For Christians (fundies lol), try answering this.?

Question

How did the whole earth flood back in Noah's days?
The fossil record supports billions of years, not 6000.
Can you prove the fossil record wrong?
Can you prove carbon/argon/potasssium dating wrong?
Can you prove the missing links wrong? Why do we have the Neaderthal man, homo erctus, and Lucy wrong?
Can you prove the Big Bang wrong?
Can you prove evolution as a whole wrong?
Don't give me some stupid website. Come up with your own explainations and support for once.

Answer 1

God's work. Don't rely on science for everything. The Bible isn't a science book

Answer 2

1. There is currently enough water on the earth to flood everything if all the mountains and hills were level. Oddly enough, scientists believe that Mars was once flooded and there is not a speck of water there - so much for consistent, rational science.

2. Fossils prove that there are fossils (I hope we can agree on that one). Man's dating systems have serious flaws.

3. Carbon dating has shown a hip of a mammoth at 67,000 years old and and a skull at 35,000 years old (the only problem was that it was of the SAME MAMMOTH). Go figure.

4. Lucy. Give me a break. You can't be serious. Please study your topic a little more. Missing links - according to evolution, the earth ought to be literally litered with millions of transitional fossils. Funny thing - not one exists.

5. Big Bang: Try "In the beginning, God."

6. Evolution: Have you heard of entropy? Have you heard of irreducable complexity? Evolution is a religious belief system. In 50 years the general public will wonder how people ever believed such an archaic belief that goes against everything we already currently know about empirical science.

Finally, please read up on information science and you may realize that you are not yet even asking the correct questions.

Scientists are fallible. Scientists have agendas. The lense that scientists interpret evidence through is often skewed by their philosophical belief systems.

Here is a "stupid" website for research (lol):

Answer 3

I'm only a kid...so I'm sorta confused by the first few....
I can prove the Big Bang wrong.
Take a pen apart, put all the pieces in a jar, and screw the lid back on tight. Shake for a while, and soon, the pieces will go back together into one pen... Impossible. Right? No matter how hard or long you shake, the pieces will NEVER form into the original pen. In this same way, there is no way that by random chance, all the separate stuff could form land, sea etc.
Evolution = take a look around. There's animals. Animals defy evolution. Some animals can't live with half of an immune system or else they would die. Evolution is a gradual and slow process right? Well, then, those animals would not exist today if evolution were real.

There. Happy?

Answer 4

*Disclaimer: I am by no means a definitive guide on this. I am a Christian, but if you would like to find out more I suggest googling AIG (Answers in Genesis), a research effort to support biblical claims using science.

Question #1. Why can't you believe the whole earth flooded back in Noah's day? In the Bible, the flood refers to a global flood, not the "localized" flood that is believed to have happened today. A global flood is consistent with the fossil record and what we find today- millions of dead things buried under layers and layers of deposit which would have been due to a global flood. Now for the means by which the whole earth flooded, that must have been due to God's power; if you have read Genesis, God said that He would no longer flood the Earth and the symbol of this covenant is the rainbow.

Question #2: The fossil record is not one-sided. It does not only point to the existence of life for billions of year, as commonly thought. Scientists have found evidence for "quick fossilization," where due to a natural disaster such as a volcanic eruption or large flooding, things can be solidified and fossilized in a matter of days or even shorter periods of time. Check the web for more information, as I am no expert on geology.

Question #3: Can you prove that carbon dating is correct? Although carbon dating can provide a guide for dating objects, it is by no means definitive. It has error in its estimate, sometimes up to or even more than 50,000 years (being conservative). Carbon dating relies on using the C-12 isotope and measuring its halflife due to its radiation emitted- how do we know that half-lifes are constant over billions and billions of years? We can't test this and be sure of it without error.

Question #4: I can't prove missing links wrong, but you must be aware that many of these "finds" that archaeologists have made are actually scams. Archaeologists often report the findings of monkey bones and other primates as actual homo sapien finds, which is incorrect. I am not quite sure of the examples you listed above, but I do know that a lot of scientific inaccuracy has resulted by the inaccurate recording of "human remains." (Sidenote: Is it possible that these "pre-humans" existed in the modern era (i.e. within the last 6,000 years?) What evidence is there that they lived so long ago?

Question #5: I cannot disprove the Big Bang, but then again, the Big Bang is only a theory. So therefore, you cannot prove the Big Bang either- you can have evidence, but as long as you were not alive at the creation of the universe, you cannot with absolute definity prove or disprove the Big Bang. Also, if you are a believer in the Big Bang, you must also have humanistic views that certain around the ultimate realities of chaos and disorder. For you, there is no underlying order to things for all things came out of nothing and was a result of chaos and disorder. Right? If this true, what is the purpose of your life? Why do you think you are here now? Is it all due to chance?

Question #6: I can't prove evolution as a whole as wrong, but I must first make the distinction between micro and macro evolution. It is not hard to believe that different organisms within a species can adapt to their environments differntly- we have scientific evidence of this occuring. However, to say that one species transformed into another species is a different thing. Can random chance processes result in the creation of an entirely new species? Can the intricacies of human life (i.e. eye optics, neuron transfer, etc.) be accounted for due to random chance? In my opinion, I support the Intelligent Design theory. (An analogy would be like leaving the pieces of a watch laying next to each other for a long period of time. Will these pieces assemble together to form the watch without outside aid?)

Hope you found these useful, or at least thought-provoking. I'll do some more research and get back to you, but you do raise some good questions.

Answer 5

Let's begin at your first question. How did the earth flood? Very simply put-it poured for 40 days and 40 nights and water came out of the ground kind of like geysers only the holes opened up and water flowed out at a continuous rate. Genesis 7:12 (New King James Version)
As to your second claim that the fossil record does not support billions of years, You will find that fossils that are supposed to be from one time period are mixed in with fossils from another time period in the wrong time layer. Also many cases of trees forming fossils stretching across two layers of rock. How, if it took years and years for these layers to form, did these trees not rot as is the tendency of dead things?
As to these missing links you mentioned, I have a question for you. How can you prove them right? The main problem with missing links is the death rate. Even if they did evolve from one species to another these transitional phases would not be able to live because they can not function as they would need to survive for the length of time it would take to reproduce a further mutated (and even more incapable of living) generation.

Next you speak of neanderthal man and so on. Most of these have been proved to be deliberate hoaxes.

As to the big bang, if you stick all the parts to a house in the most dense pile ever stacked and have a stick of dynamite in the center, when you lite the fuse and the dynamite explodes do all the right parts go where they are supposed to go and in the right order?

Evolution proves itself wrong-the different branches of evolution conclusively prove that the others are not possible.
Also ever heard of the laws of thermodynamics.

Answer 6

Noah - The earth was all one land mass and there was no rain until the flood.

Peleg - In his days the earth was divided.

A fossil is created when a live animal is trapped in sediment that then sets like cement..the animal decays and all that is left is an imprint. The fossil record merely shows that this has happened on a global level where animals in large groups even have been devistated by a sudden overflowing of earth and sediment. All that can be dated is the sediment..not the animal that created the fossil. There have been many fish fossils found for instance in the Grand Canyon showing that it was once under water and also in the Badlands of Wyoming. Anywhere there is oil undergrounds shows a mass devistation of a "herd" of animals or large animals in relation with Dinos...which could only occur with an instant covering over and decay beneath sediment.

As well, dust had to exist in order for there to be a thing such as "rain"...just to toss that in...in a newly settled earth billions of years ago there would be no rain..and in a billions of years old earth there would be too much. Its all cyclical..the rain can't exist without dust and dust would not settle on the earth without rain. The book of Job in the Bible explains alot of the geographical and biological instances...He was not a man of science..so how did he know?

Can you prove that these dating methods are accurate? How can we as humans date something that existed several thousand years before us and extend that date to billions of years using chemical compounds used today?

The so called "missing links" are not links or else they wouldnt' be missing..duh...and many of them have been proven frauds...artists renditions of these so called artistic discoveries were based off of bone fragments are purely fictitious...Pelt Down Man, Lucy, the "Neanderthal" man and many more..

Big Bang theory...in this event what is being said is that the earth was created with all its systems intact..such as the earths core, crust and atmosphere..along with other proportionate entities such as the moon and sun in exact distances to accidently produce the perfect scenario for life on this planet..not just any life but millions of species from the simple cell to the coral reefs and the Aspen system in Colorado.

Evolution? Try irreducible complexity..this is the factual evidence showing that each species can only go back so far before the reducing of it down to its simplest form renders it useless and unable to survive much less utilize the systems that supports it..ie; the bat using rador, the dophin using sonar, the plants using photosythasis, eyesight, smell, heat, rays and waves, etc.

So there ya go...

Answer 7

The world world flooded for 40 days and 40 nights. There was alot of water that covered the whole earth. Time does not exist as we know it. Many Christian scientist have proof regarding the carbon dating! There has never been a complete genetic link established between the the Neanderthal man and Adam and Eve(which includes us). There is still a missing link.!!! They have never come from our genetic line or direct link. I think, 7 days is a pretty big bang! WE are no more like apes than an alligator is a fish!

Answer 8

hahahaha

Evolutionists like to point to Pangaea, then ask questions like this. Do you not see the dichotomy that defines you?

As for Noah himself, he is supported in the fossil record. I won't bore you with a Web site but I watched a documentary on Discovery Channel that talked about it and showed evidence of a flood covering the entire Middle East at approximately the same time as Noah's flood is said to have happened. So as it turns out, the Biblical account of Noah & the flood is supported by the fossil record. You trust the fossil record to support your theories. Do you trust it to explain this? If not, why not?

Prove exactly what about the fossil record wrong? The fact that Chinese workers glued pieces of ancient fossil to a modern fossil and National Geographic reported it as the first known bird in the fossil record. Even after the hoax was revealed, National Geographic said they stood by their story. This is not a one-time thing. The recurrence of this sort of scam would shock most. How did they do this and not become a laughing stock? Are evolutionists blinded to facts that contradict their theories?

I can’t prove carbon dating wrong. Can you prove it right? Stalemate.

Missing links – there’s another place where evolutionists saw what they wanted, not what was there. Leakey found 3 teeth & a piece of a jawbone mixed with a number of orangutan bones. Even after the ape bones were confirmed to be ape & not human, Leakey commissioned an artist to draw the face of the Java Man based on 3 teeth & a piece of a jawbone. Even with our understanding of science today & the forensic methods available, can you even imagine a reputable police artist trying to draw the face of someone based on 3 teeth & a piece of a jawbone? And even if (s)he tried, would anyone believe it? Then why believe Leakey’s drawing?

Neanderthal, homo erectus, homo sapiens. Gorilla, orangutan, chimpanzee. Goldfish, trout, tuna. Chicken, ostrich, canary. Get my point?

Lucy – maybe she’s really Eve. She’s a homo sapiens.

I don’t need t prove the Big Bang wrong. I think it’s probable, although you may want to do your homework. The Big Bang is not nearly as scientifically accepted anymore as the String Theory. And the String Theory does so with the help of an imaginary number. Literally. I kid you not. It’s a number that doesn’t exist, but if it did, it would explain everything. I’ll try the String Theory when I write a $200,000 check next week. Well, if you would believe in my imaginary number that factors in and makes `$1000 = $200,000, the check would be good. Think it’ll work? I’ll even reference you & Dr. Hawking when I try it. Or not. Besides, the Big Bang has one huge fault. Evolutionists always as who created God. I ask, who created the gases that just magically existed since before the dawn of time – or materialized out of nothing. And you say it’s hard to believe in God. I don’t have enough faith to make the leaps that evolutionists do.

Proving evolution as a whole wrong is not necessary. Darwin’s “Origin of Species” states that we all share a common ancestor that randomly created a random amino acid from a mixture of hydrochloric acid, methane & ammonia. Yet it’s never been done in a lab, except for Miller. And his experiment was flawed because he added a catalyst. But according to Darwin, no catalyst was necessary. Also, scientists at Stanford created a mathematical model of doing this once. According to the model, it would take approx. 15 billions years for a single random occurrence. And even using the old earth standard of 4.5 billion years, that amount of time is more than 3 times as long. To do it twice was almost mathematically impossible. But somehow I am supposed to believe that it not only happened once, it continued to grow for no apparent or logical reason to create the entire universe and all its complexity today. That’s not even feasible when placed in any other model, but for some reason evolutionists cling to it as if it were their Unholy Grail.

Note that I didn’t come up with a stupid Website. Neither did I come up with a smart one. Why be bothered with facts, when you can “come up with your own explanations and support.” Why ddn’t I think of that? Why be held down by facts? I’ll just make up my own stories and tell everyone they’re facts. Yeah – that’s the ticket. On second thought, I think I’ll stick with facts.

And while I again say that I won’t bore you with a Web site, I will say that if you want to see others who agree with me and have more academic clout than I, try Googling the following:

Answer 9

Why is this 8 questions masquerading as one?

Your question is confrontational but not all Christians believe the world was created in 6000 years or any of that other junk. It ticks me off that a few extremists are assumed to speak for all Christians insisting that we believe in pseudoscience, spurious research and a doggedly literal interpretation of the Bible.

I know you said no websites but check out www.reasons.org. It's a group of Christians who are also PhD scientists offering their support FOR evolution and the big bang, etc. I think you'll find it enlightening.

And by the way, some secular astronomists have been trying to dodge the Big Bang for YEARS because it can be seen to support the Bible (creation ex nihilo).

Answer 10

To those who answer these were not proven right...carbon dating is well proven and well accepted method of detecting the age of carbon based object. It has been determine and accepted that carbon atoms naturally decay at a constant rate. Therefore by determining the amout of decay that has occured in an object you can determine its age.

Something to add....the gentleman above stating that evaloution at best is small gentic defects. Ok, so you have accepted the principle of evaloution. That is what it is. Its genetic defected developed in an organism from generation to generation over billions of years. These organism's defect come about out of need to adapt to a enviroment or situation. If evolution was not true then why would you need a new flu shot every year. You need one because the flu virus "evolves" or mutates. Look at the Gingko tree. Oldest tree known to man. The gingko is impervious to almost all insects and diseases. This could not have happended without out evolution.

Ok...another addition...someone asked how the people that have proven all these correct. Well, its called "scientific method"...google and read.

Answer 11

Can you prove that what the bible teaches is wrong? No, you can't and neither can any of the scientist you may try to quote. Maybe the problem is YOU are not thinking for yourself. You have been taught to believe in evolution. You did not come up with the idea of evolution or the big bang. And yest carbon/argon/potassium dating can be proven wrong. You are then one that needs to do more research. Stop trying to argue with Christians. You are really arguing with God, who is the One who had the Bible written.
