Are there any YECs in the house here?

BBQadon.

I like you raw.

I would never leave the kids, they're too handy as a distraction.

It is strange that YECs here never go deeper and tell us why is there a world wide "deception" of teaching people this of biological evolution. I mean how can something so obviously "false" be accepted by so many people if not even a majority? What could hold such "negative" power?

Nevertheless I scooped trough some Christian book preview on Amazon on flat Earth and he pretty much rolls out the pains YECs on this forum feel but don't want to say out loud - you see what word you can switch with "evolution" to see that it comes to the same thing, although he also rails against evolution

I love it whenever I hear atheists speak of alt.atheism. Usenet - The frontier days of the internet! I wonder how many people here were not even born when usenet was in its heyday. I kind of miss those days because everyone on the net back then was computer-savvy. There was none of the Facebook crowd.

Heh, I had usenet delivered via uucp on dialup back in the early 90's.

Then came AOL and Endless September and I bailed on it.

I used to use a dial-up 300-baud modem on a Radio Shack computer in the early 80s, but I digress. But, this thread is starting to go off the rails anyways.

The term creation scientist is an oxymoron .They may have credentials in science but they do not act like scientists .

If there is a true scientist who is also a creationist, they are likely thinking (or, even being led by) their wiener.

They may act like scientists, but does not deal creditably with the relevant fields in science.

There is a subtle distinction between those who only practice certain crafts associated with science, and in some cases very proficiently, thus achieve creditable scientific results, and those who does not pick and chose when to practice the craft of science to get grants and when to practice the art of wishthinking when it feels comfortable.

I consider their their inconsistency in that regard  unscientific

That's a "Yes," then?

It's neither. It's acknowledgement that such a theory exists, but I do call into question the accelerated evolutionary timeline needed for the next period to be on time. Meaning more animals survived the Kt event that what was estimated. which means animals thought lost at a moment in time may have carried on 100's of thousands of years longer than predicted.

I am also saying that there are other theories scientific in nature that do a lot better job explaining the fossil record than darwinism.
