    Going off on a tangent here, but for those of you tempted to scoff at the idea of evolution being racist, don't forget it's racist roots. Just look at the full title of the most revered scientific holy book by Charles Darwin: "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the...

    What do you mean it doesn't work for humans? The Bible teaches that three breeding pairs of humans came off the ark (assuming Noah didn't have any more kids afterwards). Later on, all of mankind was dispersed at the Tower of Babel. Now, what do we have? Very different looking people all over...

    Thank you for that, Tom. Now I know and won't reference those. I give John Morris credit for acknowledging his misinterpretation of the evidence.

    We're saying the same thing, but talking past each other. There is great variation between "kinds". But that is where it stops, lizards don't become birds. I don't deny that neanderthals existed. They were fully human and very intelligent. All of our "ancestors" that are so often pointed to...

    I'm not quite sure why you are so hung up on the cat breeding thing. I never said anything about breeding programs being the reason we have the cats we do now. Certain dominant traits rising to the surface through isolated populations is what I was referring to, not some program of people...

    It's not your concept of deity that matters. God has revealed Himself to us in His word, the Bible. I'm disappointed in you, Tom. I spent time writing that (because you asked me to), and instead of giving a real response, you turned to mockery. For some reason, I have a feeling you wouldn't...

    You bring a lot of questions, but not many answers. Maybe it is your turn to answer a few. What's your response to the soft tissue being found in dinosaur fossils that I mentioned earlier? What about things like fossilized dinosaur tracks and human footprints found nearby in the same rock...

    My God is not a she and nowhere did He ever refer to Himself that way. I'm curious, why would you use that pronoun other than to bait?

    Like I said, who knows how many representatives for cats were on the ark. Look at the great genetic variety of dogs. Teacup Yorkies, Saint Bernards, and Great Danes are all dogs. They look nothing alike to me, but are all the same species. There is vast potential and variety within the genes...

    We don't know what specific species there were before the flood. The Bible says Noah took two of each "kind". What's a kind? They didn't have modern taxonomy back then. Does "kind" correlate to "order" or "family" or "genus"? We don't know.

    I have not had a chance to read your flood article yet, Tom, but I will read it in it's entirety soon. In regards to one of your other questions comparing the Biblical flood with the epic of Gilgamesh, I think the true explanation is pretty obvious. The Biblical flood was real. It was huge...

    I believe that is true and see no problem with it. Just because we don't observe people living close to a thousand years today doesn't mean people couldn't have lived longer in the past. God says they did, but you seem to leave God out of the Bible. Adam and Eve were created with perfect...

    I beg to differ, TreeCo. The same could be said of the THEORY of evolution. Right off the top of my head, it breaks the First and Second LAWS of Thermodynamics and it also breaks the LAW of Biogenesis. Very scientific... It macroevolution is not observable or replicable.

    I'm just saying it's totally different from the article you posted on penguins. Totally different audience. Which is better, something that is clothed in so much gobbledygook that hardly anyone understands it, so everyone assumes the people are brilliant and take their word for it (even though...

    I don't usually get on my phone at work, but I got rained out a little bit today. I believe the book I offered to send has references. Dr. John Morris wrote it. Pretty sure he is a PhD in geology. His father, Dr. Henry Morris started the Institute for Creation Research and is often lauded as...

    Yes, but did the layers of leaves that you saw each year turn into fossils or did they quickly turn mushy and gunky? I grew up by a three acre pond and organic debris seemed to congregate towards one shallow end. I remember trudging through it sometimes and stirring it up. Pretty nasty stinky...

    I'm impressed (and thankful) Tom is here and that he has read as much as he has. He has referred to extra resources mentioned and immediately investigated the Answers in Genesis website. We are operating from different worldviews. What I take for granted or may think is obvious, Tom views...

    Basically, the Flood is the answer to most of the questions and interpreting the geologic record.

    I'm not familiar with Gondwana right off hand. I believe Pangaea is usually attributed to the global flood. The old world was completely destroyed. "The floodgates of heaven were opened and the fountains of the deep burst forth." This would probably include tectonic shifting, earthquakes, and...

    I finally had a minute to take a look at this. You are right, the technical jargon was way above my head and I'm sure the author's IQ is about 50 points higher than mine. I think this paragraph from the introduction sums up the standard evolutionary position pretty well: "George Gaylord...
