there is a person my Dad went to college with (at PCC) and he opened this theme park type place called Dino land (or something like that), for Christains who beleive how God actually created the earth (the Biblical way!). There, they actually FOSSILIZED a teddy bear.
What does this tell you about science now?

Teen or kindergarden toddler?. Teddy bears ARE NOT LIVING BEINGS. They are a creation, dating from the post-war period, like this chair for example. They can´t be fossilised, and it tells a lot about you and CREATIONISM.
If the museum were still in operation (I assume it's not because Kent Hovind is in jail), and I didn't have to give money to him, I would so want to go.
Are you sure they fossilized the teddy bear there? You can buy fossilized teddy bears off of e-bay you know.
It tells you that Ashleigh doesn't know much about science or logic. "Some fossils are new" isn't proof that all fossils are new, any more than "some dogs are black" is proof that all dogs are black.
It tells us that fossilization can be recreated in a laboratory setting. And since fundies are cinstatntly saying that in order for somthing to be science you have to be able to replicate it in a lab, then by your observations, fossils DO represent scientific evidence.
Well, first off, ol' Kent there does not actually possess any degree from any college even remotely accredited by anyone. In the second place, given enough heat and pressure, you can fossilize anything in a properly equipped lab, it's not that big of a deal. Of course, it requires pressures beyond anything ever present on the Earth and temperatures approaching that of the sun to do it in a short time, but that's just a technical detail, isn't it?
Doncha know? This proves that back in the day, people fossilized all the dinosaur bones that ever existed. And the trilobites, and certain types of other animals. Because just they felt like it was a good idea or something.

I saw a TV show a few years back about how scientists can mummify human bodies in a short amount of time, thanks to all sorts of fun technology that speeds up the process.
It tells me your father's friend can't fuck 'em soft.
Fossils are dated by how deep they are, not how hard.
Fuckwitasstard.
And was that teddy bear placed under ordinary hard water until mineral deposits formed around it, making it look like it had turned to stone? Because that's not fossilization. A fossil is created when a buried organism decays and minerals fill the gaps left behind, similar to a plaster mold. What you've got there is mineralization.
Did the cretinists who ruined a perfectly good teddy know about this? If they did, they were blatant liars, and they would be ashamed of themselves for spreading falsehoods while claiming to value "The Truth" above all else. If they didn't know this, then they were scientific illiterates who should take remedial classes before they even think about teaching others.
It tells me that you know fuck-all about it, and can't even be bothered to google Dino land, before writing about it, or learn spelling rules (i before e, except after c) so you can spell "believe" correctly.
They might have fossilized a teddy bear, literally, as fossil comes from the Latin word fossus "having been dug up". A scientific fossil, however, ought to be at least 10 000 years old.
PCC, is that Pensacola unacCredited College?.
@Hollio
Hovinds bullshit diploma is in Christian Education, and in no way near PhD level. Even a valid certificate in that is damn near useless, you could wing that act every day (most priest do)with a collection of Childrens Illustrated Bibles Stories as reference.
A business course woulda kept his ass outta jail as taxes would have been covered.
Did you actually replace every bit of fiber in that teddy bear with stone? If not, you're a damn liar.
If they did, they are blaspheming God by replicating what he did.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
