Steverino,
I accept dating methods that are corroberated by verifiable history, like dating the mummies. So radiocarbon is fairly reliable with in limits. That is surprising the RATE team found traces of carbon14 in samples of coal and diamonds when the smaples were supposed to be too old to have any C14. I could point you to sources, but it is of no use as you will have your papers on your sides.
To the others : (oldman, yours is at the end)
I recommend this website, wihch I am sure most of you already know : http://www.evolutionnews.org/.
If you claim that Answers In Genesis will not deal with your issues, then research the articles dealing with "tree of life" or "molecular evolution" or "isochrons" or "debate details" and ask them what is their interpretation of the evidence. I am e-mailing them to be expecting will researched questions showing where their interps are wrong and why.
I don't see how it does not follow regarding the death question. If we are just animals, then what is the reason to not behave like animals? If at the end of how ever many billion years of universe existence it all ends up as unversal heat death, the what's the point? Why will anything matter? Who cares? All the selfish genes will be kaput and that's all she wrote.
I do not believe in the spontaneous generation of life, where as most of you do. I do not accept that specified complexity, as found in DNA and sentences like this can self generate unless there is an intelligence behind them. I do not accept that mutations of brain cell DNA can result in a creature knowing what to do with structures that have happened to have "evolved" at the same time by coincidence.
How about this...if I am wrong and you are right, then it does not matter a whit, or I may come back as a snail, or whatever. But if I am right and you are wrong, I, as a believer in Jesus being the only way to the Father (as He claimed He was), will get heaven and the rest of you who do not believe will not be allowed in.
This is my ultimate bottom line. I apologize that I don't have the explanations for your interpretations of the evidence. As the servant said in R & J in Act I, "I must to the learned!" There are explanations out there. Junk DNA has been found to be not so. Fossils have been found out of evolutionary sequence. (Pine pollen in lower layers of the Grand Canyon ala Dr. Clifford Burdick who was an evo who switched due to the evidence to a creationist.)
Oldmanintheskydidntdoit,
Amongst all the others I have put you on my prayer list. Others on this list will probably chide you and mock me in the process. I expect this. I still don't know why you accept Dawkins answer to the genome question when he never really answered it.
If the only objection you have to God's Word being what it claims to be is the Tyre issue, then consider that names for things are different than what we say. Jesus said behold my hands, when the Romans put the nails through His wrists. But in those day, it was considered the hand. So Tyre as the island city (think wrist) is no more and cannot be rebuilt as it is underwater, so the prophecy came true. If you find a way to get a hold of me outside of this thread, I give you the option to do so.
In Him,
Chris
