Answers In Genesis is certainly NOT a source to use if one is looking for truth or fact based reasoning.

This cant be repeated enough. I used to engage in evolution debates before I realized facts just bounce off the heads of creationists , and I would take the time to go and read the links there , AND research the writers of the articles. All of the links concerned trying to rebut evolutionary biology by creation "experts" , and researching these experts credentials you would find a guy with a bachelor degree in mechanical engineering, another was a pharmacy tech, another would be a civil engineer, if they even had a degree in anything. The most hilarious one was a kid, touted as an expert in evolutionary biology, who was a sophomore in college and in his 2nd year of college level biology .


In the creationist world, apparently having a degree in anything, even sanitation engineering, makes one an expert on evolution. In fact, just being IN college seems to be enough to qualify one as an expert with AiG.

Really?

Your previous posts shows you are a proponent of evolution.

So, show us evidence that Genesis is false. AND, show us evidence that Evolution is true.

Now, if you want to be honest and give us a Your truthful opinion, tell us your reason why you think Genesis is false and Evolution is true and not something you find in google search

How do you explane this?

More than 99 percent of all species, amounting to over five billion species,[1] that ever lived on Earth are estimated to be extinct.[2][3][4] Estimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million,[5] of which about 1.2 million have been documented and over 86 percent have not yet been described.[6] More recently, in May 2016, scientists reported that 1 trillion species are estimated to be on Earth currently with only one-thousandth of one percent described

Why would your god create then destroy 99% of everything it created?

To have a sensible conversation, one must first find a sensible person with whom to have it.

Anyone who gets their "facts" from Answers In Genesis does not qualify.

The appellate judges ruled the atheists’ challenge “fails on the merits,” ruling that the “stated purpose of displaying The Cross at Ground Zero to tell the story of how some people used faith to cope with the tragedy is genuine, and an objective observer would understand the purpose of the display to be secular.”

After the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) discovered that the “Come and Take It Flag” – donning a Christian cross that was flown during the Texas Revolution – was hanging from a flagpole at LaPoynor High School, it ordered the school district to remove it.

Outsmarted by students
This move only motivated students to fly the flag all the more, as they moved it right in front of their high school – just outside of the campus boundaries.
So the definition of "the public square" means "a space paid for by the taxpayers"? Glad we got that cleared up.

Genesis makes no effin' sense, even internally. Plants before the Sun, come on. (Yeahyeahyeah, God said "Let there be light" on day one and then had to go back and fiddle. Bad project management.)

Bless their hearts, the self-named Institute for Creation Research actually tried to sponsor scholarships in biology for some of their fervent young believers. Turned out that when faced with actual science, most of the bright young minds realized that they'd been duped and gave up on creationism, quite embarrassing.
