    There is irrefutable evidence from Polonium halos that the rock layers of the Grand Canyon where all formed in a short time, the worldwide flood.

    So did the Greek philosopher Anaximander (ca. 610-546 BC), who lived at about the same time that the book of Job was written. Perhaps Anaximander and the author of Job got their information from the same source (Babylonian astronomers?). In any case, the Earth does not hang on nothing; it is in...

    There is irrefutable evidence from Polonium halos that the rock layers of the Grand Canyon where all formed in a short time, the worldwide flood.

    There is another flaw in Gentry's argument. As "Polonium Haloes" Refuted points out, the interpretation of the 'polonium haloes' as proving that the Earth's rocks were formed instantaneously is inconsistent with the overwhelming geological evidence that the Earth has a very long history of at...

    There is irrefutable evidence from Polonium halos that the rock layers of the Grand Canyon where all formed in a short time, the worldwide flood.

    Can you give a reference? Again, can you give a reference? Where does the Bible say, for example, that it is already two hours before noon in India when the Sun is rising in Rome? Job 26:7 says, 'He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.' It does not...

    Dating fossils and rock formations by scientific methods,

    Is any of this relevant to the scientific methods of dating fossils and rock formations?

    Dating fossils and rock formations by scientific methods,

    It would have been more accurate to say that the Earth is ~4540±20 million years old, the solar system (including the Sun) is ~4570 million years old, and the universe is ~13.8 billion years old.

    Dating fossils and rock formations by scientific methods,

    Life has evolved over a period of about 3.8 billion years, the Earth is ~4.7 billion years old, and the universe is ~13.7 billion years old.

    Evolution of what?

    Yes. Linnaeus (who was a creationist) classified us as primates in 1758, 101 years before the publication of The Origin of Species. Why do you refer to humans as 'they'? Are you not yourself a human?

    Evolution of what?

    You have got it the wrong way round. The physical environment is changing all the time, and living things (not only animals) adapt to the changes in the environment.

    poll: are you an ape?

    So where did chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orang-utans and gibbons come from if God didn't create them?

    All the long age dating techniques have been proven to be false as they vastly vary in measuring the age of the same thing – part 2

    This is an example of begging the question. You have to provide evidence that Satan exists before you can say that he is able to deceive people.

    Questions that evolutionists and billions of years proponents cannot answer but disprove their theories.

    This is actually a sensible question. I can't answer it, not being a biologist, but I think that you ought to follow Dan from Smithville's advice in post 2121. Do a google search for topics such as 'human evolution', 'human fossils', 'hominid fossils', 'australopithecines' and 'primate species...

    Questions that evolutionists and billions of years proponents cannot answer but disprove their theories.

    Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow wrote two books together, The Grand Design (2010), which I have read, and A Briefer History of Time (2005), which I have not. Which of these two are you reading? Also, why are you reading a book by a cosmologist (Hawking) and a theoretical physicist and...

    Questions that evolutionists and billions of years proponents cannot answer but disprove their theories.

    I googled on 'oldest homo sapiens fossils' and found an article in Nature (7 June 2017) by Ewen Callaway, 'Oldest Homo sapiens fossil claim rewrites our species' history' - Oldest Homo sapiens fossil claim rewrites our species' history - Nature . According to this article, 'Remains from Morocco...

    His name is Jason Lisle. As you must know, Charles Lyell (1797-1875) was the author of Principles of Geology and a friend of Charles Darwin.

    Challenge for those that believe in billions of years for the age of things. Give anything that is more than 6000 years old. NO ASSUMPTIONS ALLOWED.

    Nothing can be absolutely trusted, because there is always the possibility that new observations will give different results. However, if, for example, radiometric dating of the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary by different methods and in different continents consistently yields ages of about 65...

    Probably from supernovae. The source of your information is A.L. Strom et al., 2023, Astrophys. J. Lett., 958 (1), L11, ShieldSquare Captcha . The galaxies that Strom et al. observed have redshifts z = 2-3, implying that we see them as they were about 10-11 billion years ago, or 2.5-3.4...

    The retrograde rotations of Venus and Uranus are probably the results of collisions with other planetary embryos. Such collisions were common during the formation of the planets (about 4500±50 million years ago); we owe the existence of the Moon to the Earth's collision with a Mars-sized...

    The circular reasoning of Evolution and billions of years believers.

    Would you like to expand on that and explain in what way evolution 'in the Darwinian sense' is much more than 'merely "change over time"'?

    Life From Dirt?

    How much of what science says about evolution are you willing to accept? 90%, 80%, 50%, 10%, 5%, 1%? What specific parts of the scientific account of evolution do you reject, and for what reasons?
