I think a creationist with a good background in chemistry and geology could put together a good one to suggest a vehicle to change atmospheric oxygen and hydrogen into water, don’t you? A few experiments with oxygen, hydrogen, argon and carbon, etc. and I bet they could figure out why the carbon dating gives us all those erroneous ages, too.

Sure, just a few simple experiments in your EZ-Bake Oven, and you'll overthrow centuries of work done by thousands and thousands of the world's most intelligent scientists. And if you have 10 or 15 minutes to spare, perhaps you could turn your infinite intellect towards solving the energy crisis, cancer, AIDS, and worldwide hunger, too. And then you could easily collect your multiple Nobel Prizes, millions of dollars, and your worldwide fame.

So why do you think it is that no one has done this yet?

I know which side I'm going to bet on. Hint: It ain't the side that starts with conclusions based on a 2000-year-old book of mythology and then rejects all contradictory evidence, calling it "historical science" and asking "Were you there?"

And while you're at it, could you see of you can find EVEN ONE "creation scientist" that has actually done science based only on the bible that has resulted in EVEN ONE product that has been beneficial to humankind? What disease has been cured only by "science" contained in the bible? What product based only on insight gained from the bible has increased the human life span, reduced hunger, or otherwise benefited society?

Maybe in attempting this you'll find out which side is truly erroneous.

I thought the "genius" Ken Ham claimed to have already done that.

Didn't he claim the answer to everything is "goddidit"?

Why? "Because the bible says so".

Why should we believe the bible? "The Bible is divinely inspired and inerrant throughout. Its assertions are factually true in all the original autographs." (Never mind we don't have any of the "original autographs", and what we do have are copies of copies of translations of copies...no possibility of errors, biases, or interpretations of fallible people there) "It is the supreme authority in everything it teaches. Its authority is not limited to spiritual, religious, or redemptive themes but includes its assertions in such fields as history and science".

This must be because desert goat herders, living in tents 3000 years ago, knew more about science, the cosmos, and biology than modern day scientists. Seems logical.

Let's not forget Ken also said, "By definition, no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the scriptural record. Of primary importance is the fact that evidence is always subject to interpretation by fallible people who do not possess all information".

Never mind that this very scriptural record has been "interpreted by fallible people" (Ken Ham) "who do not posess all information" (Ken Ham) and that others, interpreting the same scriptural record, have come to completely different conclusions.

So there, scientists take THAT! Goddidit, because the bible said so, and because Ken Ham himself said "because I say any evidence to the contrary is wrong".
