Hehe, I'm aware Chuck, I'm just wondering why I shouldn't interpret the claim GC made as some sort of master race bullshit by an ethnic supremecist. I can't tell how a "pure gene pool" differs from the notion of a "master race".
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Because you are bigoted towards christians.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Now that's disturbingly revealing, in context.
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.'

It's a plausible idea if you know nothing whatsoever about geology and continental drift. That's convenient for you.

No, we're bigoted against people who make wide-reaching claims about science and can't back them up.

I do believe that the world could be 50,000 years old, we do have a dating system that is accurate to that age. Even at 50,000 years from a biblical standpoint of creation the gene pool would be pure and there would not have been enough time to completely ruin it. Actually I do believe that between the time Adam brought sin into the world and the flood were some 1700 years, this small amount of time would not have had much effect on a pure gene pool. Of course these are my beliefs and because my profession is not science I can not prove it, I do see it to be a plausible idea.
Flood? What flood? I'm a geologist, and I have never seen ANY evidence of a global flood, anywhere on this planet. End of story. Where did the water come from? Where did it go? What geologic is evidence is there that one occurred? How is the notion of a sudden global flood reconciled with the laws of thermodynamics?
We have direct methods of dating that go back substantially further than 50,000 years. But I guess you can't have that so you ignore them, right?

Unfortunately for this theory, the age of the drifing can be measured by the magnetic alignment of the rocks. with polar orientation shifting and marking the eras within the rock when they cool enough. So you can see the eons as strips in the ocean floor when measured with magnetic sensitive equipment.

another clue to the vast age of the earth is vulcanism.
Quote:
In Iceland, sub-sea volcanism interacts with the hot mantle plume, creating the incredibly volcanic island that we know today. And what of the ancient volcanoes, which formed 60 million years ago when the mantle plume first reached the Earth’s surface?
Well, their remains are perfectly preserved in the British Isles today — they form the islands of Rum, Skye, Mull and Arran in Scotland, Lundy Island in England, and the Mourne Mountains of Northern Ireland.
These ancient volcanoes have been eroded away over the millions of years since they ceased to be active, so that now we can see the cold remains of the magma chambers — the furnaces of the volcano.
Geologists and volcanologists study these ancient British volcanoes, and they provide vital information about what might be happening at depth beneath active Icelandic volcanoes.
they know that these islands were formed by the same magma plume as the ones in iceland because each plume has a unique mineral and chemical composition a sort of signature.
These islands have also eroded away from the giant volcanoes that they were, leaving just the core, again a process that takes eons.
50.000 years pah, a blink of an eye in geological terms.
