Then the NSA wouldn't even need to ask to snoop on all Internet traffic exactly as the CHP needn't ask to drive up to my house, peer in my windows.

Isn't that the place that punked National Geographic with that other "missing link" fossil a couple decades ago? Why are we to think they aren't pulling the same scam. Then there's the repeatedly demonstrated gullibility of evolutionists over the last century. This is not news; this is tragic deception. I have a better idea: let's have these people HOLD THEIR OPINION for the complete data.

Duplicating all pagan religions. They start with water because Genesis starts with the Holy Spirit hovering over the water. The obvious implication is that this is the point when Lucifer was created and he decided at that point that both he and God came out of that water there. The reason this is ridiculous is that it ignores Crick's, Franklin's, and Watson's work proving the mind-boggling complexity of life that could never be duplicated but by a mind-boggling intelligence. "Random processes"? Any randomly assembled amino acid randomly disassembles as well; even Miller proved that. This is our tax dollars being spent on a national religion.

No it doen't. " For the industrial era, Lovejoy's analysis uses carbon-dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels as a proxy for all man-made climate influences – a simplification justified by the tight relationship between global economic activity and the emission of greenhouse gases and particulate pollution, he says. ... " That's what we call circular reasoning. Your argument is literally invalid for tripping over the common-to-"scientists"-lately fallacy of using the conclusion for the premise.

If it does, there never was a faith there to begin with. What happens STRENGTHENS what's there, in these cases, that the person thinks more of other humans' opinions than of God's. "One with God is a majority" (Martin Luther.) The Internet has shown me how crucial is faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord as I've seen how lost and darkened is the thinking of so many people ("water is complex"? really? Is that what passes for "science" now?)

"religious ignorance" = you are the ignorant one: the first to use the insults loses. Fact is, there is no evidence of life-by-incremental-changes. Darwin RAILED against jumps but there it is: life with neither the time nor the ability to exist. Instead of insulting those who choose to not repeat unproven theories (i.e., lies), commend them for thinking for themselves instead of believing what everyone else says.

Absent from your 1-sided post is any sense of the multiple errors and outright lies that glut teaching life-by-incremental changes. If you wanna call it "creationism," you wanna slap a "religion" label on it when the real religion is the state religion of atheistic humanism. How about these guys are merely teaching the facts of how things really work?

"key physical attribute associated with life" = silly and deceptive. The KEY attribute of life is complexity, not water nor energy. And you can't fake complexity--you have an intelligence putting that into the system or you have random chaos. Deal with it.

How about because these folks have already made so many breathless claims that they have zero credibility . . . no one was believing them 6 years ago, either. Many people are simply tired of hearing half lies so they believe nothing at all--it's safer that way.

There is very much doubt about the age of the earth, solar system., universe, and all the "dating" methods used to obtain these numbers. What you don't want to admit is that this doubt exists because if you do, you have a huge amount of work ahead of you in re-writing everything you believe. Dr. Hugh Ross made an interesting comment about this: let y'all have those 6 or 9 zeroes and say, "So what?" You need HUNDREDS of zeroes to even get your life-by-incremental-changes started. Or do you not know the actual probability of randomly assembling a DNA molecule with ALL laevo-rotary amino acids? If you don't like "creation," who cares? At least it doesn't self-contradict.

Your brain is like any other muscle: the more you do with it, the more you are able to do with it. Trouble remembering? Start CONSCIOUSLY working on developing your memory by CONSCIOUSLY working on memorizing stuff. It matters not what because it matters not whether you lift 10 pounds of feathers or 10 pounds of lead 50 times. The effort at memorization is what your brain needs. I memorized the Book of Proverbs, 1 chapter at a time. It took me 6-7 years, but there it is. Patient, persistant self-discipline (i.e., self-training) develops the skill.

If you want a job done right, do it yourself: home-school.

Only shop at $0.99 stores because even thieves know those customers haven't any money to steal.

If we accept that Einsteinian universe, we accept that it's limited, finite, and had a beginning. Thus, we accept that it HAS A BEGINNER. Never mind these other places. What do we do about the (obvious) God who began THIS universe? Or do we use this wholly unproven notion as yet another excuse to ignore our Creator?

"Mutations are the engine of evolution. Without them we never would have evolved." Please keep the state religion out of scientific discussions. Yes, DNA replication results in mutations. If these documented mutations really were 100,000,000's of years old, we would not be here: we would have mutated outselves out of existence. Yes, EVERY mutations is harmful. The state religion has no way of showing where a mutations could be beneficial, so much less is there any evidence (the stuff of real science) that it happened. Thus, cancer is incurable because we won't stop throwing carcinogens around our environment for others' bodies to not be able to deal with. There's no "good" to this one; worse, we're doing it to ourselves.
