I have often times given you references, documentations and other known
resources that strongly support creation as a theory. It was only 100 years
ago that evolution began to become mainstream, so that means the millions of
years before, man was wrong? No. God revealed the truth to them. I will send
you more figures later. I would suggest getting a hold of one of the books I
have mentioned, or the one of the centers for creation research. Such as
Institute for Creation Research, Creation Resource Foundation, Or the
Missouri Creation Center. I would suggest getting the book Evolution
Disproved by Dr. William A Williams, or Mysteries of Creation Vol. 1 by
Dennis Petersen. Though I doubt you will go and get any of them, because you
are afraid that your foundation may be shattered. I have objectively looked
into two opposing books already, and have visited many WWW sites. I think
all to often that students have been fed this dogma, and have never been
given any information on apposing theories. Therfore, the Bible is the
proposer of the theory and creationists are the evidence providers, although
their main goal is to defeat the paper thin defence of evolution and other
humanistic theories.

So now you defy and contradict the sciences of mathematics and logical
probability. Why did you not answer my questions that where not based on
"linear equation"? Explain 200,000 prehistoric horses, and only four apelike
humans...

Creation is quite a valid theory, you just haven't taken the time to study
it. I have been fed evolution all through out school, I have also done some
personal study into the subject. So don't go up against "religion". The
reason why you don't defend evolution is because you have absolutely nothing
to defend it with.
Go to the Creation Science WWW site
(http://emporium.turnpike.net/C/cs/index.htm) or CRS Net.

There is ample documentation there to appease you. No religion necissary.

Entropy alone provides an incredible argument against evolution, and
evolution cannot stand without many devised excuses. I have provided
sufficient documentation to show that evolution is based on peoples
imaginations. If evolution was science then it would have been tossed long
ago, because there is much evidence against it, especially by other proven
sciences, such as mathematics, and probability.

Provide evidence to the contrary. I will do more research if you'd like. If
you would like to find out more about where I stand, read Ken Ham's book,
unfortunately the name of it eludes me right now, but I believe it is called
Answers in Genisis.

They wren't children, they were teen-agers, and quite accountable for their
actions. Isn't it great how God takes care of his chosen...? Besides, I
thought you said you weren't up against religion!?!
Hitler was an atheist and an evolutionist, and he executed millions of Jews.
Explain his actions. So now it is a cruel God against a Cruel humanity. I
prefer God, because humainty has saved no one.

Have you not learned that we a have strands of apparently unused DNA?
Evolutionary speciation requires that eventually a recessive gene
disappears, never has this been found to be true, and in all cases the
recessive gene eventually reapears. If in any case a new species is
developed such as the Horse + Donkey making the Mule, every single time the
creature is incapable of reproducing any offspring of it's own.

Was it really? I'll bet that none or few of the dates agreed. Did you read
the article I sent you about different forms of dating and how unreliable
they are. Do you have a clock fossil that is stuck on millions of years BC?
No. Sedimentry depth is an awful form of dating, as the pond in my back yard
filled up with sand and mud two feet in two years. That would mean that
anything burried there is two years old right? Wrong, to even further
support my cause, I lost a GI Joe figurine and three months later I dug it
out to find it was at the bootm of the pond? Go figure. Flood. Okay, so set
that aside, dry land: My dog used to drag out the trash and it would go all
over my back yard, and in a mater of a week, the few remaining scraps would
be burried an inch or two into the sand and dirt. Go figure? Now tell me
where Macro Evolution is occuring today. Did you read my math figures?

Nope, not empiricle science. In order for it to be an acceptable theory it
must pass every test. It does not pass the tests of mathematics or
probability.

Wrong. Christianity is 2000 years old, the bible began over 4000 years ago.
My faith is hardly without evidence, no one can explain the miracles that
have taken place in my life. Therefore my experience is my evidence, believe
it or not.

Actually not low, I have given you some pointers into where to start your
research, for yourself. I didn't know and still don't know of to many major
sources for evolution, but through diligent research I have stumbled on
quite a few.
>>Where? Or is it a few geologists that contradict biology. Besides, there
are

>Were the geology book says the earth is over 4 billion years old

Aproxamately 3,999,994,000. Geology does not say that, it merely states the
possibility on unempiracle evidence. It is geologists that say it is 4
billion years old.
>>>Virtually all astronomers believe the universe is around 10 billion years
>>>old.
>>A majority might but not all! Hmmm... Stop trying to use exagerations
>>please.
>I'm not exaggerating when I say virtually all astronomers believe
>the universe is around 10 billion years old.
Then the defeat the laws of probability and mathematics. Quite a few
cosmologists believe the universe to be 300 billion years old, which puts
evolution even closer to the laws of probability, yet still defies them. I
have read articles by astronomers that say the universe is 2 billion years
old, and even 12 billion years, but they also came to the conclusion that
there evidence is highly unsupported and should not be taken as absolute. I
have also read in a evolutionary text, that the universe could be a little
more than six thousand years old... Hmmm...?
>>>The bible contradicts this belief.
>>Good! But it does not go against astronomy!
>So you say...
I have given you references. So I'm not the only one.
>>>Virtually all physicists believe miracles are impossible.
>>Your physicists maybe, but there are a lot of things that they cannot
>>explain...
>There are lots of things they can't explain but you were asking how
>the bible contradicts science.
So the Word of God has the answers that you lack. No contradiction. The only
disagreement is between the Bible and the OPINIONS of certain scientists,
not science.
>>>If god can defy physics, than the bible contradicts physics.
>>God designed the laws of physics. Oh wait no, I take that back, they just

>Science currently doesn't know where the laws of physics came from.

Therefore you have no foundation to stand on when it comes to explaining the
impossible. "Through God all things are made possible." Even if it doesn't
suit your logic.

I am surprised an intelligent independantly stuying evolutionist like you
doesn't know about the dinosaur (one of the water ones, I forget the name
all the time) they dredged up, especially since they made a stamp
comemorating it. Look it up. I have given you a reference that will give you
more references to start with, Mysteries of Creation...

I have provided documentation and evidence saying otherwise... Therefore

I have faith according to the evidence that Christ is real in my life, and
then the evidence that science has given. Do you really understand empiricle
science or do undersatand psuedo science? Evolution as a crumbling
hypothesis, or evolution as the only right answer, of which you have never
personally experienced!?!

>The fact that the sun is dying is irrelevant to the question.
On the contrary, the law of thermodynamics says that everything is lossing
order and energy, and that the universe will eventually come to a halt. So
if everything is breaking DOWN, how can anything naturalisticly go UP? What
reversed the chain of events tat caused something to come out of absolutely
nill (Big Bang)! Arise, and then suddenly reverse to the point where it will
all go to disarray? Where is evolution happening today? I know that you will
never come up with a good answer that has not been easily addressed before.
If evolution where reality, it should be very very very very very very
evident today.
