Should I challenge the troll with facts from Africa like the Victoria Waterfalls (>100,000 years old), the oldest active cave formation Sudwala caves (>1.8Billion years old and still making those spiky things), the second oldest active cave formation Cango (>1.5Billion years old)

Of course the honorable douche-bag Kent Hovind has not been to Africa and has not refutation for the scientific claims.

Should I? Should I?

Naah waste of time, I will simply agree with him

Never mind that real people in the here and now benefit greatly by convincing you to jump through their flaming hoops,not to mention reaching into your pocketbook when it suits them ...

To me - it basically sounds like you are saying - water is made up of atoms. I can't see the atoms therefore water does not exist.
How many Hydrogen atoms could you fit into this <.> period. How many atoms could you fit into their void of "nothing." I'm not hiding the question here.

I am a part of no organizational church to receive donations for their larger synagogues. Assumption of who I am, and you have no clue. I have financially supported groups in which I support (based upon my knowledge of what they do.) Who has define "Real People" for you?

I don't know - I'm not a scientist. My guess would be a heck of a lot of hydrogen atoms. Are you saying that science isn't true because you can't understand how small things can be?

And show me the evidence these are as old as you say they are. Radioactive carbon dating is only useful for a couple thousand years. The older the time is, the less and noneffective it becomes. So show me some evidence, not just "Dr. Seuss at University __________ funded by government _________ said so."

Hmm 2011 - 1993 = 18

Yup an 18 yo homeschooled no doubt has far more infinite wisdom than say 100 years of self correcting science.

Oh if you want to prove Hydrogen exists, I can set you up in a dark container full of it with breathing apparatus and a BIC lighter, just a flick and you will be really convinced.

Do you think this universe could have fit in that dot? Time to start reading the Bible - a creation account that has historical, archeological evidence. A theory that doesn't defy the laws of physics.

The bible DOES defy the laws of physics, far worse than your assumption the universe can't be compressed into a dot...

The more you say the more you reveal your ignorance. Carbon dating is used on organic (as in once alive) material only. And I think you made up that silly 2000 year figure.

The internet is full of evidence regarding evolution and the age of the earth.
Perhaps the subject is too complicated for you to understand. Is that why you haven't done your homework?
