NO! NOT ME!!
That guy who wrote a book called Answers in Genesis is doing a chat on washingtonpost.com right now! It may have some comic value.
Well it’s over, and not one new question or answer therein.
The questions selected weren’t the greatest that could be asked, but he seems to be bunting on most of them, refering people to other names rather than try to explain any of this creationism or why evolution is flawed.
There’s no more use of this thread. I’m sorry i couldn’t direct you to this earlier.
Anyway, he did hawk a website which I may have to check out (AnswersinGenesis.org), though I’m probably going to disappointed, too.
Oh, it’s a ministry! That explains a hell of a lot now!
I asked a couple of questions, but he chose not to address them.
There are buildings in Egypt older than the whole universe. Chronology is a glaring weakness in their arguments. The rest is pretty weak also.
This last question was dodged so poorly I had to point it out. Uh, “Doc,” humans and dinosaurs are not even found in the same substratum level, ever. Unless there is clear evidence of mixing due to earthquake or other activity, they never come anywhere near each other in space, which in this case equals time. Yeesh, what a willfully blinded fool. See sig.
Yeah, you say that, but we know he was from AiG. Ergo, he really gave you answers, and just made you swear never to reveal that he had given them to you.

thank God for creationists. Without them, who would I have to feel intellectually superior to?

Beagle quoted the AnswersInGenesis guy, who tried to answer why it is human and dinosaur remains are never found together:
This sounds vaguely similar to the “hydrological sorting” argument put forth by some so-called Creation scientists. Dinosaur bones are big, so they sank to the bottom during the Noachian Flood, whereas human bones are smaller, so they floated to the top.
Ignoring for the moment that bone size does NOT determine bone buoyancy, this argument does nothing to explain how these bones managed to fossilize in the short time span that has elapsed since Noah’s Flood. (As far as I know, 5000-6000 years is not enough time for fossils to form.)
Not to mention that hydrological sorting doesn’t explain at all why the fossil record shows the evolution of flowering plants during the Cretaceous period. What, did flowering plants have a greater ability to escape flood waters??
Nor does hydrological sorting acknowledge that, for any equivalent bone size, dinosaur bones would have been lighter than those of humans.
