What's 700 Million Years Among Friends?

Quote:Sep. 25, 2013 — Oxygen appeared in the atmosphere up to 700 million years earlier than we previously thought, according to research published today in the journal Nature, raising new questions about the evolution of early life.

I wonder where the exhibit for this will be at the Creation "Museum?"

Of course those atheist scientists are wrong and God put just the right amount of oxygen in the atmosphere for us to breathe. I mean, first those scientists say oxygen appeared at one time, and then they change it to say that it happened 700 million years earlier. Dang scientists always changing their minds and can't keep their story straight!

"Carl, we're gonna need you to move the timeline back about a quarter-inch."
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

It does poke a major hole in those creationist arguments that the earth was built "just right" for life to exist, doesn't it? You know, those lame arguments that Earth is the only planet with an atmosphere in which we can breathe, it's just the right distance from the sun, just the right temperature, has just the right gravity, etc.

Which actually argues against a God. Nothing miraculous to see here - move along.

If, on the other hand, we lived on a planet that couldn't support life - that would prove God.

Shit but I am on a roll today.

God is "unchanging" therefore they shouldn't have to learn anything new. it's a wonder that they call it the "new" testament.

Quote:Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and University of British Columbia examined the chemical composition of three-billion-year-old soils from South Africa -- the oldest soils on Earth -- and found evidence for low concentrations of atmospheric oxygen.
