I don't care about persuading people. :roll:


you also don't care about who you insult in doing so, either.


Really? It seemed intentional.

Stop using your computer!

You don't know enough about cosmology to know whether or not your computer use will cause the end of the universe!! !! !


Now you are just being insulting

perhaps I don't know much about fields outside my area of interest because when I ask people about them, they insult me and generally make jerks out of themselves.

in the twelve forums I've been a member of, Jono is the first person to actually put any effort into explaining anything to me, and convinced me in like, three posts.

Maybe if you spent more time explaining and less time insulting, you would persuade a lot more people.


You're welcome.

There is not an iota of credible evidence for a Young Earth. Not a single bit.

In case parakeet can't use Google . . .

http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/101_eviden ... e_universe
http://www.evolutionpages.com/Critique of Humphreys article.htm

Even the most basic understanding of science will expose the complete hog-wash that Humphreys, Batten, Comfort, etc. spew.

In common parlance "evolutionary theory" stands for the theory of biological evolution. That doesn't have anything to say about how old comets are.



The age of the earth and of the cosmos is the key to the anti-evolutionist position. If the earth is as young as the anti-evolutionists claim it is, then evolution (biological evolution) did not happen because there is not enough time for it to work.

Age is the very center of the argument.

Evidence for a young world

Author: Dr. Russell Humphreys, Creation Ex Nihilo 13(3):28-31, June-August 1991

Here are nearly a dozen natural phenomena which conflict with the evolutionary idea that the universe is billions of years old.


No there aren't. The proof is in the rocks. Potassium-Argon testing indicates this planet is over four billion years old.

There can be no recognized winner without actual recognition.

So I will add more. *Gives LKL some recognition.*

This kind of wilful stupidity (YEC) makes me wonder why it is that intelligent people continue to believe such nonsense. I get an insight into this via the God Delusion and Dawkins quote from Kurt Wise "Try as as I might , and even with the benefit of intact margins throughout the pages of scripture, I found it impossible to pick up the bible without it being rent in two. I had to make a decision between evolution and scripture. Either the scripture was true and evolution was wrong or evolution was true and I must toss out the bible ... It was there that night that I accepted the word of god and rejected all that would ever counter it, including evolution. With that, in great sorrow, I tossed it into the fire all my dreams and hopes in science"

Kurt Wise is now the Director of Creation Research Center at Truett-McConnell College. He, like the OP, has wilfully tossed out scientific knowledge in favour of a belief in ancient superstitious writings, and possible delusional hallucinations.
