So, you understand the criteria for evidence. For a hypothesis (not just your bible one) to become a theory, the physical evidence should be overwhelming enough to convince the staunchest of skeptics.

Not at all. We are restricting the evidence to reality - to what physically exists and can be seen. Any fields of evidence which are rife with subjectivity and impossible to verify, such as POV literature of third level hearsay written by unknown authors with multiple possible interpretations, non-scientific language and unverifiable events are discounted. That is exactly why your bible is not evidence.

Since there was only 1 global flood in all of history, it is highly unlikely any of you could identify such evidence.
Easy. A single sedimentary layer dated to the same time with fossils from a diverse cross-section of species, indicating something akin to a mass extinction would indicate a global flood. Since there is no such evidence, we have a good reason to believe that there was no global flood.

You know as well as I that such evidence is left to the personal opinion of the person doing the study and since evolutionary thinking people do not want to prove the Bible true, it would be hard to find 1 person willing to be honest enough to contradict their own unbelief.
So, these people form their opinions based on evidence and do not have a preconceived agenda of proving the bible true. I don't see how it makes them dishonest.

No, evolutionists always verify their claims. Creationists just can't.

They have to tilt the playing field in their favor just so they have an excuse to justify their decision to lead a sinful life. Not only do these restrictions show the unfairness of the evolutionist, it also demonstrates their fear that they may learn that their ideas are wrong.
Yes, tilting the playing field to ensure only true claims with evidence are included and idiotic and false claims with no evidence and no scientific basis are ruled out altogether. How dare we?

And apparently god went to great lengths to cover it up.
(May 5, 2012 at 8:57 pm)DeeTee Wrote: As a P.S. Such a request with its unrealistic restrictions only goes to show that the evolutionist refuses to be honest in their research. They take a person's body that is under the limitation of 70 years of life (+/-) and then declare that humans cannot live for 900 years thus they conclude that the Bible is false. That is dishonest work and not real objective scientific scholarship.
And creationists, without doing any actual research on human body, claim that humans can. They expect accolades for doing no work?
