A few weeks ago, I was climbing a mountain with some friends. We made a stop to eat and rest. I looked over to the side and on the ground I found a nice watch. It was showing the current time and date. I started to wonder how it got there, and came to the logical conclusion that the rocks, wind, rain and other natural elements joined and, after thousands of years, formed the watch. My friends think I'm nuts. How can I convince them?

I live in Florida and from what I understand the water table is on average about 6' below ground level. All of the housing communities, golf courses, etc. have these man-made ponds all over the place. The developers dig down 6-8 feet until they hit water and then charge a premium for what's now "water view" or "water front" property. They also use that excavated soil for fill. Well, after about two years or so ALL of these man-made ponds are teeming with fish...mostly bass. Everyone assumes that the developers are stocking the ponds but I know for a fact they are not. So where do they come from?
I think birds are responsible but not sure. Does anybody know for sure?? any other theories?? Thanks in advance.

In "Teaching Creation Science in Public Schools," Duane Gish suggests Creationist alternatives to radiometric dating, specifically those taking into account:"the amount of helium in the earth's atmosphere produced by radioactive decay of uranium and thorium, the decay of the earth's magnetic field, the pressure of oil in petroleum deposits, the presence in rocks of pleochroic haloes of very short-lived radioisotopes, the rate of cooling of the earth (taking into account heat produced by the decay of radioactive substances), the Poynting-Robertson effect, the lifetime of comets, and the time required for clusters of galaxies to disperse."

Are these factors really being ignored by Evolutionists?
And if so, why doesn't anyone make instruments taking these factors into account?
Would they really register significantly different results?

I also had a similar one 2 months prior to the Northridge quake. I wrote a letter to the Times, and they later mentioned it in an article about psychic tools of predicting earthquakes.

This recent dream was much more devastating, and I've again sent a detailed letter, (Registered), to the Mayor's Office.

The 4 page missive and a copy of the Times article and letter (Northridge) will be sold on eBay Thanksgiving Day, with full proceeds to be given to the Red Cross, Los Angeles Chapter.

Those living in or near the Riverside epicenter should go to Las Vegas before it hits.

It eclipses all US quakes ever recorded.

I have some FACTS Physical, Scientific, and obserable, for you.
First the facts :: For the formation - creation of petrolium / oil / natural gas / methane/ coal and the family of hydrocarbons, there must be a large amount of vegetive growth (plant life), temperate climate conditions, rain fall in abundance, certain types of bacteria, time, and the sealing of the surface / some compression.
With this in mind :: How come there is oil / petrolium / hydrocarbons, under the North Polar Ice Cap i.e. Prudhole Bay, under the middle east's desert (Iraq, Iran, Saude Arabia, etc.) West Texas, Wyoming, Colorado, Canada, Off Shore(both east and west coasts), Under the Gulf of Mexico, Under Siberia, Russia?????
Do you say that the earth / global warming is NOT a normal cyclic condition? Do you say that the earth has had a stable temperature, since it's formation 4.5 BILLION years ago,and
geologists established 70 years ago, that the earth was over 2,000 DEGREES F*?400,000 years ago, USA was ice
