the earth isnt old enough for evolution to have happened, and the theory of biogenesis destroys the atheist view of how life was formed. IF the earth was millions of years old, any human with a brain could figure out that was sun would have been in contact with the earth. plus If we had mutated from some slime or whatever, it would be impossible for the human body to be born with 10 fingers most of the time. And theres more...

Um, yeah... maybe the earth would have been in contact with the sun if inches were miles, and assuming the sun's decrease in size has been steady since the dawn of time. Neither of these things can reasonably be assumed. Not that that EVEN HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH EVOLUTION ANYWAY.
And we didn't mutate from slime. We evolved from single-celled organisms.
"And theres more..."
Oh, spare me.
"the earth isnt old enough for evolution to have happened, and the theory of biogenesis destroys the atheist view of how life was formed."
Uh, why?
"IF the earth was millions of years old, any human with a brain could figure out that was sun would have been in contact with the earth."
Well, they used to be in contact with one another but they're no longer on speaking terms.
Just what the hell are you babbling about? This isn't that "shrinking sun" ignorance, is it? Stop fucking reading Hovind!
"plus If we had mutated from some slime or whatever, it would be impossible for the human body to be born with 10 fingers most of the time."
Why , pray tell?
"And theres more..."
Holy fuck. I hope not.
4.2~4.5 gigayears is a lot of time. Yes, the earth is old enough.
We have the fossils, we win.
The earth IS old enough for evolution to have formed, and abiogenesis is an exception to biogenesis. I have no idea why the sun should have been in contact with the earth if it was millions of years old, or why it is impossible for human to have ten fingers if it evolved from slime over billions of years. Please...elaborate on your idiocy...
IF the earth was millions of years old, any human with a brain could figure out that was sun would have been in contact with the earth.
Gee, why haven't tens of thousands of scientists noticed this amazing "fact" over the course of the last 150 years?
@Trilobiter & John
Well, there was a thesis around the 70s of the 20s century, where some astronomers noticed a shrinking of the son over the course of decades (and calculated the rate of shrinking).
I assume ameba7g refers to this.
Sadly for ameba7g and other fundamentalists this theory has been quickly refuted as scientists found out that the sun undergoes a oscillatory behavior, with alternating cycles of expanding and shrinking. So any human with a brain can figure that there is no reason nymore to believe that the sun was much bigger in the past than it is nowadays
The earth is 4.5 billion years old.
There is no "Law of Biogenesis". That's just made up by Creationists.
That doesn't even make any sense. The earth has been moving roughly along its current orbit for the last couple billion years.
You don't understand what DNA is and how it works, do you?
Oh-kay, I'll make a deal. If your facts are right, I'll join a church. If they're wrong, you admit that you don't understand the theory you've been criticising, and undertake to learn what it actually says.
Lets run and find out!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
