Of course, those of us that are watching the "smart ones" closely can clearly see that this does not hide their obvious lack of knowledge in scientific matters - such as the proper use of the scientific method to prove something grounded in revealed faith, having no basis in empirical evidence, rational thought, or logic. Remember this, all you "smart ones" - we are keeping an eye on your attempts to pervert science and bend it to your will!

My apologies HelpMe - I took my quote from your post prior to your editing of it - the change from "smart ones" to "clever ones" had not been made yet.

HelpMe -
I went to the first link you posted and did a quick perusal of the evidence that is cited for support of creationism: Quote from CEMOnline: Abstract: Evolutionary theory requires millions of years in the formation of coal in order to afford time for the development of living organisms whose fossils are found in coal deposits. However, laboratory and field research has demonstrated that coal is formed rapidly and in vast quantities. These vast coal deposits are unsullied by other material. The conclusion is drawn that actual research indicates a young age to the Earth that contains such coalified materials. Introduction "If coal takes millions and millions of years of heat and pressure to form, how is it possible that creationists are teaching that the earth is only a few thousand years old?" This is a commonly asked question among individuals seeking answers about the age of the earth and the universe. Research has been done by several creation organizations, as well as independent scientists, in order to answer such questions. The evidence actually shows that coal does not take millions of years to form, as is commonly asserted. In fact, the formation of coal has been proven to be a rapid process that can be duplicated in modern laboratories in a matter of days - or even hours. End Quote So, it is obvious that making a few claims that coal is formed "rapidly and in vast quantities" is now part of the scientific method, and makes the statement true? This is great news for the world!! Silly old us, always looking for alternative energy sources. Why, we'll just wait a few hours (let's be generous and make it a few days), and soon - Voila! a new coal field will be discovered!! I'm sure this works with natural gas deposits as well as crude oil! This is super news for all mankind!Sadly, this is one of the more well grounded arguments I could find on the site. Is there no bottom to the depth of misunderstanding of science and how it works? The people that promulgate this garbage and call it science are nothing more than snake oil salesmen with a wagonload of bottled ignorance. The worst part is, that the "frontier" is full of willing buyers with no ability to think critically or rationally. Woof. TVOR

It is NOT the "making of coal" as was posited by the item I quoted from the CEM site. Thanks, TVOR
