and plants millions of years ago?
I mean, they think the world is like 6000 years old.

"At Oak Ridge Nat'l Labs, they tried carbon dating dinosaur bones.....they turned out to be thousands of years old, NOT millions. But because that didn't agree with science's preconceived notions, they tossed their results."
Sigh, IF you knew anything about carbon dating, you would know that it can only date things up until 50,000 years. Not 65 million years ago when the last dinosaurs lived.

They fought against Galileo for contradicting the Bible when he revealed the Earth was NOT the center of the universe or standing on Pillars--they lost--& with the overwhelming & growing evidence of evolution they will again lose.--You can only deny facts for a limited time.

No, because I don't dispute that there are fossils, and that the animals which created them actually lived.
I DO, however, dispute evolution and science's ability to date fossils.
"The troubles of the radiocarbon dating method are undeniably deep and serious. Despite 35 years of technological refinement and better understanding, the underlying assumptions have been strongly challenged, and warnings are out that radiocarbon may soon find itself in a crisis situation. Continuing use of the method depends on a fix-it-as-we-go approach, allowing for contamination here, fractionation there, and calibration whenever possible. It should be no surprise then, that fully half of the dates are rejected. The wonder is, surely, that the remaining half has come to be accepted…. No matter how useful it is, though, the radiocarbon method is still not capable of yielding accurate and reliable results. There are gross discrepancies, the chronology is uneven and relative, and the accepted dates are actually the selected dates.” (Dr. Robert Lee, Anthropological Journal of Canada)
At Oak Ridge Nat'l Labs, they tried carbon dating dinosaur bones.....they turned out to be thousands of years old, NOT millions. But because that didn't agree with science's preconceived notions, they tossed their results.
Then they tried some other methods....and again, results that didn't agree with the "accepted" notions. So again, they toss the results.
Twisting results to fit your ideas isn't science. It's magic.

Are none believers being hypocritical when they claim to do 'good' based on the standards of what good is. Who told you what good was? What good is there when it's based upon anything other than the standard of the God you don't believe in? Who's standards can you base the good of humanity on when it's all about survival of the fittest and we're merely animals? Animals don't have morals, though. So, you make no sense to me either. You can't measure character when you have no moral yardstick to base it upon.
And our debate isn't about when fossil fuel producing animals lived. We know they were here as well as you do. But were any of you there to determine when they were here? No. Actually then your question is based solely on assumption and lands flat on its face. You are left with nothing more than the fairy tale assumption you claim Creation to be. Projections do not provide facts.

Theoretically dinosaurs died of organic motives. somebody killed an alligator to make alligator footwear and engaging alligator roasts. the definition of veganism: To exclude to date as is obtainable and useful, all varieties of exploitation of animals for foodstuff, clothing or the different purpose. identifying on up a pile of animal poo to fling at a troll--Vegan! Yay!

Or when fundamentalists bash science while actually relying on science from medicine to computers in their everyday lives...
That is the height of hypocrisy.

Obviously, they don't believe that the fuel they are using comes from ancient living animals or plants living millions of years ago. As you say, they think the world is like 6000 years old.
Does it really matter? Their paying just as much for a tankful as you are...

But you assume based on the THEORY of evolution that these things are millions of years old. Apples in a basket are there to eat by anyone. Whether or not those people believe that those apples evolved in that box from grapes that used to be there, or whether someone believes they were picked off a tree.

According to Creationists (and I do not agree with them) all of the fossils were laid down in layers from Noah's Flood, and these layers are not all that ancient. Really weird stuff, don'tcha think?

Yes, they are. What else is new about creationist hypocrisy?
To the offended one below, his question clearly says "Creationists". And if you think they're a minority, check your state assembly to see how legislators annually try to sneak creationism into schools.
Just waiting around to be offended, are we? Why don't you join the fight against creationists instead of whining?
