Any faith that cannot stand scrutiny in the form of questions, mocking, sarcasm, and debate is not worth having. Stop complaining and grow a set of ..............skills.

There is a wide misconception that those who believed in the Bible in earlier times thought the world was flat. According to a book on the subject only a couple of odd ball clerics did everyone else did not. This changed in England as a response to modern science and the book even credits a single reverend for it. Don't remember the author but think the title is history of the flat earth.

I am looking forward to when a full study is written up and published for the layperson, those of us interested in the findings by those who actually studied the fossils and caves not by Ken Hamm who can explain it away without any data. Sorry but the writings I have read by creationist are so easily dismissed by most people with a little understanding of science.

I do find archaeology fascinating. I admire those that had the stamina to earn the degrees necessary for such work.

Mocking and sarcasm is disrespectful and has no place in the discussion. If your position needs such tactics to prop it up then you are the one lacking faith.
