No, he's been here for over a year, he has been consistently exactly this stupid, obstinate, and cantankerous. One supposeS that if person could have been helped, he would not have either become a Calvinist or an YEC in the first place.

How do you know they are fossilized bones? Have you even observed the fossilization process to even take place in nature?

Then how come when I ask for “proof” you keep resorting back to science? I want proof.

This is just an argument from improbability, when I make those on here I get chastised for it.

Begging the question, you used “I” in your premise which is the very thing you are trying to prove exists.

Ok, so he believes Dinosaurs and humans lived during the same time period, how does that demonstrate he believes the Flintstones is a documentary again? I believe gorillas and humans live at the same time period, that doesn’t mean I believe “Congo” is a documentary though, get real.

Funniest thing is that during that year you have endlessly wasted your time posting in threads I post in telling people not to waste their time posting in threads I post in.

Care to repeat some "creation science" for me then Statler? BTW, regarding Kent Hovind and your little bullshit defense, let me show you what demonstrates that he subscribes to the "Flintstones as Documentary" school of thought....

Anytime you'd like to stop pretending that you're even capable of intelligent thought or research on any topic whatsoever, you just go ahead and say so.

Repeat......creation...science. Take your pick, repeat the "experiment", and report your findings, to us, or a peer reviewed journal, whichever you like. I would ask you a question if I had any confidence that you had an answer. I don't.
Did you have anything to say about the Creation Museum btw? Any comment you'd like to retract?

So you are admitting that both Creation and Evolution are empirically unscientific because they are not based on direct observation or repeatability? This could be a major step for you in your progression.

What was that about the creation museum, Kent Hovind, and some comment you may have made? Tired of you shitting on the boards and then moving on like no one will look behind the curtain.
Here, lemme get you started.
"I stand corrected, Kent Hovind appears to be a complete fucking moron and this "museum" is a joke. I can't believe that anyone would represent christianity and creation science to the world in such an idiotic way. I was wrong for insinuating that people were smearing his name by making baseless accusations. The gentleman who made the reference to him believing that the Flintstones was a documentary was absolutely correct."
