn't create that (Unless you want to contend that god is a sadistic SOB).

All of the "evidence" of evolution are either made-up or patched together from the two animals they want to be prove evolved.
1. All the evidence just wasn't "made up" believe it or not:
There is a fossil record showing a common origin
There is a vestigial structures showing a common origin
There is a chemical/genetic correspondance showing a common origin
There is a and explanitory structure with mechanisms that have been shown to work showing a common origin
I would go on, but you get the point
2. Evolution applies to plants, protists, fungi, archaea and bacteria too, let's not show too much ignorance!
Packer-Backer said:
There has been no discoveries of any links between two species beyond already existing species that still cannot be proven as a link.
Umm, that sentance was poorly worded; I have no idea what you're trying to say! I'll just mention that we've observed speciation, and there are transitional fossils and hope that's enough to placate you
Packer-Backer said:
Just because most animals have legs and a lot of legs look alike doesn't mean they all evolved from one thing.
No, but the commanility of structure of the legs of animals within the same phylum coupled with DNA/Chemical linkages, Evo-Devo correspondances and fossils and other stuff that I can't think of right off the bat does!
Packer-Backer said:
The foundation of the universe and living beings (like DNA, which stores information better than any computer ever to be made) is too complicated to have come out of nothing.
You're confusing evolution with abiogenesis again, evolution goes to the common ancestor, abiogenesis shows how it came from the conditions on early earth, cosmology shows how earth came from the stardust, big bang theory shows that stars come from a single tiny point. No science claims that the big bang came from nothing. So you see, your arguement has no weight!
Packer-Backer said:
Tell me how you can call yourself reasonable and believe in theories involving billions of years and theories with no witnessed evidence.
I can't, that's why I don't believe in those thoeries. However since evolution has a plethora of witnessed evidence I come to believe it as true!
CenturionV said:
Well I can't "prove" its untrue, unlike evolutionist I am not so brain dead as to claim proof to something that is by its very nature unprovable by science.
When evolutionists use proof we use it in the same way that courts do, sort of the "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" mentality that the American court system uses. Sure we cannot logically declare that it is 100% pefectly true, but the evidence can be used to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. As for calling evolutionists brain-dead, well I agree that some are, like the great Stephan Jay Gould and Charles Darwin. Of course, they all wrote thier books before they were brain dead and frankly numerous christians are brain dead too, even Albert Einstien is brain dead!
puglover said:
The evidence against Darwin's theories are not found in the Bible. The big picture simply is the fact that evolution couldn't work in actuality.
You want to back that statement up?

Pefection just laid down a devastating hail of fire that few religionists would want to be caught in!
Nice post, man!
Just doing my duty!

Quite frankly, I don't understand at all the "logic" of these creationists.
That makes two of us!
Pointlessness said:
To Perfection and everyone else trying to explain science to creationists: it is futile. Creationists tend to ignore all scientific evidence that does not agree with them. Hell, I bet they have absolutely no idea on what you are talking about. That is because they prefer to remain unaware of the truth, trapped in their corner of darkness and ignorance. Their religious bubble shelters them from science, history, and logic. Not to worry, though. I believe religion will eventually die out in several centuries and milleniums, due to some historical trends.
Call me an idealist, but I think some of the younger creationists can be "shown the light" so to speak. Anyways, I think that having evolutionists appear logical in debates will convince those on the fence such as
