Questions about Evolutionism vs. Creationsim

RE: Questions about Evolutionism vs. Creationsim
I think a potential class project would be to get maybe 5 of them to sign up for a group discussion. Maybe extra credit. They might feel more safe in mass (not a catholic pun). (yeah I know I spelled it wrong)

Hey Melf, run it by the prof and let us know.

I never answer these things or engage in discussions with true believers in order to convince them, but rather for any lurker or guest on the fence.

Man, get a load of those fools.

That's what I'm starting to think about these posts, too. I'm not on an atheist site to be some random theist's lab rat. Don't just poll us about our thoughts on your classwork and then disappear. Come and have a real conversation with us instead.

Actually, I would like to have a real conversation with you.

Could you explain with some more detail why the earth is billions of years old, and why radiometric dating proves that age? And why remainders of retroviruses prove our relationship to apes? Feel free to throw all the scientific terms at me that you wish, and I'll do my best to understand them.

Yeah, that will be impressive no doubt. But don't you find the common features of our anatomy entirely convincing?

Human chromosome 2
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

2. Billions of years, according to radiometric dating and other evidences.

3. Of course we do. The evidence is fairly indisputable.

4. No, Adam was not a historical figure. He's a metaphor in a mythical tale.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

1. 24 hours or just nonexistent, if you believe it's a fake story?

2. Could you describe what radiometric dating was used as proof? I've been able to study it somewhat, and when measuring the half-lives of different substances, we find different results. Which specific elements were you referring to? And what other evidences?

3. The evidence is indisputable. Which evidence? Transitional fossils or something else?

4. How do you know he is a myth?

Could you explain to me why you didn't go to a scientific source to find the answers to these questions? This is an atheist website. The general idea here is that we don't believe in gods. You don't need to be a scientist to come to that stance (I'm more of an artist by the way). If you are honestly interested in scientific findings, I can't fathom why you would come here first.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
