Ok fuck it. Since Dave's not answering Egypt questions at the moment and this page is already trashed I might as well join the party.

Oi Davey boy, tell me something. Since you're the bloke who can't see how vulcanism is relevant to C14 calibration why would anyone be concerned that you can't see how birds could evolve from therapods? Just a thought, me ol' bucket of dog snot.

Strewth, it's a new page. Can we go back to Egypt and stuff then? How about it, Dave?

Oh no you won't, dave.

Sorry, my honest Christian friend, but we won't let you weasel your way out of this one.

Dave, your claim wasn't "evolutionists don't know how feathers evolved".

Your claim, the one you are supposed to support, is that There are NO TRANSITIONAL FOSSILS.


Can you explain why Archaeopteryx posesses all these characteristics of a transitional fossil?

Now THAT will be good.

Ok, bugger this for a joke. I'm starting a thread over in E/C for this party.

Here's the link to the relevant article again: http://www.agiweb.org/geotimes/apr05...ileFloods.html

Now Davey boy, me ol' George of the jungle, wotcha reckon about that then?
Do you find it interesting that an independent dating test performed after the establishment of the standard chronology for dynastic Egypt ends up backing up that chronology? Note that the article not only mentions that Egyptian society was collapsing in 2170 BC, but that the Nile was behaving itself and Egyptian society was prosperous around 3300 BC when the standard chronology says the pyramids were built. Don't you think this sorta buggers Smyth's theory?
I sure do.

Anyway, back to geology. Now, if your wafflings about catastrophes are accurate and you are the next Bretz (so there) don't you think that the area around Aswan should look like the scablands? You know, same evidence remaining? Well?

Satan is an Archaeopteryx?

Let us beware the gnashing of his toothy beak and the lashing of his feathered tail!

Oh well, if ya can't beat 'em join 'em.

I'LL SEE YOUR ARCHAEOPTERYX AND RAISE YOU AN APATOSAURUS!

HAPPY NOW?


Oi Davey, are you going to address Nile sediments in this thread like you promised or are you gonna do the boc-boc dgurk disappearing act, mate?

Just wondering and all. Btw, in case you don't realise (and I'm betting you haven't thought it through yet) going with ol' Walt's theory actually plays into my hands here. Betcha can't guess why?

An interesting story related to Dave's inane flood contentions:
Quote:
Erosion on the floor of the English Channel is revealing the remains of a busy Stone Age settlement, from a time when Europe and Britain were still linked by land, a team of archaeologists says.

The site, just off the Isle of Wight, dates back 8,000 years, not long before melting glaciers filled in the Channel and likely drove the settlement's last occupants north to higher ground.
According to Dave, this village must be pre-flood in origin. But Dave has also stated that no pre-flood artifacts exist. Perhaps he could clear up the discrepancy?
