Meteor shards linked to massive extinction

Yeah? So what? We know craters exist. But the myth that meteors cause craters on earth (or elsewhere) is unproven.

put me on your list thanks

I'm sure you'll agree that it was very scientific & educational:

Oh, yeah.   The social agenda of creationists is revealed  at last.

2nd Place: "Women Were Designed For Homemaking"

Jonathan Goode (grade 7) applied findings from many fields of science to support his conclusion that God designed women for homemaking: physics shows that women have a lower center of gravity than men, making them more suited to carrying groceries and laundry baskets; biology shows that women were designed to carry un-born babies in their wombs and to feed born babies milk, making them the natural choice for child rearing; social sciences show that the wages for women workers are lower than for normal workers, meaning that they are unable to work as well and thus earn equal pay; and exegetics shows that God created Eve as a companion for Adam, not as a co-worker.

I borrowed as a template the highly respected (and much quoted) arguments that are constantly presented against evolution, which can be found at the website of the Institute for Creation Research.

Highly respected and much quoted by whom? Not respected scientist I assure you.

If I get some time for fun, I’ll go through that list point by point, and then reveal the truth about Santa.

It's not fair to use 10,000 words in one post!

Spare yourself the effort. My mind is set in concrete.

250 millions years ago! How stupid can you get. Life on this earth is no where near 250 million years! It is once again, the evolutionist theory! No science just theory!

To date, most geologists have argued that meteors are not powerful enough to crack the earth's crust.

Obviously, it depends on the size and composition of the meteor, speed and angle of entry, where it hits, etc. The Mars-sized "meteor" that created the moon probably made quite a mess. And I'm guessing that a large iron meteor striking Hawaii, Yellowstone or a plate boundary would be almost sure to release lava.

I'm not really sure who's serious on this thread.

You said it, not I.

That reminds me of what every good science professor drills into his students, "To objectively apply of the scientific method and arrive at a valid conclusion, one must first set his mind in concrete!"

[Barnacle]

Chris, You've got to take these things one step at a time!

[Macklew]

What's a "ping"? Agree or not to agree, that is the question!

Actually, the Creator created the very first electronics system. First he created man, the he created a LOUD speaker.

Perhaps not, but it seems possible that a big one could send a shockwave through the earth and set off volcanoes in weak parts of the crust.

"Yeah? So what? We know craters exist. But the myth that meteors cause craters on earth (or elsewhere) is unproven."

ROFL !!!

What is this, 1610? Ok, ok, but seriously, if craters don't come from meteors, then where do you suppose the craters on the Earth and the Moon and Mars and Venus and Mercury come from?

Hehe... Keep your eye on this thread. ;)
