When scientists make observations about deposits of material around volcanoes (active or dead) they take eruptions into account (why you would imagine that they didn't is beyond me). Based upon the layers alone it would be difficult to determine the age of a volcano, or anything around an area of volcanic activity at any time (this is well understood, which is why other methods were sought out). That a process can be shortened (laughable, considering the subject honestly) does not mean that it was.

I can say that a gradual process is more likely but not during a volcanic eruption which you seem to forget Mt. St. Helens is. You have to understand the difference between possible and probable. Look at it this way, it is definitely possible for you to survive a fall from 30000 feet without a parachute (record is 33316 feet by Vesna Vulović) but would you say it's probable that you would?

I think it's willful ignorance that is his problem. Chippy, my sister has a Ph.D. in geophysics, so I could ask her about this and put this issue to rest. I'm sure, however, that you would just dimiss the answers since she is not a Jesus follower.

This is all like saying that, since we know rocks can fall to Earth as meteorites, this means that the most likely explanation for every rock we see is they're all meteorites. A process which accounts for one observable facet of nature doesn't automatically account for all others, however similar. That's where scientific investigation comes in of course (and where "creation science" goes out).
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

'Being a liar for Jesus" reminds me of a really nasty cult we had here about 30 years ago; "Children Of God". Today they call themselves "The Family International"
The most attractive female teen members were openly encouraged to "be a hooker for Jesus".They would prey on confused,gormless and extremely horny teenage boys.They would fuck the boys' brains out,then lead them by the dick into the cult. Very effective. Quote: The Family International (TFI), formed as the Children of God (COG) and later named Family of Love and the Family, is a cult,[1][2] started in 1968 in Huntington Beach, California, United States. It began in the late 1960s, with many of its early converts drawn from the hippie movement. The Children of God was among the movements prompting the cult controversy of the 1970s and 1980s in the United States and Europe and triggered the first organized anticult group FREECOG. Quote:Loving Jesus[14].http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_God_(cult) The full Wiki article makes fascinating reading.These arseholes make Scientology look downright benign. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_God_(cult) RE: Christianity and the 10 Commandments

That's where scientific investigation comes in of course (and where "creation science" goes out). No no. Not presumptions that are so obvious but more subtle ones. It is presumed that time and space is uniform but what if it's not? It used to be presumed that space was nothing, but now it's increasingly being thought as an entity. This is how theories of wormholes started to rise. It was also presumed time was uniform, but we now find that it's not; proven by Einstein. Everyone has preassumptions, but the question is what are yours? Even Stephan Hawking admits to his. Stephan Hawking Wrote:we are not able to make cosmological models without some admixture of ideology. Ideology is personal beliefs, so he admits that many of the theories they come up with is a mixture of evidence and personal beliefs.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! -4th verse of the american national anthem RE: Christianity and the 10 Commandments

We make assumptions without even realizing it Chip. What's more important than whether or not we make assumptions ( it's safe to assume that we all do ), or what those assumptions are (could be anything, like ammonia tasting like melted pennies), is what we do when we find out that those assumptions that we made were baseless or even in direct conflict with what evidence we have available.
You're grasping at straws, attempting to borrow the credibility of others by quote mining.
