I like your final quote. It’s enjoyably thought-provoking.

The rest of your comment is tripe and again, as in your comment above, shows that despite all your arrogant bluster, you have precious little understanding of evolution.

It’s one thing to be doubtful of evolution when you understand that you lack information. It’s another thing entirely when, as in your case, you doubt evolution due to a lack of information, but act as though you have a firm grasp on the material.

Followers of fashion? Evolution propaganda? Macro evolution is a joke? Nonsense that the Earth is billiosn of years old? The Earth is fragile? It takes more faith to believe in macro evolution? Do not kid yourselves that evolution is a science?

I’m not sure how many more creationist cliches and non-sequitars you can actually fit in one comment.

The only worthwhile part of your comment was your question about why there are creatures that have remained unchanged for long periods of time… and having to ask that question shows that you have a poor understanding of evolution… at least poor enough that you have disposed of any credibility that I may have accorded you out of courtesy.

And by the way, I live in the UK very close to the Site of special interest “THE WRENS NEST” which is full of trilobites. I have a curled up one in my collection. What exactly has that got to do with anything? The woodlice in my garden are not much different and the ceolocanth (scientists have always been bad at spelling) fish was supposed to be millions of years old but this fish still lives in the Phillipines.What about the creatures at the bottom of our oceans; you really believe they have been reproducing for millions of years. Some of the students in my class have a better perspective on this than the befuddled, tired, old, atheistic, evolution promoting brains. Why don’t you get some brains, do some study and actually do your own research, instead of regurgitating so called modern ideas and the fiction of famous evolutionists who are not even proper scientists. De evolution and destruction yes I believe in that. Everywhere man goes he causes mayhem. Along with my friend Pepo, boat driver on the Vancouver Island, in Tofino one of the last beautiful untouched places in the world; “The most stupid animal on the planet is man. He kills life and destroys habitats knowing full well he will end up killing himself but he continues to do it!” Peace.

Come on, get real folks! Are evolutionists really scientists or just followers of fashion? Try and at least step out of the box a little. Why are most of the people submitting comments on here pro-evolution. For the same reason they claim the christians are pro-creation. They have not really studied properly; they just accept the evolution propoganda. How come there are creatures on this planet which have remained unchanged for long periods of time. Macro evolution is a joke. The only way evolutionists have any chance of gaining credibility for their poor science is to believe the nonsense that the earth is billions of years old. Come on, have you seen the earth from the moon? Do you know how fragile it is? Just a speck of dust in an abyss of space. It takes a lot more faith to believe in macro evolution than it does to believe in a creator so I take my hats off to you. But do not kid yourselves that evolution is a science. I have advanced biology qualification and I’ve spent a little time studying the hype. Too many sheep in this world; not enough pioneers!

Notice how it’s always dinosaurs, and never trilobites or any other long-extinct life forms. They don’t have to account for all the evidence, just the evidence someone with an 8th grade education would be familiar with.

(Although I learned about trilobites in 6th grade, I imagine many Americans don’t.)

Not even that; I’m a bit older than that. No, what I was told, in the 1940s, was that the only true fossil dinosaurs were big lizards, and that the huge ones were just hoaxes built by godless evolutionists, made out of a few bones and a lot of plaster of Paris.

I paid attention as a kid, and I have an excellent memory. It’s amazing how little of the “Faith of our Fathers” made it down through the decades to today’s Christianity, even among the inerrantists.

Wow! So you were raised in the “dinosaur fossils were put here to test our faith” camp, huh?

I guess there are multiple ways of being literal. Heh.

“The idea of dinosaurs living at the same time as humans is presented, even emphasized, throughout the museum’s exhibits. A literal reading of Genesis demands it and the Creation Museum revels in it, as Craig and I were about to find out.”

When I was a child growing up in a Christian fundamentalist home, long, long ago, I was taught that there were no dinosaurs; that they were all hoaxes, bones of other animals put together and rearranged to look like dinos. My church and family’s literal reading of Genesis demanded that.

I guess when there is too much contradictory evidence to continue with one “literal reading”, another “literal reading” is adopted.
