The fossil record in the limestone where archaeopteryx fossils have
also been found also records the last steps of a Horseshoe crab
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19514333

The creationists love to reveal how profoundly stupid they are when it
comes to the fossil record by asking why it doesn't record every
evolutionary step of every living thing that ever evolved. Even
simple common sense answers that question, which proves how little of
common sense is owned by the creationists.

Here's an example:
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/notrocketscience/2012/09/03/dinosaur-complete-tails/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NotRocketScience+%28Not+Exactly+Rocket+Science%29

Literally thousands of dino fossils, but only two dozen complete
tails. Undeniable proof that the fossil record does not record
everything, nor is there any reason whatsoever why it should. Only a
creaitonist would be stupid enough to try to claim that it should.

The fossil record, just like evolution, has no purpose. There is no
plan, no organization, no should, no ought to. It just is, much in
the same way as a creator god just isn't.

Actually it does have a purpose.

It stands as a continuous testimony of the catastrophic global
deluge that destroyed the ancient word, and also as a warning
of the coming judgment soon to befall our sinful generation.

Except this time it will not be by water.

So all those distinct sedimentary layers that have been demonstrated
to contain evidence of vastly different environments and atmospheric
conditions, in places separated by igneous rock layers, and laid down
over an incredibly long period, according to your "belief" were all
laid down, settled, dried out etc., in under twelve months?

Perhaps Andrew should look at http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/geocolumn/

No, actually it rules it out. The fossil record would look *much*
different than it does if there was a global flood as described in
Genesis.

Your statement must by true, otherwise your whole worldview

Dinosaurs running up a 70-degree mud wall, a mud wall that didn't slump
and wasn't disturbed in the slightest after being entirely covered with
water. Is that really the story that you want to stick with?

Stratigraphic sequences the world over clearly show that no global flood
occurred. For example, there is a beautiful sequence in that most
hallowed of creationist "proofs" of the Flud (TM), the Grand Canyon. It
shows marine deposition by *decreasing* depth of salt water, followed by
estuarine deposition, followed by fresh water deposition, followed by
aeolian (wind) deposition, followed by salt water deposition again.

Unless I'm much mistaken, that wouldn't be a sequence that would be
expected under the Flud (TM) model. I've never seen a creationist
attempt to explain it. Rather, they ignore it and pretend that the
entire sequence was laid down more or less at the same time. I've never
even seen a good creationist explanation for why stratigraphic layers
exist at all.

Why don't you and I formally debate the scientific evidence for the
Noahic flood?

Please present your five best scientific evidences (supported with
references ot the primary science paper in which it was published) for
a global flood as the Bible depicts in Genesis.

Yoru failure to do so will be yet *another* denial of Christ and will
also be your open and unconditional admission that you are a liar when
you claimt here was such a flood.

Same water pressure that blasted out the Grand Canyon in
less than six weeks. Yes, that's the story he wants us to

The popular theories of geology and the formation of the geologic column
may in fact have significant flaws that might be better explained by a relatively
sudden global catastrophe or closely spaced series of very large catastrophes.

At least it seems like the door is open to this possibility as well as to the idea
that the geologic column may not represent billions of years of earth's history,
but may in fact have been formed rapidly.

The evidence fits better the model of a lot of water in a little

Let's see.

Bible describes a single catastrophic event, just one.

This clearly doesn't fit the objective evidence.

So Andrew decides to claim there were several catastrophes.

A tiny wooden ship is supposed to have survived all this intact?

Pull the other one Andrew, it's got bells on.

Localised catastrophic flood.

Produces one layer of sediment.

All organic remains are jumbled up together.

No distinct layers.

No remains in distinct layers.

Andrew, focus. How does the creationist flood "model" explain a
not-far-off vertical mud wall on which dinosaurs scampered for their
dear lives but which remained unsullied by presumed turbidity?

If you understand the creationist flood model, you should have no
trouble answering such a question.

You don't really have a model at all. All you have is the same ad hoc
explanation "it fits the flood model better' for every problem presented to
you. You never explain how it fits better, and you ignore all the
contradictions your answer creates. Like a Flood that carves canyons,
desposites trillions of tonnes of sediments, forces tectonic plates to move
rapidly, but leaves delicate foot prints in the mud.

Let's try the Great Barrier Reef. How does it fit into your
one-flood-fits-all model?

Jason, please explain briefly a few points that support "The evidence
fits better the model of a lot of water in a little bit of time,
rather than a lot of time and a little bit of water".

The URL you supplied contains a great deal of clutter. I would not
refer you, undirected, to a book on sedimentology or stratigraphy to
support an argument of mine relating to what observation and reason
supports as to "the model" I feel correct. For ou, just a handful of
reasons why your model is correct, five, maybe. Three would be nice.
Since you reference the work, I assume you have familiarity with it,
and if you understand what was written, please give a brief support of
what you have written, in your own words or paraphrasing the author,
in a succinct fashion.

I try to play fair. Please give me the "fair" answer I expect to get
from you, direct and simple, and not too wordy.

Thanks!

The footprints are awfully close together and too regularly spaced
to have been made by terror-stricken dinosaurs scampering
for their dear lives. They also seem to be headed in all directions,
not just upward from the rising waters of gawd's wrath.

The flood was not in one day. There were rising and falling

The prints are from imprints in semi-liquified sediment that

Since some of those footprints are reliably dated at millions of years
earlier or later than others, the objective physical evidence conflicts
with the demands of you Bible thumpers.

Since that flood model, however carefully skewed by creationists,
conflicts violently with ever so much objective physical evidence, I,
for one, prefer to accept only those conclusions compatible with that
objective physical evidence.

This is highly entertaining.

"Now, lets take a look at continental drift or plate tectonics. 
According to today's popular scientists, the continents of today were
once connected in an original continent by the name of Pangea."

"...today's popular scientists"???? Seriously? That's a very bad sign.

And not too long after:

"Initially those who first proposed this idea of continental drift were
thought to be crazy. However, with discoveries of paleomagnetism and
other evidences, such as the rather obvious puzzle-piece match of
various continents, the theory quickly gained popularity. "

What is this obsession with popularity? What does popularity have to do
with whether or not a hypothesis is supported enough to be a theory?

OHMIGAWD, it gets ever more ridiculous:

"Fad or not, the popularity of plate tectonic theory is undeniable and
this popularity is felt by some to be limiting the exploration of any
other possible theories as belief in plate tectonics is so strong that
it is difficult to get any other hypothesis published if it seems to
move against this paradigm."

These idiots do not have a clue how science is done. So how can anything
they say about science matters be true, much less make sense.


"The fact of the matter is that scientists are finding certain aspects
of the earth's crust that simply are not easily explained by the theory
of plate tectonics as it currently stands.  Some of these problems are
more readily apparent than others.  Perhaps one of the more easily
discernable problems is one that involves the maintenance of fit of the
continents over the course of 200+ million years of drift since Pangea. 
Consider that over relatively short time periods, erosion, deposition,
and sedimentary river delta deposits change edges of landmasses
significantly.  For example, three hundred years before Christ, Ephesus
was a seaport city on the coast of the Aegean Sea in Asia Minor.  Within
only 800 years, the city was no longer a port city, but an inland city. 
The historian Pliney said that, in ancient times the sea used to wash up
to the temple of Diana [in Ephesus].  The reason for this regression of
the sea is that the relatively small rivers of Cayster and Meander run
near the city.   Over the years they deposited so much sediment that the
land extended some several miles in a relatively short time.  Today
Ephesus is located about five miles inland.
 
"With all the erosion and on all the various continents and rivers
depositing deltas like the ones at Ephesus, should the continents not,
over a 200+ million year period, loose the shape of their ancient
coastlines?  Currently, according to the US Army Corp of Engineers,..."
and off we go into a lot of handwaving about how coastal erosion cannot
be explained using plate tectonics and, in fact, disproves it. Somehow.

Oh, wait:

"So, knowing this, let us be very conservative and say that an average
coastline changes only one centimeter per year.  This would not be
enough erosion to worry anyone right?  However, how much change would
that be in 200 million years?  The change would be two thousand
kilometers (1,200 miles) . . .  Enough to erode (or deposit) half way
through the United States!   This does not appear to be the case
though.  The coastlines of the various continents still match up very
well - not to mention the fact that the continents themselves have not
been washed away within this time.  I mean, judging by the current rate
of erosion, Louisiana would have been subjected to 5 billion square
miles of erosion/deposition in 200 million years.  That is more than 300
times the size of the entire North American Continent (15 million square
miles)!  That is actually fifteen times more land than the entire
surface area of the Earth itself to include that covered by water (317
million square miles)! 

"Now, I am not saying that rates of erosion do not fluctuate and change,
but it seems fairly obvious that with even minimal amounts of
continental erosion, the continents of today would not match up so
easily if they really had separated from each other over 200 million
years ago.  The evidence does not appear to fit the theory - not even
close.  An extremely rapid continental drift in the recent past seems
much more likely.  A great deal of sudden energy would be required to
cause such a rapid and global continental drift.  Such a sudden release
of energy would most likely cause incredible global catastrophe. 
Massive floods, earthquakes, and volcanoes would occur suddenly on a
global scale."

Yes, this is part of the article that Andrew seems to think proves that
his god exists. Somehow.


I can't read anymore. My stomach hurts from so much laughing at the
amazing lack of knowledge and the misunderstandings that arise from it.
Shooting themselves in the foot.

Go on. Are you saying that the muddy tracks were formed before or after
the flood? How did the mud remain adhered to the 70-degree wall? What
about the supposed turbidity of the flood waters?

Maybe God's spaceship took all the water from Mars and Venus and
dumped it on Earth to make the floodwaters, then scooped it all up
afterwards and by mistake dumped it all back on Venus, which is why
Venus and Mars are in the state they are today. :P

IIRC, Andrew's take is that the Earth's mountains were mere pimples
before Ye Floode but "grew" after. When I asked him how the energy
released by this mountain building avoided melting the Earth's crust
or how continuous Richter 9 earthquakes were not mentioned in Genesis,
I was told with great condescension that things were different in the
antediluvial world. The detail that this orogony happened post
deluvial didn't seem to faze him.

What about the prints suggests that the dinosaurs were

I still don't understand why Flooders insists on having natural,

God. The complete absence of physical evidence for the Flood is the best,

I certainly hope so. They might be totally wrong about what real science has
to say, but if they start reasoning along the lines of 'evidence beats
faith' there is still hope that they'll get it right eventually.

No, same story. The water had more than one source.

"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day
of the second month-on that day all the springs of the great deep
burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. And
rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights."
Genesis7:11,12

"For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the
waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. The
waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated
on the surface of the water. They rose greatly on the earth, and all
the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. The
waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than
fifteen cubits. Every living thing that moved on land perished-birds,
livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth,
and all mankind. Everything on dry land that had the breath of life
in its nostrils died. Every living thing on the face of the earth was
wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along
the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah
was left, and those with him in the ark. The waters flooded the
earth for a hundred and fifty days."
Genesis7:17-24

Chapter 7 verse 17)

and

"When the water had increased over the earth for a hundred and fifty
days,... God took thought for Noah and the beasts and cattle with him
in the ark, and he caused a wind to blow over the earth, so that the
water began to subside. The springs of the deep and the windows of

Andrew, I know you are dumber than a fence post but I thought I would give
this one more sincere shot. Just because an item is on the internet
doesn't mean
it is true. Just because it is in a book, it isn't true. In both cases
you either need to be
versed in the field being discussed or know the credentials of the
person presenting the
topic.

No Andrew, two stories. Even some fundamentalists agree on this. Only

You need more than that to know truth, because there
are those who have good credentials who do not agree
with each other.

The process of stratification presented and demonstrated
is probably different than what you were taught. Therefore
you need to follow some of your advice above, and find
out exactly what is the truth, even if what you had been
previously taught is in error.

I accept that the above applies also to me. But you have
made no attempt to refute in a material way what I have

The problem, Andrew, is that Creationists start off with a
preconceived religious idea of what happened, and try to fit the data
to their model. Scientists start with the data, and build their model
around it. Which is more likely to be a fruitful approach to
knowledge?

As long as it is constricted to fit the worldview
to which the majority of scientists subscribe."

"I am convinced, moreover, that
Darwinism, in whatever form, is
not in fact a scientific theory, but
a pseudo-metaphysical hypothesis
decked out in scientific garb. In
reality the theory derives its support
NOT from empirical data or logical
deductions of a scientific kind but
from the circumstance that it happens
to be the only doctrine of biological
origins that can be conceived with
the constricted worldview to which
a majority of scientists no doubt
subscribe."
