Then there really is/was Global Warming.
: )
The planet as a whole was caused to contract, a simple heart beat, if you will.
Thus, the water levels being constant, one can imagine how a contraction of the actual land mass would cause the entire orb to be covered in water, then when the land mass expands once more, voila, there are fish and horse skeletons everywhere.
neat, concise, covers all the facts...elegant.
Or both.
Maybe, but that doesn't fit the narrative that's being submitted as the explanation.
It could happen.
It could. How many other possible theories are there that can be submitted on no more evidence than "It could happen.", and how fast will it produce absolute gridlock if all of them have to be considered equally?
Your whole reply is good.
Scientific method is only as good as the honesty of the researcher.
The historical value of the Bible has been proven reliable over and over, not even the most ravenous evol’st will not dispute that.
(the honest ones)
. Oh crap!
here I thought we were just funnin'.
Didn't realize were ere being graded, and there would be an exam at the end.
It is difficult to be serious sometimes, as the actual narrative is somewhat..shall we say....entertaining?
Here’s the deal about theories. A)They have to explain all the available evidence, B)They have to be falsifiable (what evidence may be available that would disprove the theory?), and C)They have to provide a mechanism. Now, convince me...
Oh - and you’ve got to tell me where all that water went...
OOps ,you are wrong in your assumptions:
“...Evolution is a fact..”
last I checked it is only a theory (as you mean it)
Sorry, scientific “facts” and the Bible are not incompatible.
I am a Creationist, you a “(theistic) evolutionist”
I have no problem with that.
we will disagree on evolution being a fact.
we have opposing views.
I have no problem with that.
I haven’t read Steve Donovan’s books. This author suggests that Donovan’s view is that fossils are created over long periods of time. However, it’s totally reasonable that a horse in muck at the bottom of a lake would disintegrate by scavenging & microbes.
If you’ve got a crazy mix of animals & plants very well preserved together it’s also reasonable to consider that they died and were preserved by a rapid accumulation of sediment during a major disaster. You’ve got to agree that this is possible.
Then you call Thomas “arrogant” for daring to question Donovan and then say he’s “simply out of his intellectual and academic league”. Just because there’s LOTS of documentation out there to support your view doesn’t mean it’s correct. It seems to me that the wrong person has been called arrogant.
Again, rather than sending me off to someone’s “countless other publications”, what is YOUR guess as to how these fossils were made?
EVOLUTION IS FACT!
(Digging furiously for a book, any book, oh where is that article, the absolute truth that I read and printed out)..I will get back to you.
Besides, I don't need to prove it, I have absolute faith that it did indeed happen.
I was told so, and I read it somewhere.
CREATIONISM IS FACT!
THE STATIC EARTH IS FACT!
THE PULSATING EARTH IS FACT!
GOD PUT FOSSILS THERE TO CONFUSE EVERYONE!
“Hey, you! Mister clippy-clop! You’re voted off the island! Buh-bye!”
“..Fossilization is a process that takes place only under certain conditions. Time is of no importance....”
no argument there, Mt St Helens is modern example. (trees in lake)
Now, when the land mass was re-expanded, then the waters simply receded to lower levels, as we find them today.
This is getting to be fun.
