Come to the Creation Museum in northern Kentucky. There, you will see that dinosaurs walked the earth together with man and prehistoric man and all other creatures on earth at once. Conundrum neatly solved.

oh..this is priceless...screw Disney.

It's not hilarious when little children are asked science questions, they eagerly raise their hands with the answers they learned in school, seen on the Discovery Channel, etc - and they are told they are wrong.

Of course, opinion, fact, wild-azzed guess, "what I feel strongly" - it all has the same weight in the empirical world, to some.

what gets me most would be the people who say there's no such thing as evolution-i then mention eohippus. we'd never have jocks making weight had horses remained in their orirginal form.

Yes they'd be able to make weight cause we were like 18 inches tall back then.

Maybe its the jockeys that have never evolved?

LOL - the explaination, OBVIOUSLY, has to be that all things ever found fossilized were here all at once, at the same time, all placed here by God by the end of the 6th day - but some of it has died out. Carbon dating = Just "a theory"

As a science teacher I have fought this battle...
its really not worth it.

So I again will paraphrase Jonathan Swift on this one:

Do not attempt to reason a man (or pregnant woman) out of
something they did not reason themselves into.

There is no arguement.
Mainly because some people do not have
a grasp of what science is, and is not.

Its quite futile imo...

If they really are searching for a reasonable truth,
they will find it. Eventually. I hope. Maybe not...

But, c'mon, how about that gravity thing? That's easy.
