Maybe because they havnt been throughly debunked and refuted? Such statements just keep getting thrown around and everyone eventually believes them.Fatmop said:Yeah, I do. If you have actually read them, and understood them, then I'm even more impressed; how could your mind possibly remain closed to the fact that your 'scientists' have been throughly debunked and refuted?
Of course i expect you think the same of AIG, well you see i think evolutionists see what they want just as much as any creationist. They are just as bound by there worldview, long age, uniformitarian assumptions etc.Fatmop said:As for my "beloved" Talk Origins, don't you think we all sit back and mutter just the same things to ourselves about your AIG? Ask yourself which is more credible: science, working from evidence to conclusion, or religion, working from conclusion to evidence?
True but both evolutionists and creationists would agree the the tops of the mountains we now have where once under water.MdmSzdWhtGuy said:Uh, OK, but there remains the little problem that the world is in fact far from flat. But let us not have that little problem affect us.
Difference is how they rose.
As i posted befor following from - http://www.icr.org/index.php?module...ion=view&ID=520
Mt. Everest and the Himalayan range, along with the Alps, the Rockies, the Appalachians, the Andes, and most of the world's other mountains are composed of ocean-bottom sediments, full of marine fossils laid down by the Flood. Mt. Everest itself has clam fossils at its summit. These rock layers cover an extensive area, including much of Asia. They give every indication of resulting from cataclysmic water processes. These are the kinds of deposits we would expect to result from the worldwide, world-destroying Flood of Noah's day.
At the end of the Flood, after thick sequences of sediments had accumulated, the Indian subcontinent evidently collided with Asia, crumpling the sediments into mountains. Today they stand as giantsfolded and fractured layers of ocean-bottom sediments at high elevations. No, Noah's Flood didn't cover the Himalayas, it formed them!
Austin, Steven A., Ph.D.MdmSzdWhtGuy said:And please point me to one single geologist with an actual PhD. from a real university who maintains that there is evidence for a flood which has covered all the landmass on earth.
