A mortal blow to Young Earth creationism

[Cypress]

I've always been curious to know which posters actually believe that Young Earth horse shit. I see you've gotten 38 pages worth of responses. Can't wait to dive in and see the whack jobs confirm themselves. I see Earl groaned your OP, so there's one.

Some Deplorables know it would be stupid to openly come out as a Young Earther, so they take the tactic of complaining that isotope dating and the fossil record cannot be trusted.

[Trumpet]

I think I would agree with that. Into the Night randomly regains consciousness and then compulsively spams a random thread with 10-15-20 rapid responses to random posters of four or five words that mean nothing. Then he slips back into a coma. I think the dude has some form of autism or something.

He certainly is not all there.

[Diesel]

Yeah, I've read a lot of things, but not stupid shit like that.

If it's what they say it is, and as old, we'd have to tunnel through bones to live. Bones would be stacked everywhere miles high on the earth's surface.

You are such an idiot. In order for your accumulation theory to make any sense whatsoever, you would need for bones of dead people to appear on the planet's surface every day. How often do you see human bones on the ground?

When did you stop believing in Young Earth?

It has been on and off for many years. My dad was a pastor and we went to visit a museum and he told me, after looking at the bones of dinosaurs and pictures with graphs of different epochs, he told me that there is nothing in the Bible that contradicts that. And that the dinosaurs and such existed before the "darkness of the Earth" (Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep).

As to the specific age? I think it was around 30 to 35 years. Keep in mind it was on and off. The irony is that I took physics courses at Liberty University.

Sorry I am just drinking as usual over the weekend.

Surprisingly, 40 percent of Americans think humanity is less than 10k years old

That is fascinating. So politically and scientifically speaking, at least a third of modern Americans living in the most advanced society that has ever existed in human history have a pre-Enlightenment understanding of the world. Our systems are so fucked up.

Hmmm ... in a mere 169,000 and 226,000 years mud on a cave wall becomes ROCK ... hmmm ... what kind of cave was it before ???

Anyone remember the Piltdown man ... and that was over a hundred years ago ... even our resident scientist can tell you about how techniques have improved.

However, we need a resident geologist to explain how mud on a wall can turn to rock. Mud would turn to slate in sedimentary rocks ... but that requires a whole bunch of time and pressure ... must have been magic mud.

Anyhoo ... what is the purpose of bringing religon into at topic about anthropology other than to start arguements. It ruined what could have otherwise been an interesting topic.

Because religion denies anthropology and science in general. Cypress was already pretty clear that s/he posted this to further prove that Young Earth creationists are living in a fantasy land.

Oh, like Into the Night. Yeah, I've gotten that far. People like that are just barely smart enough to not tattoo "IDIOT" across their foreheads, but not smart enough to agree with facts. In his particular case, I don't even think he's contrary on principle. He just likes to repeat himself ad nauseam that nothing is real and everything is wrong. I'm about to go pick up dinner, but I'm going to keep reading because you seem to have stirred a hornet nest.

Oh, good for you. I'll catch up to you and keep reacting to this thread. Should be fun.

Want to know another funny thing? Microbiology and Macrobiology courses were taught at that time I was a student at Liberty University.

All the same time they had a small Creationism museum there.

Talk about cognitive dissonance.

You don't know squat, but then that's to be expected given your penchant for whackjob conspiracy theories. It wasn't that long ago that a home solar array was out of reach for the average family, large and unsightly as well. The problem with you Luddite science-deniers is you want to give up before we've even begun. Don't worry; we'll go on without you.

Owl's expecting solar powered commercial airliners.

Around 80% of aviation CO2 emissions are emitted from flights of over 1,500 kilometres, for which there is no practical alternative mode of transport.

I really wish you'd drop the erroneous idea that I "hate anything to do with religion." It's utterly false. I am not an atheist, and I have found religions endlessly fascinating over the decades of my life. What I despise are those who use their chosen faith as a club rather than as a crutch to help themselves be better ppl.

Hmmmm........

Religion can be a crutch to some. A coping mechanism. It can also be a tool, a pathway to enlightenment. Not the dogma. That's mostly archaic perceptual error.

HOLY SHIT!!! I just went to their site and what did I see?

The Texas chapter of Chippendales?

They are lying about a lie.
