    Time and time again fossils show rapid death - you interpret this as a huge number of series of small events recorded over time - e.g. fossils with food in their stomachs, etc - obviously died relatively instantly

    It depends on how you interpret the data - Agiest you see that data and see many thousands of individual events spread over millions of years.

    I look at it and see one worldwide event and that these events all happened at once.

    That's a good one. I myself found a bonefish 300 m above sea level in an european country, in very good condition in a kind of soft rocks. Others found a swordfish approx. 3 meters of length in the same area.

    Wonder if they were able to fly.

    I still argue there is plenty of water.

    Agiest if you can even get the first step in a chain started - i.e. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -5 - 6 -7, then your whole logic and reasoning is fatally flawed

    This attached photo comes from a creationist website - but it clearly illustrates the many layers created in a very short space of time

    The man in the red shirt gives a perspective of scale.

    Hmmm, I seem to have unsubscribed to this thread, and in that absence it has blown right out of proportion.

    Quoting extracts from creationist websites impresses me not one little bit. yes, i could sit here and systematically destroy every single argument you have presented. The reason Evolution is still accepted even though you beleive you have a ton of evidence against it, is because those arguments only convince the uneducated in the matter. The people who understand the fields understand why those arguments are fatally flawed in some way.

    You assume that fish on mountains is a problem. You assume that the chirality of molecules is a problem. You assume that a tree spanning multiple layers is a problem. but you only assume it because you are lead to believe it is true, even though the people leading you to believe it have as little training in the matter as you have.

    By the way, you don't have to trust the professionals, but you should at least do the research yourself before you accept the rubbish creationists feed you.


    http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/polystrate/trees.html
    "Malone, along with many "young Earth global flood creationists", have no idea that even data from the 19th century, presented by a creationist geologist is enough to demolish the "polystrate fossil trees" part of their presentation. "Polystrate fossil trees" are probably one of the weakest pieces of evidence YEGF creationists can offer for their interpretation. I wish they would stop using it. "

    http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abioprob/originoflife.html
    "How did this homochirality of amino acids and sugars arise? It is a question that has puzzled origin-of-life researchers for decades, yet a series of recent findings appears to address it astonishingly well."

    As for the gases in the atmosphere...that is almost insultingly simple. Frustratingly so. Try to understand what you are talking about to SOME degree before you try to use it as an argument....

    I watched an hour long program on TV last night about Evolution. The most used word on that show was "Therefore" and the next was "flexion" of some bone in the middle of the skull. I think it was called "sphenix"

    The conclusions jumped to after saying "therefore" was incredible. How these professors look when they do this "jumping" must be awful for those who look up to them.

    and some have the gall to say I have blind faith...hmmmmm

    Col :)

    Well aegist we will agree to disagree at this point in time - depending further evidence or discoveries. Certainly did EVOLVE into a really big thread - LOL.

    Sure, OK.

    Creationists can continue to look for evidence for their conclusion,
    I'll carry on working in my field and finding evidence, then analysing that evidence for a conclusion.

    i don't expect you to understand the difference, but it is an important one.
