what's that popular term, oy vey?

That was brain-damaging even by my standards. Here's some of the better quotes:

Quote:

I have read a marvelous little book that explains how the enite Universe could have been made, in a mere six days, and still account for many things that evolution doesn't.

For instance, the red shift. How do you explain the fact that it appears as everything in the universe is moving away from us?

Quote:

I do believe that God created the world. And if you took the whole picture then you could see that there are still monkeys that die monkeys. And there that people don't turn into ferns. (Ferns have the highest chromosome structure, and if we were really "evolving" into the highest and most integigent(sp?) creatures on earth then we would eventually become ferns!)

Quote:

Now, I don't know why you want me to 'proove you wrong' when you haven't even established that you're right! But I will do my best to explain 'why we would expect a more 'highly evolved' organism to possess more chromosomes.'

Okay, first of all, if we Evolution then we would expect that the most 'highly evolved' creature would have the most chromosomes. Right? Then it would be logical then to conclude that, if we are truely 'evolving' then some of us would be ferns, since we would get more complex the more we evolve.

Quote:

And fosil dating is a worthless piece of junk that someone came up with. It uses circular reasoning for one. And two it doesn't take millions or even billions of years for them to form. I remember somewhere (I do remember it was very credible though) that someone's grandpa had died and they burried them. 15 years later the grandma died, but when the went to dig the grave, the ground was soaked with water from an underground river/spring. So, they dug the grandma's grave soemwhere else, but when they went back to get teh grandpa he had fosilized!

Quote:

His name is Dr. Kent Hovind. If you have something worth saying, say it. If you don't then please don't post.

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Quote:

If we were really evolving into a higher and more inteligent creature, then why are so many kids failing, dropping out of, getting in trouble in, and getting kicked out of school? Because they are smarter and better than the rest? No, it is actually because we aren't evolving at all!

Quote:

[Replying to 'each of your questions would require a paper to answer] "So, simply recruit rjw, PotatoError, and James Da Dude, and each of you can write a term paper on just 1 of the questions.

Quote:

The way Darwin and Lyell interpreted the [geologic] colunm was through the idea that 'the key is the present to the past.' It has been said before, history is doomed to repeat itself. And yes, it has time and time again. But if the present is the key to the past, then why do we have history books? Why are so many people interested in finding out what went on in past times if we can look at society today and find the answers?

Quote:

The dinos haven't died out as many think.

Quote:

it is possible that the loch ness monster spotted many times was a dinosaur. Or that knights really did fight dragons that were actually dinosaurs.

Quote:

I'm really not sure [how all that fragile coral survived]. But that doesn't knock out the flood just because of coral. I would think that it probably floated along somewhere, or did as it usually does when something knocks out a colony of it and just reproduces and reproduces.

And, finally...

Quote:

Now shouldn't the carp be closest to the turtle, since the turtle is an amphibian? But it isn't, in fact, it is barely similar at all to the turtle.

That forum is a veritable goldmine. But since I already read a few others, can someone take the liberty of collecting the dumber statements, copying and pasting the URL of the post (by clicking the little posticon on top of posts) and emailing or PMing both to me?

You missed my favorite one:

Quote:

For instance, the red shift. How do you explain the fact that it appears as everything in the universe is moving away from us?

Then, after someone responded:

Quote:

No, it doesn't, why does it appear that they are moving away? That would make it seem we are at the center of the Universe. This is even more impropable than that the speed of light was greater. And guess wat, it did NOT need to be greater, depending on how God created the universe, it is possible that due to relativity, time went slower for eath, hus allowing the universe to expand, and continue to expanding, at relativistic speeds.

But this same guy also said:

Quote:

Yes, I do believe I will give a recorded incident when God created something.

*begins reading from Genesis* ok, there we go...

IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH

Recorded, by a VERY credible individual, That individuals name is Moses, He worked for the estabilished country, Israel, while also Helping out countries in need.

Responding to a criticism:

Quote:

Well, so I cant take something someones said, and write it down? it suddenly becomes un credible?

Sweet mother of god, what is he like 7?

They have time dilation backwards.

And we can qite easily tell from redshift that we AREN'T the center of the universe.
