Yeah, Betta-get-an-education there at CreationTalk is seriously lacking in intellect. I'd say he has the IQ of a box of doughnuts, but there is too many zeros in that...

Respectfully,

Cool

Just think tgamble, ruby-soho-the three of us share a very recent common ancestor with Betta. That just goes to show that Darwin was WRONG about organisms that are fit to live being the ones that survive .


Maybe we could even get Evolskeptic to come here and debate Rufus and show us how wrong we hellbound Darwinian naturalists are.

Well, Chris, we all know Charlie (aka 'Evolskeptic') is unable to properly debate anyone. He's so caught up in an irreducible contradiction, he can't find his way out. "Is not! Is not!" is a valid argument from his standpoint. I would have truly enjoyed Rufus taking Charlie to the cleaners. Oh well...

This really is pathetic. Why aren't these people out there arging with their Christian brothers and sisters who have no problem with an ancient earth? Obviously their sticking point is that if the Bible isn't literal truth from page one, that somehow affects everything to do with Jesus. It'd be nice to see the YECs and OECs or theistic evolutionists argue this one, but you hardly ever do (and most of the time the discussions degenerate into the YEC loudly proclaiming that the other guy isn't a Christian anyway).

A tree does not know how long a year is?

I guess that is must be are evilutionist imaginations that trees have yearly biological cycles: leaves, flowers, etc.

*wonders if they've noticed that winter, is in fact, relatively cold, and summer is in fact, relatively hot, and these extremes do in fact, happen once a year, and that they failed every class in school because in fact, they're complete and utter morons*

Yes, I'd really like a formal debate with Evolskeptic. Too bad he turned tail and ran when I challenged him. Maybe a few of you can publically remind him that it still stands.

Cool ahhhhhh, hovind
