Surprised?

So because Darwin misinterpreted a geomorphological process, you want to throw out the last 150 years of biological science?

Darwin was right about it when he said that if a cell was proven to be more than simple protoplasm and nucleus then the theory of evolution would not hold up.

Evolutionists have fallen into the “white swan” thought trap. It’s like trying to prove that there are no black swans by going around counting white swans. Evolutionists ignore the incredibly complicated inner workings of a SINGLE CELL and declare it just a random accident.

The above is just a partial and greatly simplified view of how a cell works.

Now if we could only find his emails.

I don’t know what you are trying to prove here but the field of geology was very primitive 150 years ago and Darwin was not a geologist. Further his geologic interpretations were heavily influenced by his friend and mentor, Charles Lyell, a creationist.

I'm not surprised that Darwin was wrong in some of his statements about geology. I wouldn't be surprised that Louis Agassiz was wrong about some of his statements about geology, too. I wouldn't be surprised if Alfred Wegener was wrong about some of his statements concerning continental drift. I wouldn't be surprised if Auguste and Jacques Piccard were wrong about some of their statements concerning geology. I wouldn't be surprised if Andrija Mohorovičić was wrong in some of his statements about geology. I wouldn't be surprised if Giuseppe Mercalli was wrong in some of his statements concerning geology.

THIS is "defending religious freedom"?? BWAAAAhahahahahaha....

A large field of erratic boulders in Tierra del Fuego that have become known as “Darwin’s Boulders” were deposited by a completely different process than he thought.

This, very clearly, is untrue...false....a bogus claim.

The newly theorized process is "bolders fall in landslide onto passing glacier 200km from the coast, which carries them to the sea where they are deposited as the ice melts on the coast."

Darwin's theory was "boulders scoured from mountains by glaciation....the glacier then calves into the ocean....and the icebergs carry them to the coast where they are deposited as the ice melts on the coast."

Nowhere NEAR a "completely different process." The only significant difference between the 2 is the "rock-slide" versus "glacial scouring"....the rest is very similar just with different routes....ice carrying the rocks to the coast where they melted and deposited the rocks.

OMG....Darwin didn't get everything exactly right 150+ years ago...that means something!!! Yep, it means that he didn't travel 200 freakin miles inland and made a hypothesis based on the information at hand. Burn 'im at the stake!!!

Hint: he was damned close about the process.

Based on cosmogenic nuclide dating methods, the authors estimated the boulder deposits to be in the 22-74 thousand year range

Uh oh....so now you're pushing that the Earth is at least 22,000 years old?

[xcamel]

And you, being pretty much wrong about everything, fit right in.

PS: Darwin was not a geologist.

[Cold Heat]

In as much that I could give a hoot about Darwin as a personal or religious issue, I must say that everyone was wrong about geology in that time period, and continued to be wrong, even when I was taught in High school in the 60s.

The rock hounds are constantly having there theories blown apart and it continues, albeit less frequently today.

I am guessing that you are trying to say that if Darwin was wrong about rocks he was wrong about evolution. Nice try, but the connection is not at all relevant. They, the geologists, were lacking in information about many things that we have a better understanding of today, including plate tectonics and the area affected by glaciers. I am convinced that there will be more changes in scientific understanding to come. Many more....(Like the global warming hoax)

” Science Daily leapt from a Stanford study of isotope ratios in rocks said to be 3.4 billion years old that the earth was cooler a billion years earlier than thought, and therefore life must have evolved earlier than thought. “Their findings suggest that the early ocean was much more temperate and that, as a result, life likely diversified and spread across the globe much sooner in Earth’s history than has been generally theorized.”
