The Grasp of Time

Not surprisingly, many people refuse to absorb it. Nearly every attack on evolution - whether it is called intelligent design or plain creationism, synonyms for the same faith-based rejection of evolution - ultimately requires a foreshortening of cosmological, geological and biological time.


Writes Verlyn Klinkenborg today. Certainly true. They refuse to and so opt for a simple children's bedtime story instead of wrapping their brains around the evidence of biological history. Don't follow such people anywhere. They're ditch-diving into the sands of time with their eyes, ears and minds slammed shut. Buried alive.

John is crazy, so no more need be said. He thinks the Israelites lived with dinosaurs.

Mitchell I don't have the time to read this right now but it sure isn't a John Locke relative on first glance. There are no significant gaps in evolutionary theory. Read that fact in science. There just aren't any and fantasy can't supplant reality. You're nuts if you think so. I'll read it and disect it later. Thanks for posting.

The Locke review is so fallacious as to be completely invalid factually as to what evolution is. He;s hanging his hat on misrepresentation and extrapolating the gaps in the fossil record. This tactic is as old as the hills. Transitional forms are everywhere, but every single one isn't, or needs to be. In science it's the preponderance of the evidence that fortifies a theory. In this record evolution is as solid as the day it was published and more.

There is no disagreement. You are flat-out wrong, but too dumb to see it. There simply is no time for anyone this stupid and duped. Thanks for illustrating my point to perfection John.

Ad Ignorantiam but with a complete lie for support. There is no creation science. It's a political ploy for the ignorant. Advertise somewhere else. You lose.

Anonymous trolls with agendas, false ones, are the bane of Internet discussion. They're cowards and charlatans by nature.

Religion is the opiate of the masses. I understand your numbness and need for a cozy bedtime story, but it just isn't true: it's fictional complete with a magical land where you will supposedly live forever.

Science can't answer your ultimate question, and doesn't even attempt to. You're having a one-sided argument.

And John click on the sitemeter. There's more than four.

"Mark, I believe God created the world in six 24 hour periods."

I rest my case. So there's one in every time zone? Yeah right. Easy indeed.

John it's hard for four people to be in all of these places at once. Easy? Yeah you sure are.
