Quote:Anytime you want to go on a tour of what the World and Life is really about let me know. How do you know it is that old? I think it is built on a 4300 year old bed of marine fossils, which would be cool- not ironic. I have always been honest about where I get my information, never claimed to be getting it from talkorigins. It was not from the Creation Museum though, I have not been there. Kind of arrogant to assume you know where I get my material better than I do.
You have no idea what age those fossil beds are because you've never studied them. I have studied them for many years. Do you have any idea how the geologic time scale was devised? Any idea at all? You've not been honest where you get your information, and even in your post, above, you aren't being honest. I didn't say that you had been to the museum. I said that you got your information from Answers In Genesis. And in fact, more than one of your posts have been verbatum from their web site. And yet you make no citation. It doesn't taqke a rocket scientist to read your posts and compare them with already published articles from a creationist web site. Name the time, and I can meet you at ther Creation Museum and we can go on our little geology field trip. Bring anyone along who is also interested. The more, the merrier, I always say. And just for fun, let's see if our esteemed biocreationist can identify the critter in my avatar. Enjoy,
Quote:Maybe I need to use smaller words. Egyptian Hystoriography is based on anti-flood assumptions, so it cannot be used to argue against a flood. It's not that hard to understand. Using this to argue against what it already assumes is untrue would be committing the "Assuming the Proof" fallaacy. If you want to be lillogical be my guest, but I will not play that game.
So, in your view, the thousands of scientists and historians who have worked on Egyptian history for centuries are wrong, but you are right, because??? Do you have any idea how foolish you appear when you make such statements?

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
