1) Do you understand the difference between science and faith? I know that in Science by definition requires faith in All theories until the theory changes yet again. And in God only the smallest measure of faith is required to be given absolute proof of God. 2) If Noah really lived for 900 years, do you realize that means he lived for nearly 1/6 of the time you claim the world has existed? The bible makes no claims as to how old the planet is. You are describing a man made doctrine. One that does not require belief, in order to believe in Creation. 3) If God could create the Earth in 6 days, why couldn’t he have just given Noah an ark instead of making him build one? I agree with the original answer in part. In that god could have given Noah the Ark. But that would have gone against the reason God saved humanity. In that it was the faith of Noah that made him righteous before God, and subsequently the reason why Humanity through noah should be saved.. Faith that played out over the time span and all the hard work noah spent in building the ark. 4) If humans and dinosaurs roamed the Earth at the same time, why don’t we ever find their bones in the same places? they have! http://www.discoverynews.us/DISCOVERY%20...trata.html http://www.dinosaurc14ages.com/footprints.htm http://ianjuby.org/examining-the-delk-track/ There are many more instances to be found that provides evidence of Dinos and Humans coexisting, but the point I making here falls back on the first question and the comment I made about science requiring large amounts of faith. Now to look at evidence found especially in the discovery news article and if you are still hang on to your theory without fairly questioning what you believe along with said evidence, is proof of your faith. 5) About 97% of scientists (if not more) follow every rule written in science books. Exactly 0% of creationists follow every rule that’s written in the Bible. If you so wholeheartedly believe the Bible gives a word for word account of how old the Earth is, why don’t you follow every other rule that’s inside? ...Because Christianity is not about obeying rules. It is about What God did to free us from said rules as a means to our final state of righteousness. 6) Since the age of the Earth and evolution are as scientifically accepted as gravity and photosynthesis – are you then denying the existence of gravity and photosynthesis? "Evolution" is just one narrative that posits an explaination concerning the fossil record. We have no proof of MACRO Evolution. Unlike gravity and photosynthesis. (Evolution is a non falsifiable narrative) Even if Dinos are 100 bazillion years old we have no 'proof' they evolved. All we have are newer fossils that are different from supposedly much much older ones. Again the popular narrative says they evolved, a much simpler explaination is that we are simply looking at a different sub species of the same or similar animal. It's like finding a 6000 year old duck skeleton and a 2000 year old swan, and if both were extinct and we knew nothing of ducks and swans, some d-bag looking to make a name for himself could claim it only took 4000 or 400000000 (the time frame is irrelevant) years for one to evolve into another. the point being with out a complete catalog of all known animals on the planet for each and every supposed time period in which major 'evolutionary changes occurred" one is operating off pure faith that the narrative of evolution is indeed 100% correct. 7) Has any creationist ever seen the original copy of the Bible? Then how do you know what it really said? The evidence for the Bible is more compelling than any other historical fact! There are over 300,000 parts of the OT and entire books that date back to 100 BC. I’m sure you don’t doubt the Homer wrote the Illiad, but there are only 86 copies of it dating to 1000 AD (he wrote it in 100 BC; so how do we really know what is in it? We have parts of the NT from 125 AD and whole copies of the Bible from around 325 AD. The lack of whole copies of the Bible before that are because of a Nazi-like strategy of the Roman empire to burn them! How typical! But we have 50,000 complete copies of the NT dating from 1000 BC. That evidence blows everything else out of the water. If you believe anything at all, it has thousands of times less evidence than the Bible. And that is a scientific observable fact! I like this guys answer for that one 8) If God determines when we live and die, why are humans living longer due to advances in medical scientific research? I guess we are nowhere near living 900 years now are we? Science has a long way to go to get to that stage now doesn’t it? Still we have people living on average 70 years as the Bible says. Some very fat and out of shape people live well into their 90’s and people with little body fat die in their 50’s. Can you explain that scientifically? I like this answer too. I have a guy who works for me who is 78 and 300+ lbs. He has always ate drank and smoked whatever he wanted, and still does. No strokes, heart attacks, or prolonged hospital stays. His dad was fit and died at 60 and mom died at 72. Then I've got another guy who use to do iron man competitions, bike across the state, who was always crazy fit and active always watched what he ate never drank or did drugs. His body is shutting down/stopped making red blood cells. everyone in his family has lived to be almost 100... The point I am making here is we do not have the keys to our mortality, and to think we do is beyond a leap of faith even with our best 'science.' This question is stupid and based on a sterotype that did not apply to first century man. the following article references first century historian who catalog groups of men commonly living past their 100s. http://www.preventingtruthdecay.org/firs...pans.shtml 9) Hundreds of years ago people believed that the Earth was the center of the universe, until science proved them completely wrong. Science now tells us how old the Earth is, and the truth about evolution, yet you still want to cling to the same level of ignorance as those from centuries ago? It was the "scientists" that believe the earth was the center of the universe. Yet it was the book of Job, written around 1440 BC probably by Moses, and who lived hundreds of years before that during the time of the earliest humans told us that “God hung the earth in nothing.” Wow! Apparently people from the 4th century BC were much more knowledgeable and scientifically accurate than scientists from the dark ages! Dude got it right again, so I'm going with his answer again! 10) Can you accurately predict, based on the “science” within the Bible, any event that will occur in the near future? Can you, by science of any kind, predict the future? I'd say here Open the book of revelation and then turn on the news. We can see the pieces of the final days being placed on the board. [quote] (author) —– I would have some sort of witty response for these answers, but I think they speak for themselves. [/quote] I think if the author could 'have witty answers' he would have.. How many times do you guy let perceived opportunities to make a believer look bad, go? Especially when you can get an "at a boy" from your peers? 
This little interview looks fake as fuck.
There's WAY TOO LITTLE ALL CAPS FOR IT TO BE A REAL CREATIONIST.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Pretty sure it's real, Steel. Now we even have AF's own Drippy Doodle (post #22) answering the questions and liking the original answers. I had him on "ignore" but I risked taking a peek. Yep, his own commentary, with links to fundie creatard websites and everything.

Right back at you! It takes more faith to believe in evolution, and may scientists even use the term faith to describe their believe in “missing links”. The real question is “Where you there?” Did you observe the beginning of creation? I thought that was necessary for science apparently not . . . especially when science needs to take a “leap of faith!”
This image sums up everything: [img] http://futurism.com/wp-content/uploads/2...ortune.jpg[/img] If the dinosaurs lived for billions of years as you suggest, isn’t it interesting that they existed for 1/6 of your age of the earth? What kind of science can prove either? It takes faith to believe both. I see you’re still struggling with that “faith” thing! There were many generations of dinosaurs. Noah was a single man, who according to young earth creationists lived for one sixth of the age of the earth. There's so many problems with the Noah story that anyone who buys it as true are fooling themselves. He could have! But He didn’t because God wanted Noah to preach the gospel for 120 years. Yes that is the kind of merciful God that we have “faith” in! The people had a chance to believe even though none did. And the evidence of a world-wide flood is staggering! And it totally destroys anyone’s ability to know the age of the earth! In other words, Carbon 14, etc. results are all wrong because of the flood! I wouldn't call killing off all the babies who were born recently during Noah's time "merciful". As a mother I say it's completely and entirely cruel if any of the Noah story were remotely true. It'd take a cruel and capricious god to kill off all the infants in the world (not to mention the animals) Also there's zero evidence of a world wide flood. Why don’t we find animal remains and human remains together today? Same reason! People didn’t bury their dead where they eat! Your questions are getting more and more ridiculous! Did you give this any thought at all? The creationist yet again grossly misunderstood the question being posed. No surprise, they have trouble with reading comprehension when they consider a guy who killed of 99% of the world's population as 'merciful'. Guess Hitler was merciful for not wiping out the Jews ENTIRELY. First of all, your 97% is totally wrong. It is almost 50% of scientists that believe in a Designer of Creation! You ignorance of the Bible is also telling. Much of the direction in the OT is for the nation of Israel. Only the moral laws are applicable to us. But it is recorded for our encouragement and to know that God always come through for His people! Again, it is a matter of faith to believe in the inspired word of God. Jesus was also only meant for the people of Israel. [b}Your question is a Non sequitur! This question is also your attempt at a leap of faith! This is not scientific at all. Since you don’t believe in creationism, does that automatically make you an atheist? And most scientists do not believe in evolution because it takes such an unsubstantiated leap of faith to believe it! There are no observable facts to support evolution; so real scientists do not “believe” in it any longer! Since the majority of people on the earth do not believe in your age of the earth nor do they believe in evolution, does that not make you the outcast? Are you therefore wrong because the majority disagree with you! This kind of reasoning is not scientific at all and you are not being scientific. [/b] There's a lot of evidence that supports evolution. 99.9% of scientists accept evolution. Some believe in God, but they believe in Intelligent Design. Which is stupid, because how intelligent is it to design something as useless as an appendix, to create a being that has sinus problems and allergies, and doesn't regenerate it's limbs when they're cut off. But I digress! The evidence for the Bible is more compelling than any other historical fact! There are over 300,000 parts of the OT and entire books that date back to 100 BC. I’m sure you don’t doubt the Homer wrote the Illiad, but there are only 86 copies of it dating to 1000 AD (he wrote it in 100 BC; so how do we really know what is in it? We have parts of the NT from 125 AD and whole copies of the Bible from around 325 AD. The lack of whole copies of the Bible before that are because of a Nazi-like strategy of the Roman empire to burn them! How typical! But we have 50,000 complete copies of the NT dating from 1000 BC. That evidence blows It doesn't matter how complete the bible is. It was still written by men, and you have zero proof of it being inspired by god. Especially when so much of it is so obviously made up. The sun standing still, noah's flood, the ten plagues of egypt... {b]guess we are nowhere near living 900 years now are we? Science has a long way to go to get to that stage now doesn’t it? Still we have people living on average 70 years as the Bible says. Some very fat and out of shape people live well into their 90’s and people with little body fat die in their 50’s. Can you explain that scientifically? [/b] Genetics explain things quite well. The bible continually states good people live longer, yet people like Charles Manson outlive people like the children murdered in Sandy Hook. You'd also have to prove anyone has actually ever lived to be 900 years old. There's zero evidence of it. It was the scientists that believe the earth was the center of the universe. Yet it was the book of Job, written around 1440 BC probably by Moses, and who lived hundreds of years before that during the time of the earliest humans told us that “God hung the earth in nothing.” Wow! Apparently people from the 4th century BC were much more knowledgeable and scientifically accurate than scientists from the dark ages! "“He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble.” Where are the pillars? "“The pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and he hath set the world upon them.”" Oh look a contradiction. “When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm.” There's pillars again. The Bible tells us that no one can know the future. Neither scientist nor Christians can know the near future. Only what God tells us in His word can reveal the future. Not science! It takes faith in God and His word to know this, not science! — Science can accurately predict the weather. The bible? Not so much. Jesus was supposed to return during the lifetime of his disciples. That didn't quite work out did it? RE: A Creationist answered 10 questions . . .
