In a world without God...

[Drich]

I think fossils are stone.

This is just a fucking stone?

Ever been to the smithsonian in DC? They must have one of the best collections of fossilized remains on the planet. When I went through the tour there i was struck by what they said and were actively doing there. The guid told us that 2/3's of what we saw on display was reproduction. They were taken from partial casts and artist renditions to create what was missing, damage or simply too fragile to display. They said only a hand ful of real complete skeletons exist in the world and they are composits compiled from various sites from around the world. They went on to say that even when they find a "complete" skeleton only about 75 to 80 percent of it is usable for cast making. Most of what they find are fragments that have to be pieced back together.

This is the crap they find:

And you gobble it up... Yet it is the Christian who has a relationship with the Living God who is blindly believing everything He hears.

Indeed, I prefer to date women. But I can also use the same mathematics that is used to operate nuclear reactors to determine the absolute date of igneous rocks. And relative dating is a very straight forward enough thing to perform. But none of this addresses the real issue. And that is that you appear to have no education or experience whatsoever to come to the conclusion that rocks can't be dated or that evolution is not real science. I am offering you the chance to turn that around by taking you into the field and showing you how it is done. So what do you say, grasshopper? Want put your money where your mouth is? Take me up on my challenge? Or are you just blowing more creationist smoke?

I'll check you out on that and get back with you, I have a friend at Oak Ridge National Labs, he and his father are both nuclear engineers.

That ain't bone.

It's most likely plaster and paint.
