Why is it that our greatest minds today, in the field, have no idea how to combine iron and chlorine? And yet, Dr. Carl Baugh, Creation Evidence Muesem in Texas, and his colleages have discoverd a hammer in the same fossil layer with dinosaur fossils. This hammer has a wedge in it to keep the head of the hammer attached to it's handle. What is most mind-boggling about this hammer is that it's iron and chlorine combined. They had the knowledge to combine iron and chlorine. Why don't we?

"Why is it that our greatest minds today, in the field, have no idea how to combine iron and chlorine?"
I'm not a chemist or metallurgist so I can't say if it's even possible, but assuming it is I'd have to ask: why would you want to?
"And yet, Dr. Carl Baugh, Creation Evidence Muesem in Texas, ..."
Would this "Dr." be a "Dr." of the same ilk as Dr. Dino?
"... and his colleages have discoverd a hammer in the same fossil layer with dinosaur fossils."
Of course he has. Did it by any chance have an inscription on the handle that said something to the effect of "If found, please return to Fred Flintstone."
"This hammer has a wedge in it to keep the head of the hammer attached to it's handle."
Simply mind-boggling! Such advanced technology must have been applied to create such an object.
Really though, why even mention this? Is it supposed to impress somehow?
"What is most mind-boggling about this hammer is that it's iron and chlorine combined. They had the knowledge to combine iron and chlorine. Why don't we?"
I would say that, supposing your "hammer" exists in the first place and is, indeed, composed of iron and chlorine, it's probably a natural process that produced the combination and therefor there was no "they" that had the knowledge to combine iron and chlorine.
Iron and Chlorine can't be mixed? Chlorine, which is one of the most active gases we have, can easily combine with iron. What does it mean to combine with Iron? Combine? You mean to create a compound? You mean like Iron Chloride, usually called Ferric Chloride, which has one atom of Iron combined with three atoms of Chlorine [made by passing Chlorine gas over iron filings]? Only one of the many examples. Is that OK? Is that enough? Does that then mean that this guy is talking you know what? Does this mean that God combined this Iron and Chlorine? Does this mean that this Ferrous Chloride hammer [laughable in itself] was used to hit this dinosaur on the head? [Sounds like a good plan to me.]Has this now proved that the big bang was a load of twaddle and that God really did create the universe. ha ha ha...yeah right.
Just to tell you all. Dr. Dino has been in trouble for tax evasion. He tried to file bankruptcy to avoid paying his income tax and had written a letter stating that social security is a Ponzi scheme, the United States is a bankrupt corporate government, revoked his U.S. citizenship, refered to the state of Florida as the State of Florida body politic corporation, and this was all when he and his wife tried to avoid paying debts and taxes. Also his doctorate is in Christian Education. You can find more on him by looking on Wikipedia, this guy is really funny though. I'm also wondering if this guy belongs in CTSTDT given his stance on Vaccination and Cancer and UFO's. Also check out kent-hovind.com
Okey-dokey, doki-doki,
It actually occurs regularly in nature (although usually in those satan-spawned rocks that are more than 6,000 years old.
i.e Douglasite, Lawrencite, Molysite.
Possible award - "Outstanding Achievement in the Area of Ignorance"?
FSTDS has been a daily source of entertainment for me for over 2 months - thanks to Yahweh, David. G., et. al. for making it possible.
So, this Dr. Carl Baugh, who makes all of these amazing discoveries that he so quickly publicizes received his doctorate from a university which is fully accredited by the U.S. Office of Education, right? RIGHT?!
Oho, looks like myspace might have some competition. Just look at that site. Seriously, we don't even to wait for them to open their mouths, the only people who could stand a site that looks like that have to be retarded.
Anyone watch futurama? The first thing I thought when I read this was the time that Nibbler drank all the pool water and burped up chlorine. Bender laughed as everyone else died from the gas, and then went, "Oh, wait, CHLORINE!" and then rusted up in like half a second.
Hilarious.
Anhydrous iron(III) chloride may be prepared by union of the elements:[7]
2 Fe(s) + 3 Cl2(g) ? 2 FeCl3(s)
Solutions of iron(III) chloride are produced industrially both from iron and from ore, in a closed-loop process.
Dissolving pure iron in a solution of iron(III) chloride
Fe(s) + 2 FeCl3(aq) ? 3 FeCl2(aq)
Dissolving iron ore in hydrochloric acid
Fe3O4(s) + 8 HCl(aq) ? FeCl2(aq) + 2 FeCl3(aq) + 4 H2O
Oxidation of iron (II) chloride with chlorine
2 FeCl2(aq) + Cl2(g) ? 2 FeCl3(aq)
Oxidation of iron (II) chloride with oxygen
FeCl2(aq) + ¼O2 + HCl ? FeCl3(aq) + ½H2O
lol
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
