Quote# 45692
Most people that believe in evolution don't even know the facts.
People are taught that humans evolving from monkeys is a fact and they believe it blindly. Evolution is a THEORY for a reason. While evolution happens on a very small scale (adaptation), humans did not come from monkeys.
Prove that the world is more than 10,000 years old.....You can't.
but I can prove it is not:
If mankind has been on earth over a million years, as the evolutionists tell us, then why do the records of their activity only go back a few thousand years. The evidence agrees with the Bible account, not with the evolutionists. Evolutionary theory is a myth. God created everything; the evidence clearly points to it. Nothing else can explain the mountain of evidence
Man, whom the evolutionists claim to have come into existence over a million years ago, is said to have "stopped evolving" 100,000 years ago. Why then do we not have at least 100,000 years of civilizations, cities, and human remains?
Where are all those half man/half ape fossils which should be abundant in the earth's soil layers? They don't exist. This is what is known as the "missing link" by evolutionists.
Although evolutionists state that life resulted from non-life, matter resulted from nothing, and humans resulted from animals, each of these is an impossibility of science and the natural world.
The supposed hominids (creatures in-between ape and human that evolutionists believe used to exist) bones and skull record used by evolutionists often consists of `finds' which are thoroughly unrevealing and inconsistent. They are neither clear nor conclusive even though evolutionists present them as if they were. Nine of the twelve popularly supposed hominids are actually extinct apes/ monkeys and not part human at all. The final three supposed hominids put forth by evolutionists are actually modern human beings and not part monkey/ ape at all. Therefore, all twelve of the supposed hominids can be explained as being either fully monkey/ ape or fully modern human but not as something in between.
The God of heaven created our world about 6,000 years ago. Then, about 2348 B.C., a gigantic Flood covered the earth. Keeping in mind that we are dealing with very ancient events, all the evidence can be reconciled with these figures.
Many believe in evolution for the simple reason that they think science has proven it to be a `fact' and, therefore, it must be accepted... In recent years, a great many people...having finally been persuaded to make a real examination of the problem of evolution, have become convinced of its fallacy and are now convinced anti-evolutionists."
-- Henry Morris, former evolutionist.
How can evolutionists believe in evolution when science seems to go against so much of it?

"why do the records of their activity only go back a few thousand years"
Because we hadn't figured out how to write yet.
"Man, ..., is said to have "stopped evolving" 100,000 years ago."
Well they were lying. All animals are always evolving, though once they find an ecological niche, they may appear to slow down, like crocodiles. "Stop" is not the right term at all.

"Most people that believe in evolution don't know the facts."
Turn off your irony meters NOW!
"Evolution is a THEORY for a reason."
Yes and it's not the reason you think it is. Theories are based on evidence and evidence alone, remember gravity "is just a theory" too.
"If mankind had been on earth for over a million years, as evolutionists tell us....."
Lie! No scientist claims homo sapiens have been around for a million or more years.
"....then why do the records of their activity only go back a few thousand years."
Writing goes back a few thousand years, records and evidence of human activity go back much further.
"Where are all those half man/half ape fossils...."
On Google.
"Then, about 2348 B.C. a gigantic Flood covered the earth."
And oddly enough the Chinese, Sumerians, Egyptians, et al. not only didn't notice they weren't killed.
Great a Henry Morris sock puppet.

"Most people that believe in evolution don't even know the facts.

People did not evolve from monkeys. It appears it is you who doesn't know that facts.
"Evolution is a THEORY for a reason."
It's a theory because it's been tested, retested and then tested some more for 150 fucking years and has not once failed those tests.
"While evolution happens on a very small scale (adaptation), humans did not come from monkeys."
No shit.
"Prove that the world is more than 10,000 years old.....You can't."
Zircon within the Earth's crust can be dated to 4.4 billion years old. Happy now?
"but I can prove it is not:"
I doubt that.
"If mankind has been on earth over a million years, as the evolutionists tell us, then why do the records of their activity only go back a few thousand years."
Records as in writing? Because it was only invented about 4000 years ago you twit.
If you want other "records" there's plenty of it dating back a couple million years or so.
"The evidence agrees with the Bible account, not with the evolutionists. Evolutionary theory is a myth. God created everything; the evidence clearly points to it. Nothing else can explain the mountain of evidence "
What evidence is that?
"Man, whom the evolutionists claim to have come into existence over a million years ago, is said to have "stopped evolving" 100,000 years ago."
Said by who? Humans are still subject to evolution, just not quite as much as other creatures as we can adapt our environment to suit us, rather than us adapting to suit it. There are still selective pressures at work (sexual selection for example) and random mutations still occur.
"Why then do we not have at least 100,000 years of civilizations, cities, and human remains?"
Because civilization only happened a few thousand years ago you moron. What this has to do with your evolution tirade I can't quite figure out.
"Where are all those half man/half ape fossils which should be abundant in the earth's soil layers? They don't exist. This is what is known as the "missing link" by evolutionists. "
No kidding. The stereotypical "missing link" is not like the little cartoons you'll see in the old newspaper cartoons of the 1800s.
Rest assured, transitional fossils/species do exist.
"Although evolutionists state that life resulted from non-life, matter resulted from nothing, and humans resulted from animals, each of these is an impossibility of science and the natural world."
Evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life or where matter comes from.
Humans, by the way, are animals you moron; we didn't "come from" them.
None of the above is "impossible" by any standard of science.
"The supposed hominids (creatures in-between ape and human that evolutionists believe used to exist) bones and skull record used by evolutionists often consists of `finds' which are thoroughly unrevealing and inconsistent."
That's not what a hominid is you jackass. By the way, I'm pretty sure you're far less than qualified to make the determination about what finds are "unrevealing and inconsistent" and which are not.
"They are neither clear nor conclusive even though evolutionists present them as if they were."
Actually they're both. Certainly to a scientist with the relevant training but even to a layman like me it's pretty clear.
"Nine of the twelve popularly supposed hominids are actually extinct apes/ monkeys and not part human at all."
Where's that pic with all the hominid skulls lined up? I'd like Dustin to tell us all where "apes" end and "humans" begin in that series and how he came to that conclusion.
"The final three supposed hominids put forth by evolutionists are actually modern human beings and not part monkey/ ape at all."
Correct. If they're modern humans then they're completely ape, not part. Though I don't think that's what you meant.
"Therefore, all twelve of the supposed hominids can be explained as being either fully monkey/ ape or fully modern human but not as something in between."
You're really not understanding this transitional fossil/species concept, are you?
"The God of heaven created our world about 6,000 years ago."
Show evidence, please.
"Then, about 2348 B.C., a gigantic Flood covered the earth."
Show evidence, please.
"Keeping in mind that we are dealing with very ancient events, all the evidence can be reconciled with these figures."
You realize that the ancient Egyptians and Chinese were happily plodding along with the most advanced civilizations in the world while your flood was supposedly happening, don't you?
"Many believe in evolution for the simple reason that they think science has proven it to be a `fact' and, therefore, it must be accepted..."
Evolution is as near to fact as you're going to get outside of mathematics.
"In recent years, a great many people...having finally been persuaded to make a real examination of the problem of evolution, have become convinced of its fallacy and are now convinced anti-evolutionists."
-- Henry Morris, former evolutionist."
Henry Morris was a fucking moron who unleashed the scourge of modern day creationism on the planet. He should be reviled, not revered.
"How can evolutionists believe in evolution when science seems to go against so much of it?"
Creation "science" isn't science so it doesn't much matter if it goes against evolution.

First learn math.
Second, we have ancient ruins and egyptian hieroglyphics that are older than 6,000 years.

Radiometric dating takes care of the age of the Earth. Seeing as this relies on the same theories as those that are responsible for nuclear weapons and power, they're damn good.
hominid fossils
Pick a link, any link. The only people that babble about a missing link are creationists. So many have been found it's ridiculous.

Go to a museum. The Natural History museums in New York, DC, Philly and Boston all have dinosaur and other fossils.
And if you're one of those nuts who believe dinosaurs lived 5,000 years ago, explain the 15,000 year old cave drawings in France.

I love how fundies manage to turn off their common sense so completely and utterly.
"Evolution is but a theory, not real" and "evolution happens", in the same fucking sentence, without a second thought.

When the fuck was Henry Morris ever anything else but a Creationist? The man would discount any scientific evidence if he couldn't reconcile it with his precious Bible.
By the way, Dustin, the scientific community is still waiting for creationists to put their money where their Bible is and show all this supposed evidence for its accuracy.
