Questions About Adam and Eve

[peter grimes]

Here's the punchline from the petrified flour "article":

A small sample of petrified flour was chipped from one of the bags for analysis. It was like hammering hard rock. Microscopic examination revealed that the flour was still present, but all the air space had been filled with tiny calcium carbonate crystals. There was no burlap bag remaining—it must have rotted away.

We are told repeatedly that petrification (or petrifaction) requires an unimaginably long time—millions of years—to occur. Because of this cultural conditioning, people are surprised to discover that rocks can form quickly.

Umm, if there's flour present then it's not petrified. I think the "sciency writers" at Creation.com should consult a higher authority now and then.
Petrification

But what's up with these links, classical_hero? I thought you were a geologist? You should be able to spot this garbage with your eyes closed.

Hey, it's our old friend limestone again.

And finally got around to reading the Fascinating fossil fence-wire.

What's fascinating about the fossil fence wire is that it isn't fossilised. As they explain themselves:

It is clear that sand, shells and shellgrit accumulated around the wire. Then iron oxide compounds from the rusting wire acted to chemically bind this sandy shellgrit into solid rock around the wire. All of this happened in a few decades, not millions of years.

And all of this isn't fossilization.

Really CH, you are smarter than this. I have seen you make enough rational arguments to convince me you are capable of rational thought. Surely you can see the glaring weaknesses in the articles you posted.

Believe in Creationism all day long, it doesn't bother me one bit. But it does bother me that you submit to these scams willingly and present them as if they are clear evidence. And now you've posted them, you're either forced to defend them or stay silent on the matter.

Come to the light brother, reject the lies of that dastardly site!

I read a short Creationist article about how mathematics supposedly proved that the Earth's population doubled every 150 years, dating back to Noah's Ark some time (allegedly) in the third millennium BC. The sad thing about this was that the author was clearly so in love with the sums supposedly supporting his religious beliefs that he was wilfully ignoring the fact that the world's population was neither 2 billion in 1700 or 4 billion in 1850, just because it will happen to be close to 8 billion in a few years time.

Amount of evidence that continents moved at those speeds in previous post: 0

But there's an encrusted water wheel. So continents must have moved at those speeds.

Well guys, I guess the game is up. We're busted

The book that I read containing the information I presented was written by an evolutionist, so please leave creationist out of it. BTW, the origin of species is not about creation and neither was the Flood. I apologize for side tracking the thread on a totally different topic than Adam and Eve, but the OP brought up where the Garden went and I just happened to be reading a book on the subject of misplaced kingdoms.

Perhaps God should have said, do not lift the monolith without the proper meditation, for the day .......

Even if I'm not convinced by what you've posted, you've made this thread way cooler and that's a fact.

You're absolutely right. It's not about abiogenesis either.

The post I reacted to had creationist in it. So please take your complaint to the proper helpdedk

[AdamCrock]

What was first ? The chicken or the egg ?

 

[Berzerker]

egg, chickens evolved later

Asimov in Sentinel?

 

[Berzerker]

no, "use the Schwarz"

 

[timtofly]

Asimov in Sentinel?

No, just speculating.

 

[peter grimes]

No, just speculating.

I've haven't yet read Sentinel, but your line seems completely compatible, from what I gather.

 

[Rashiminos]

What was first ? The chicken or the egg ?

Simultaneous appearance.

I have trouble believing that the Flood could have killed the Tree of Life. That'd be a letdown.

The axe capable of felling that tree is not easily accessible, nor is anyone we know of sufficiently negative enough to wield it.

 

[PhroX]

If you mean egg in the general sense, sure. But if you mean egg in the sense of a chicken egg, well, it gets more interesting...

 

[Perfection]

No it doesn't it just gets vague

 

[warpus]

Because we don't have a clear definition of what a chicken is and as such no clear dividing line between the last non-chicken and the first chicken. Nor should we, really, though.

 

[MilesGregarius]

Every Thai preschooler knows that chicken comes first.

The first letter of the Thai alphabet:

Gor Gai. Gai = chicken.

The second letter of the Thai alphabet:

Khor Khai. Khai = egg.

Silly falang, it's as easy as ABC...
