    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    No, even if it happened. such flooding cannot affect rates of radioactive decay. The only known type of decay that can be altered is electron capture, one type of Beta decay. That is because capture is slightly influenced by the energy states of electrons and the effects of pressure in forcing...

    God Recreated the Earth 6,000 Years Ago!

    Show me anywhere that this assumption is made. You are being dishonest in claiming that any such assumption exists. The assumption that is made is that such things don't happen without leaving some form of evidence. There was no global flood in the period that humans have been around because...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    The known physics (which you misrepresent as an "assumption") says that argon will escape from rocks that were molten during the eruption. Inclusions that were not molten at that time will contain Argon that started accumulating when they were last molten, which is before the eruption. If you...

    Evolutionists, where, geographically, did man evolve?

    Homo sapiens evolved in Africa. They spread across the world from a migration that started about 60,000 years ago. There were almost certainly earlier migrations (as modern H. sapiens have been around for much longer than that) but they were ultimately unsuccessful, which may be linked to the...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    Oh dear. Not this stupidity again. "bends his tail like a cedar" means it bends in the same manner as a cedar bends, it does not mean that it was the size of a full grown cedar. And considering that Behemoth can be shaded by a few trees and surrounded by some willows there is no way that it...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    Half-lives of isotopes are not a theory. They are a fact. The decay rate of radioactive isotopes is something that you can measure. That date was obtained by doing whole rock dating of samples. Because lava contains inclusions of rocks that did not melt during the eruption but were carried...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    Trial by a Jury of your peers (i.e. the modern system) formally in the UK dates back to the very start of the 18th Century, so it was in place for at least a couple of generations before the American system was created. The roots of the change to a trial by jury were enacted in 1641 in Britain...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    No, that is accurately describing the situation. It refutes your silly "index fossil" argument. We are contradicting the falsehoods that you are copying from some creationist website.

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    Not contradicting anything to do with geology. And that flood is laying down its deposits in relation to the strata present at the time of the flood and later layers will be laid down in relation to that flood layer.

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    You certainly don't. You don't "measure half-lives", which is what you claimed. You measure the ages of rocks by measuring the relative quantities of specific radioactive isotopes in the materials. Half-lives are used to calculate the age based on the measurements of those isotope ratios...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    Nope, just that there is a lot of evidence out there if people can be bothered to look for it with an open mind.

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    That is not circular in any way. Igneous rocks can be dated, that gives the age of those rocks. That's it. Sedimentary rocks, where fossils can be found, can be given date ranges by dating igneous rock layers around them. The level of projection is strong here. No, Sedimentary strata cannot...

    Historically so were Christians and Muslims as well.

    the religious Racial discrimination in Islam Teaching

    That is a simplified view. In Europe and the US there are a mix of progressive and regressive taxes. In the US especially there are exemptions and other processes whereby non salary income attracts much lower tax rates than would be paid if the income was salary (and payinmg a good tax...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    Thousands? If you are talking just the number of fossils its billions, if its identified species its hundreds of thousands by now (it was about a quarter million 20 years ago). That is a huge number and Scientists haven't even examined more than a tiny fraction of the rock deposits that can...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    1. True. 2. Lies. The strata are dated using techniques based on the laws of physics. Techniques that provide coherent and reliable results time after time. 3. Lies. Index fossils are simply species whose period of existence has been established using radiometric dating. That means that the...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    Strange, my family can be traced back over 500 years and in a patchy way up to 1000 years ago when the family name first arrived in the UK. Maybe the difference is that some people (i.e. my father and his cousins) are willing to make a serious effort while others just like to meander along...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    You use the term "clocking", any confusion stems from your misuse of the terminology. You are completely wrong. You don't understand anything about radio-metric dating, for example: This is complete nonsense. No one measures the half-lives to date a rock sample. Half-lives are established...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    Completely wrong. In fact every single sentence there is wrong. 1. Argon is not a "final or stable element of potassium". It is an element in its own right. 2. Argon is a gas, it escapes from molten rock but does not escape when the rock solidifies, which does not take 10 years. 3. Potassium...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    For the "more developed" regions its currently 80. That table shows 71 for someone who made it to 21, which is past their teens not into them. I really don't think that a comparison between a tiny minority of the total population, once they reached 21, and a current global figure is very...
