There is a small amount of information on tumors, not ‘tons’ and no indication that they were “cancer,” so save us the Barbara Streisand.

Well maybe not 'tons', but tumors are by definition cancer. And before you say no that's not true, the only difference between benign and malignant is the rate of growth.

If the point you were trying to make is that cancer is a relatively recent major factor in mortality rates I will agree (primarily because antibiotics and immunizations have been so effective at stopping disease).

No, tumors are not in most cases (999 of 1000) cancer.

Most people’s bodies have numerous tumors and cysts that are totally benign.

Like I said, the only difference between benign and malignant is the growth rate. If you are going to die of old age before a cancer becomes a problem it is benign. If you double or triple estimated life expectancies, a lot of 'benign' tumors suddenly become malignant : )

I know that you know this stuff and you may even be technically correct depending on the definitions. I would call it accurate, but not true. How is that for a compromise?

In reality, its the capability to transfer growth factors to non-tumor cells ajacent to the tumor that is the difference. That is most of the reason for the irregular shape of malignant tumors.

That is your way of saying that you have no proof and are hopping that no one actually checks.

You ignore the actual cancers cells find in some Egyptian mummies.

How do you explain something existing before you claim it could?

I accept “is post?” questions from darwininsts. They confirm my own theory. “Young earth” is just as absurd as the unproven supernatural creative power of natural selection,and the individual should seriously consider his or her own standing in life, if origins should bother one.

The Darwinist cannot explain the changing of one reproductive system into another, his fossil evidence of the theory isn’t there, and he relies upon minor variations among fruit flies and peppered moths and Heike crabs and finch beaks and thousands of African skull fragments he glues together to present as a “Hominid,” as the editors of National Geographic pull puds at their desks in rapt admiration.

I am not a young earth creationist, but reject Darwinism as 19th century pop-culture balderdash, poppycock, junk science, and one of three venues that have focused the attention of the modern world to flailing punks on MTV and an Orwellian fraud like Barack Obama.

In an expanding universe, celestial objects are continually moving further apart from one another as they move apart from their common origin. If all objects in the universe were falling down a giant black hole, by necessity, all objects in the universe would be moving closer together as they neared their common destination.

In an expanding universe,

That theory is beginning to have a problem as it is based on Hubble's observation of Red Shift and his conclusion and explanation of what was causing it!

One of his students has been doing some work:

That’s pretty much exactly what a black hole is. Except that the mass is just mass, it ceases to be matter but retains it’s mass.

God really did make man in his image.

For us, it’s a grill with fire.

For Him, something on a scale he enjoys.
