“For example; did you know that there are petrified trees standing straight up in the layers of the Grand Cannon?”
Citation please? Because all the petrified trees I’ve heard about from SCIENCE are of a single layer.
“That means that the tree which is doing so must have existed for millions of years, because it is standing in and through millions of years of layers of earth.”
Do you have any signs that it was fucking ALIVE during these millions of years? Any indication that these trees of layer 1 were still growing through layer 2, 20, 200? If not, you’re jumping to a false conclusion. But hey, where’s the citation?
“Of course another possibility is that it died standing up and was buried quickly in those layers as they settled out after a great flood.”
‘Consistent with’ a global flood does not make ‘proof’ for a global flood. And you’d have to explain why the layers UNDER these trees weren’t churned by that flood. I mean, if it happened 4000 years ago, and buried the standing trees, then all the fossils from any strata UNDER those trees is more than 4000 years old, right? So all the dating methods that age those trees are wrong, but weirdly, everything UNDER those trees is aged consistently… And these are trees, so that’s 400 million years ago? Meaning the Earth is not 4.5 billion years old, it’s no more than (math) 4.1 billion years old. Such a savings!
“Oh, but that would mean those layers are not really millions of years old. Hum...”
THAT layer and everything above it dates to the Flood. Everything below it dates to before the flood. All the billions of years of strata.
Your extra special discovery, here, doesn’t really help you, does it?
“Christianity can stand up to logical thinking.”
Heh. You open with a fucking LIE, then brag that your theory can stand up to scrutiny?
That’s fucking stupid.
“Can evolution?”
Probably. God knows the creationists don’t apply logic to it, just lies, mistruths, half-truths, poor science and poorer history.
“You have to decide for yourself.”
Yeah, one side lies to us and one side lets us examine the evidence.
We call that a no-brainer.
