    With that out of the way, yes. Using the science of geology, it is clear that zero dinosaur fossils appear in the Earth's crust above the layer of strata which marks approximately 65 million years before the present.

    No there isn't. Ken Ham is school teacher with a bachelor's degree in applied science who was excommunicated from his church for accusing another member of witchcraft. Hardly a voice of reason or an authority on radio-carbon dating.
    Anything he wrote, wrong?
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Ok, you're right. Let's try this again: Mike Riddle. A motivational speaker/preacher with a degree in education. Is NOT an authority on radio carbon dating. IS a Christian fundamentalist who believes humans put saddles on Triceratops in the garden of eden.

    Do you know there's more evidence pointing to a young earth than an old one?

    I believe they even mention AiG on their website somewhere.

    This is one of those debates I try not to get involved in. I have never seen a debate on this topic change the mind of either party involved and who am I to question your Faith?

    Second, the person we know as "Noah," "Gilgamesh," "Xisuthrus," "Yima," etc., probably is based on a real person who rode-out a flood with a few animals at some point in history.
    well, that's certainly what Genesis says....so we're on the same track....

    by the way, I have often heard the argument that Gilgamesh predates the Genesis account of Noah and that therefore the Hebrews borrowed the tale.....however, early copies of the Gilgamesh saga have been discovered which do not contain the details that the story shares with Genesis.....details which suddenly appear in copies generated AFTER the Babylonian captivity of Israel....

    interestingly then, it appears that the Gilgamesh story, at least the parts which parallel Genesis, is actually a copy of the Noah story.......

    First, dinosaurs pre-date homo sapiens by approximately 65 MILLION years. The notion that humans and dinosaurs ever co-habited this planet is preposterous.

    1. Just like you got no candidate, to vote for President, your opinion means nothing in this thread.
    2. Nice try.
