At least one Evolutionist can admit that transitional fossils are rare even thought lately, the Evolutionist make it them seem so common with their Ida and Ardi fossils.
The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology. The evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils. (Gould)
Though later he changed his mind and said that they are one of the best evidence for the theory of Evolution.
Described recently as "the most important evolutionary event during the entire history of the Metazoa," the Cambrian explosion established virtually all the major animal body forms -- Bauplane or phyla -- that would exist thereafter, including many that were 'weeded out' and became extinct. Compared with the 30 or so extant phyla, some people estimate that the Cambrian explosion may have generated as many as 100. The evolutionary innovation of the Precambrian/Cambrian boundary had clearly been extremely broad: "unprecedented and unsurpassed," as James Valentine of the University of California, Santa Barbara, recently put it. (Lewin)
The gaps in the fossil record are real, however. The absence of a record of any important branching is quite phenomenal. Species are usually static, or nearly so, for long periods, species seldom and genera never show evolution into new species or genera but replacement of one by another, and change is more or less abrupt.

There is a common misunderstanding that radiometric dating systems have confirmed the age of the earth. Nothing could be further from the truth. Radiometric dating systems are purported to give ages in the billions of years for the earth’s primary rocks. However, these methods are entirely unreliable giving errors of magnitude. The New Encyclopedia Britannica states that the picture for radiometric accuracy is “gloomy”. Rare attempts to apply multiple radiometric dating methods where mother and daughter elements are both present to rocks from the same stratum “almost always” give disparate dates.
“The uranium-thorium to helium-lead” methods of radiometric dating have been “pushed into the background” due to the “limited applicability and questionable reliability” of these methods. The decomposition of potassium-40 into two daughter elements: argon-40 and calcium-40 is equally fraught with problems.
Among potential wrong assumptions in establishing a date for a rock sample is the original presence of daughter elements. For example calcium-40, a daughter element of potassium-40 decomposition, is abundantly available in the earth’s surface. Only a fraction of this element can be attributed to the decomposition of potassium-40. Therefore, the presence of calcium-40 cannot be used to demonstrate the age of anything.
A second false assumption is that the decomposition processes have remained constant over billions of years. We have not even scientifically observed these processes with any accuracy for 50 years. How can we extrapolate that things have not changed over hundreds of millions or billions of years when we know that stasis of the environment cannot be true? There are many potential variables and conditions that may prove to accelerate or decelerate the nuclear decay processes.
A third problem is that contamination of rock samples is unavoidable. There are many ways that mother, or daughter elements can be falsely introduced or leaked away. Potassium, for example, is water soluble and very reactive. What is to prevent it from being leached out, or being washed into a sample? Besides calcium-40, the other daughter element in the potassium-40 decomposition process, is argon-40. This is the daughter element normally used for dating purposes. Argon is a gas that can easily escape into the atmosphere! If argon escapes into the air, then how will dates based upon its absence or presence be reliable? These and other sources of error make these radiometric systems entirely useless in the study of the age of the earth.
(These notes and quotes were extracted from The New Encyclopædia Britannica,
Chicago, 1989, vol. 19, macropædia section on Geochronology pp. 785-789)
Besides the theoretical problems, actual measurements usually give anomalous dates for rock samples. This phenomenon is well documented. In one example volcanic rocks, known to have formed in the last 200 years, gave the bizarre age of 3,000,000 years. Clearly radiometric dating methods are useless as instruments to estimate the age of the earth.
On the other hand there are evidences that certain radiometric processes would indicate a young age for the earth. For example, helium isotopes are a by-product of uranium and other natural radioactive decay. Assuming that 100% of the helium in the earth’s atmosphere is the by-product of radioactive decay, and assuming current rates, then the earth’s atmosphere can be no more than 40,000 years old.
Unlike other radiometric dating systems, carbon fourteen (14C ) dating has a demonstrated validity, but only for relatively recent events. The most optimistic of scientists would not extrapolate 14C dating validity beyond 40,000 years. It is highly accurate for several thousand years. The older the dates, the less their reliability. The same kinds of questions posed for the other radiometric dating systems apply here. What was the ratio of mother to daughter elements in the beginning? Have conditions remained constant? Has contamination occurred? Due to evolutionary bias about the age of the earth, 14C dating is not normally applied to date strata where other radiometric methods might be considered. However, it would be interesting to apply radiocarbon dating to coal and oil deposits, or to the dinosaur tissue recently discovered in China (see next post).

In my Part 2 post, one evolutionist said that Creationist are always changing their data, but that Evolutionist have never presented lies. The above article is about the Coelocanth which was theorized to be a "walking fish", and the ancestor of land vertebrates. However, it seems to be just a fish with an extra pair of fins. It is a bottom feeder like the catfish. This is just one example of the misrepresentation of the evolutionary facts.
Java Man: Only a skullcap, three teeth and a femur was found. The femur was found 50 feet away.
Orce man: One year later after it was found, officials said the skull most likely came from a 4 month old donkey.
Neanderthal: recognized to be just as human as us.
Lucy: Lucy is a Fabrication of disarticulated & geographically separated bones of more than 30 individual skeletons, most of which may not be hominids at all.
The only thing the evolutionist in my prior post would say is how much he studied evolution, but the truth is, he was just brainwashed.
Do evolutionist even admit their fraud? Of course not! However, they keep pushing their Atheistic view point trying to deceive the masses with their false science.
This is only a small list however. The evolutionist are constantly misrepresenting the facts.
This photograph is Charles Russell, the founder of the Jehovah's Witness church.
Here is a list of some of their doctrine that is contrary to the Bible.
1) They believe that only 144,000 will be resurrected to a heavenly life, but the rest will be dwelling on a paradise earth. 2) They do not believe in hell and interpret the story of the rich man and lazarus to be a parable, but not to be interpreted literally. 3) They do not believe in saluting the flag. 4) They do not believe in serving in the Military, however, I ran across some of them when I was in the Navy. 5) They are not interested in Political activity. 6) They do not celebrate holidays. 7) The JW's do not believe in blood transfusions:
“If you have reason to believe that a certain product contains blood or a blood fraction…if the label says that certain tablets contain hemoglobin…this is from blood...a Christian knows, without asking, that he should avoid such a preparation. - The Watchtower 11/01/1961, p. 669
Is it wrong to sustain life by administering a transfusion of blood or plasma or red cells or others of the component parts of the blood? Yes!...the prohibition includes "any blood at all." - Blood, Medicine and the Law of God, 1961, pp. 13, 14
However, they have changed their policy:
Watchtower Blood policy in 2006: "...when it comes to fractions of any of the primary components, each Christian, after careful and prayerful meditation, must conscientiously decide for himself." The Watchtower 2000; June 15:29-31
8) They have made a number of false prophecies:
1897 "Our Lord, the appointed King, is now present, since October 1874," Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 4, page 621.
1899 "...the ‘battle of the great day of God Almighty' (Revelation 16:14), which will end in A.D. 1914 with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced." The Time Is at Hand, page 101 (1908 edition).
1916 "The Bible chronology herein presented shows that the six great 1000 year days beginning with Adam are ended, and that the great 7th Day, the 1000 years of Christ's Reign, began in 1873." The Time Is at Hand, page ii, (forward).
1918 "Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old, particularly those named by the Apostle in Hebrews 11, to the condition of human perfection." Millions Now Living Will Never Die, page 89.
1922 "The date 1925 is even more distinctly indicated by the Scriptures than 1914." The Watchtower 9/1/22, page 262.
1923 "Our thought is, that 1925 is definitely settled by the Scriptures. As to Noah, the Christian now has much more upon which to base his faith than Noah had upon which to base his faith in a coming deluge." The Watchtower, page 106 4/1/23.
1925 "The year 1925 is here. With great expectation Christians have looked forward to this year. Many have confidently expected that all members of the body of Christ will be changed to heavenly glory during this year. This may be accomplished. It may not be. In his own due time God will accomplish his purposes concerning his people. Christians should not be so deeply concerned about what may transpire this year." The Watchtower, 1/1/25, page. 3.
1925 "It is to be expected that Satan will try to inject into the minds of the consecrated, the thought that 1925 should see an end to the work." The Watchtower, Sept, 1925 page 262.
1926 "Some anticipated that the work would end in 1925, but the Lord did not state so. The difficulty was that the friends inflated their imaginations beyond reason; and that when their imaginations burst asunder, they were inclined to throw away everything." The Watchtower, page 232.
1931 "There was a measure of disappointment on the part of Jehovah's faithful ones on earth concerning the years 1917, 1918, and 1925, which disappointment lasted for a time...and they also learned to quit fixing dates." Vindication, page 338.
1941 "Receiving the gift, the marching children clasped it to them, not a toy or plaything for idle pleasure, but the Lord's provided instrument for most effective work in the remaining months before Armageddon." The Watchtower, 9/15/41, page 288.
1968 "True, there have been those in times past who predicted an ‘end to the world', even announcing a specific date. Yet nothing happened. The ‘end' did not come. They were guilty of false prophesying. Why? What was missing?.. Missing from such people were God's truths and evidence that he was using and guiding them." Awake, 10/8/68.
1968 "Why are you looking forward to 1975?" The Watchtower, 8/15/68, page 494.
9) In Broolyn, Charles Russell sold bushels of a wester wheat that was alleged to have marvelous properties. The wheat sold for sixty dollars a bushel. He also endorsed a sale of a cancer cure, a compound of chloride of zinc.
The Bible says that anybody who makes a false prophecy should be stoned to death. This organization is another cult that you should be aware of. Don't let yourself be brainwashed if you are thinking of joining this church. If you are already a member, you should spend sometime on your own seeking the truth.

Ben Stein came out with a documentary called, "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed", where he demonstrated discrimination in science against the Creationist and Intelligent Design people.
Richard Dawkins and other evolutionist are saying that they were deceived hiding the fact that the film was about "Intelligent Design". Why do they care what the movie was about when the documentary didn't make them look like idiots, but their own words did.
Of course, all of the left-wing attacks are out in full force attacking the movie. However, I think Ben Stein did a great job in interviewing both sides of the argument. When I have watched shows on the History channel about the Bible, or Noah's flood, they have always shown only one side of the issue. One geologist on this program said, "There is no evidence for a world wide flood." Are they saying that they couldn't find one geologist that believes in Noah's flood? They definitely didn't look very hard if that is the case. That is the same thing that is going on with the theory of evolution. We are presented with one side and only one side.
The fact is that there are many scientist that do not believe in the evolutionary theory and if they question it, they are reprimanded for it.
One attack on the movie is by Catsoulis where she said, "One of the sleaziest documentaries to arrive in a very long time, “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed” is a conspiracy-theory rant masquerading as investigative inquiry."
Why does she say that? It is because the documentary is telling the truth?
The fact is that Intelligent Design is a valid scientific theory. The evolutionist are quite scared of the creationist, and that is why so few of them would be willing to debate them.

The Age of the Earth: Thousands vs. Billions of Years
Prediction: The earth will be demonstrated to be billions of years old: If the earth is less than 3 billion years old, there would not be enough time for biological evolution to occur.
Prediction: The earth will be discovered to be relatively young (e.g. more than 6,000 years, but less than 100,000,000). (Note: Intelligent Design thinking does not require a young earth, but the Young Earth/Cataclysm model, by definition, does.)
Astrophysical Dating:
Light from distant objects in the universe suggests 10,000,000,000 light years as a possible age (and consequent size) for the expansion of the known universe from the Big Bang. The same light suggests that some of these distant objects contain chemical elements such as carbon, iron and uranium requiring multiple billions of years under current theory for these elements to form in second-generation stars. Thus, these second generation galaxies would require more than 16,000,000,000 years to mature and allow the light to reach the earth. By that time, the sun would have burned out and gone cold. The reality is that no one really knows how big the universe is, or from what distance light might really come, or even whether the speed of light has always been constant.
Today, most science textbooks state that the solar system including the earth is 4.6 billion years old. There is no evidence for this arbitrary age. The likely reason for science to propose this age is that it allows enough time for evolution to happen. As to the universe, the age printed in textbooks has doubled every twenty years over the last 140 years. In the late 1920’s it was estimated that the universe was only 2,000,000,000 years old. While at the time of Darwin half a billion years was accepted. Now, with the observations of the Hubble telescope, some are proposing 16,000,000,000 years or more. (Therefore 2 billion, plus or minus 14 billion years, or 16 billion plus or minus 14 billion!) These disparate ages indicate a lack of precision in the measuring processes. Coupling these disparities with contradictory measurements from other dating systems caused one well known Darwinian astronomer to state:
“There is no evidence based solely on solar observations that the Sun is 4.5-5.0 x 109 years old. I suspect that the sun is 4.5 billion years old. However, given some new and unexpected results to the contrary, and some time for frantic recalculation and theoretical readjustment, I suspect that we could live with Bishop Ussher’s value for the age of the earth and sun. I don’t think we have much in the way of observational evidence in astronomy to conflict with that. Solar physics now looks to paleontology for data on solar chronology.” From a speech by John Eddy at an astronomy conference Quoted by Kazmann in Geotimes 1978.
The theory that the sun is fueled by fusion, burning hydrogen into helium, has some experimental support. This allows for the possibility, but does not prove that the sun is billions of years old. Predictions stated that the sun would give off neutrinos as a by-product of the fusion process. The quantities of neutrinos measured on the earth coming from the sun, however, are fewer than predicted to produce the sun’s temperature. Another theory originally proposed by Sir Isaac Newton is that the sun is heated by friction through gravitational collapse. This theory, too, has experimental support since measurements over several hundred years have indicated a slow reduction in the diameter of the sun. Sir Isaac Newton’s theory has been discarded only because it does not allow for the sun to be billions of years old, thus making evolution impossible. One explanation for the missing neutrinos is that the sun is young and that its energy is produced from a combination of both nuclear fusion and heat caused by gravitational collapse. If heat from the sun is caused by a combination of these two processes, then the sun is not billions of years old.
Besides the question about how long the sun has been burning, there are a number of other astrophysical phenomena, which give maximum ages for the universe and the solar system that are much lower then the often-quoted 4.6 billion years. Some examples:
*Spiral galaxy arms cannot continue to maintain form after billions of years. Spiral galaxies, therefore, appear to be too young for evolutionary timescales.
*Venus, Uranus & Pluto spin backwards. Gravity would not allow this to happen for billions of years.
*In the Solar System, at least 8 moons rotate backwards in a reverse spin from what would be predicted from the laws of physics. This reverse spin implies a designed, relatively young universe. There is no current naturalistic explanation for a reverse spin.
*Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, & Neptune each have moons orbiting in opposite directions. Physical laws cannot explain how reverse orbits originated, nor can they explain how these orbits would be maintained for billions of years. Gravity should have caused the orbiting moons to slow each other down. Evolutionary time frames would have required that the moons crash into the mother planets a long time ago.
*The moon’s interior is still hot. There seems to be no other explanation for the fact that the interior of the moon is still hot except that it appears not to have cooled off yet! It must therefore be very young!
*The earth’s interior is still hot! So are a number of the other planets. These planets are thus still cooling off. There is no other hypothetical explanation for heat in the interior of the planets unless the solar system is not billions of years old!
*The moon is moving away from the earth at measurable rates. Assuming a 4.6 billion year old earth, it should have escaped the earth’s orbit several billion years ago. There is no explanation as to how the Earth, or any other of the planets captured their moons into orbit. Nor is their any accepted scientific solution for the Sun to have captured the planets.
*The earth’s magnetic field has decayed by 6% in the last 150 years. Some scientists have proposed a maximum age of 20,000 years using a geometric decay profile for the magnetic field.

If you love good movies as much as I do, you are going to want to watch the movie Buried. This is a movie about a man who was buried alive with only a lighter, a knife and a cell phone. Initially he doesn't remember how he got there, but over time it starts coming back to him. This movie is an American indie thriller directed by Rodrigo Cortes. It is staring Ryan Reynolds, Anne Lockhart and Ivano Mino. Ryan Reynolds played in movies such as National Lampoon's Van Wilder, Waiting, Just Friends, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Anne Lockhart play in a movie A Dog's Tale and premiered on Knight Rider and Quantum Leap. She was also Lieutenant Sheba on Battlestar Galactica. The main character is Paul Conroy who is a truck driver and somehow ends up 6 feet under. This movie premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 23, 2010, and its first trailer premiered with A Nightmare on Elm Street. This movie will all be presented at Deauville American Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival. So what are you waiting for? If you are looking for a new movie to watch, you should checkout Buried.
I am sure Obama is sitting high and mighty after hearing that Evan Thomas, a Newsweek editor, called him God. Evan Thomas said, "Obama is standing above the country. Above…above the world… "He’s sort of God." Does anybody besides me find this crazy? This is the mentality of the left. They are making Obama out to be the savior of the world. I don’t want a president that is going to be the leader of the world. I want a president that will be the leader of the United States. His primary purpose should be to the people of the United States of America, not the whole world. For a news reporter to call him God is just insane. What has this God done so far?
1)He has accumulated more debt in one hundred days than all the other Presidents combined. China is worried about the debt they are buying and are planning on huge inflation in the United States. 2)He has increased the size of government to make LBJ look like Reagan. 3)He proposed budget deficits that his own OMB Director said were "unsustainable". 4)He went on an apology tour to apologize to the world about the arrogance of the United States to promote his own popularity. 5)He has shaken the hands of dictators, and he wants to appease people who say they want to wipe Israel off the map.
Chavez and Fidel Castro said that Obama is more left-wing than they are. That is a scary thought.
So is Obama God? The answer is, "He isn’t even close". He is more like a movie star trying to be a president. That is probably why he spends most of his time giving speeches.
Limbaugh: "If Al Qaeda wants to demolish the America we know and love, they’d better hurry, because Obama's beating them to it."

"I had motive for not wanting the world to have a meaning; consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption. The philosopher who finds no meaning in the world is not concerned exclusively with a problem in pure metaphysics, he is also concerned to prove that there is no valid reason why he personally should not do as he wants to do, or why his friends should not seize political power and govern in the way that they find most advantageous to themselves. … For myself, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation, sexual and political."
Aldous Huxley, wrote Brave New World (1932)
"I know of no finding in archaeology that’s properly confirmed which is in opposition to the Scriptures. The Bible is the most accurate history textbook the world has ever seen."
Dr Clifford Wilson, formerly director of the Australian Institute of Archaeology
"‘Biologists would clearly like to know how modern apes, modern humans and the various ancestral hominids have evolved from a common ancestor. Unfortunately, the fossil record is somewhat incomplete as far as the hominids are concerned, and it is all but blank for the apes. The best we can hope for is that more fossils will be found over the next few years which will fill the present gaps in the evidence.’ The author goes on to say: ‘David Pilbeam [a well-known expert in human evolution] comments wryly, “If you brought in a smart scientist from another discipline and showed him the meagre evidence we’ve got, he'd surely say, ‘forget it: there isn’t enough to go on’.”
(Richard E. Leakey, The Making of Mankind, Michael Joseph Limited, London, 1981, p. 43)
"Humanism: An outlook that places man and his concerns at the centre of interest. Modern Humanism, which does away with traditional Christianity, is characterised by its faith in the power of human beings to create their own future, collectively and personally." In other words, evolution = religion. That is, people (not God) set whatever rules they want. In practice, this usually becomes ‘might makes right’, including the tyranny of the majority.
Creation Ex Nihilo 22(4):23, Sepember–November 2000
‘I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially the extent to which it’s been applied, will be one of the great jokes in the history books of the future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious an hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has.’
Malcolm Muggeridge, well-known British journalist and philosopher—Pascal Lectures, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
I am just pointing out the facts. Evolution is a theory in trouble. It is dominated by atheists which validate each others claim based on their biases and not the facts. My point here is that there are many people who are experts in their fields who do not believe or have doubts about the theory of evolution. If you really look at the absurdity of evolution, you will have to come away from it troubled.
‘Evolution is promoted by its practitioners as more than mere science. Evolution is promulgated as an ideology, a secular religion—a full-fledged alternative to Christianity, with meaning and morality. I am an ardent evolutionist and an ex-Christian, but I must admit that in this one complaint—and Mr [sic] Gish is but one of many to make it—the literalists are absolutely right. Evolution is a religion. This was true of evolution in the beginning, and it is true of evolution still today. ‘… Evolution therefore came into being as a kind of secular ideology, an explicit substitute for Christianity.’
Michael Ruse was professor of philosophy and zoology at the University of Guelph, Canada (recently moved to Florida), He was the leading anti-creationist philosopher whose (flawed) arguments seemed to convince the biased judge to rule against the Arkansas ‘balanced treatment’ (of creation and evolution in schools) bill in 1981/2. At the trial, he and the other the anti-creationists loftily dismissed the claim that evolution was an anti-god religion. ‘Let me summarize my views on what modern evolutionary biology tells us loud and clear … There are no gods, no purposes, no goal-directed forces of any kind. There is no life after death. When I die, I am absolutely certain that I am going to be dead. That’s the end for me. There is no ultimate foundation for ethics, no ultimate meaning to life, and no free will for humans, either.’ Provine, W.B., Origins Research 16(1), p.9, 1994.
If you don't like what evolution teaches, you might want to consider looking at other possibilities. I realize that some of you think I am crazy for not believing in evolution. You might think that I don't know what I am talking about. That is why I am creating this post so you are aware that I am not the only one that doesn't believe in this theory. Like I said before, creationist are religious, and so are the people who believe in evolution. I am not saying that science is religion. There is some serious valid sciences that isn't religious. However, the so called science concerning origin of life or the universe is a religious concept if it involves God or no God. It takes a lot of faith to believe in the Big Bang and that makes you just as religious as a Creationist. So don't fool yourself if you are an atheist thinking that your scientific views should dominate over the theory of Creationism. Creationism can develop theories just like evolutionist. Our theories involve a Creator because we know that complexity requires intelligence.

One of the big atheistic arguments against Christianity is the claim that Jesus never existed. You can find these arguments at this site: www.atheists.org/christianity/didjesusexist.html. The most influential person that ever lived was Jesus Christ. If Jesus never existed, then the entire world and most religions are based on a lie about a man that never even existed. That is a whole lot harder for me to believe. What are the chances of this kind of lie being so convincing that most religions would based their teachings on it. Every religion talks about him in one form or another and the majority of the world are religious. This type of statement would be along the same line as the people who believe that the earth is flat. You can visit the flat earth website here: www.alaska.net/~clund/e_djublonskopf/Flatearthsociety.htm. My guess is that they have about one member. The atheists on their website gives their Old Testament evidence which consists of one paragraph. It is probably because they never took the time to read the Old Testament because it is filled with evidence for Jesus. They say, “Despite the claims of Christian apologists, there is absolutely nothing in the Old Testament (OT) that is of relevance to our question, apart from the possible fact that some prophets may have thought that an ‘anointed one’ (a rescuer king or priest) would once again assume the leadership of the Jewish world.” This quote demonstrates that they have never actually read the Old Testament. They make other statements such as, “It is clear that the gospels of Matthew and Luke could not possibly have been written by an eye-witness of the tales they tell.” They go on to make other crazy claims.Do they also claim that Napoleon never lived?Do they claim that Aristotle and Socrates never lived?Do they also claim that other historical people never lived?Of course not, because like I said before, Atheist only hate Christianity.

I have been having a conversation with a hardcore evolutionist concerning radiometric dating methods. He gave me an article written by a so-called Christian that wrote a paper on the evidence for radiometric dating and how accurate it is.
Evolutionist think that radiometric dating is absolute. Here is a video by a scientist concerning radiometric dating and he demonstrates that it definitely isn't absolute. Water can destroy radiometric dating so if a world wide flood occurred, you couldn't get an accurate date from radiometric dating. That is just one problem. Another problem is the assumption that the rate of decay remained constant. That is a big problem if the earth is millions of years old.
1. That is, that the process was not or is not affected by any outside or inside influences. The process is unhindered in development, it is separate from outside factors.
b.) Not have any of the daughter components present in the initial system.
2. If there existed any of the daughter components in the original system, you would have to know that amount and incorporate it into your calculations. Otherwise your age determination would be faulty.
c.) Have the same process rate.
3. Since the establishment of the system, the decay or process rate has remained stable and unchanged. If it were changed, then any calculation of the earth's age or the sample's age would be incorrect. To obtain a proper date, you would need to compensate for the fluctuating process rate.
The main and obvious problem with these assumptions is that they are not valid. Examine them closely.
1. Is there such a thing in nature as a closed system?
This is an ideal concept. But it is a non-existent ideal. The idea that a system in nature could remain closed (that is, not influenced by any outside sources) for millions or billions of years is absurd to the highest degree.
2. Is it possible to know the original components of a system formed billions of years ago?
According to evolutionists, there were no humans around during that time, so the notion that we can know the original components is once again absurd.
3. What process rate in an open system remains unchanged?
Every process in nature operates at a rate influenced by many different factors. If one of the factors changes, the rate is altered. Any so called 'age determination' by a physical process is, once stripped down, only an educated guess, and is most likely entirely unrelated to the actual age.
As we progress further in this evaluation, we will examine the actual processes by which these methods work, and carefully determine their validity and accuracy. Despite the overwhelmingly dogmatic support from the textbook community, the methods are simply inconsistent in the answers they put forth.
Of the dating methods that we will examine, the Uranium methods will be the first. The Uranium method is actually a compilation of a many methods. The function of this method is based on a chain of decay from Uranium and its sister element Thorium, into Lead and Helium. This process is called "alpha decay". The positively charged atoms of helium gas, otherwise known as alpha particles, escape the nuclei of the parent atoms at rates which have been shown to be statistically constant.
There are three decay chains in the Uranium methods:
1. Uranium 238 decays into Lead 206 plus 8 helium atoms; has a half-life of 4.5 billion years. 2. Uranium 235 decays into Lead 207 plus 7 helium atoms; has a half life of 0.7 billion years. 3. Thorium 232 decays into Lead 208 plus 7 helium atoms; has a half life of 14.1 billion years.
The crucial problem with these methods, in accordance to the invalid assumptions, is the fact that Uranium minerals NEVER exist in a closed system, only and always in open systems. Their reliability is commented on by Henry Faul:
"Uranium and lead both migrate (in shales) in geologic time, and detailed analyses have shown that useful ages cannot be obtained with them. Here again much chemical activity is known to take place and widely diverging ages can be measured on samples from the same spot."
Unless it is absolutely known that the system has always been a closed system, the dates provided are meaningless. Evelyn Driscoll said:
"If all of the age-dating methods (rubidium-strontium, uranium-lead and potassium-argon) had yielded the same ages, the picture would be neat. But they haven't."Read more...

This information is taken from the Atheist website:
It is only in 180 CE, with Irenæus of Lyons, that we learn who wrote the four "canonical" gospels and discover that there are exactly four of them because there are four quarters of the earth and four universal winds. Thus, unless one supposes the argument of Irenæus to be other than ridiculous, we come to the conclusion that the gospels are of unknown origin and authorship, and there is no good reason to suppose they are eye-witness accounts of a man named Jesus of Nazareth.
It is clear that the gospels of Matthew and Luke could not possibly have been written by an eye-witness of the tales they tell. Both writers plagiarized (largely word-for-word) up to 90% of the gospel of Mark, to which they add sayings of Jesus and would-be historical details. Ignoring the fact that Matthew and Luke contradict each other in such critical details as the genealogy of Jesus…
But what about the gospel of Mark, the oldest surviving gospel? Attaining essentially its final form probably as late as 90 CE but containing core material dating possibly as early as 70 CE, it omits, as we have seen, almost the entire traditional biography of Jesus, beginning the story with John the Baptist giving Jesus a bath, and ending - in the oldest manuscripts - with women running frightened from the empty tomb. (The alleged post resurrection appearances reported in the last twelve verses of Mark are not found in the earliest manuscripts, even though they are still printed in most modern bibles as though they were an "authentic" part of Mark's gospel.) Moreover, "Mark" being a non-Palestinian non-disciple, even the skimpy historical detail he provides is untrustworthy. ************************************************** The problem with the Atheist argument is that they attempt to discredit the documents based on the already perceived hatred for Christianity. They do not intellectually analyze the evidence. They assume Irenæus was incorrect because they don’t agree with some of his views. If they conclude a writer is insane, then they will discount anything the writer has to say. If I followed that rule today, then I would conclude that most of Hollywood is insane, and most of our government is insane. I mean, I don’t agree with so many people it is hard to count. Our government has used 900 billion dollars to bail out Wall Street, and if that isn’t insane, then I don’t know what is. Just because you don’t agree with someone, doesn’t mean that they are inaccurate when they are talking about a particular event.
Plagiarism wasn't the evil word that it is today. I don't see any problem if Mathew and Luke took some of the information from Mark's Gospel. That doesn't mean that what Luke and Mathew said was not accurate information. They also state that Mark's Gospel is untrustworthy because he wasn't a disciple. Why is that? You can't be an eye witness unless you are a disciple? There they go again making an assumption without any logic. The Apostle Paul wasn't an original disciple and he wrote most of the New Testament.
These Atheist will do what ever they can to discredit the Bible, but the accuracy of the Bible is a whole lot better then the evidence they have for Evolution.

I have been accused on my blog of not supporting science because I am against the theory of evolution. That is because the theory of evolution is a fraud and shouldn't be called science. There is another theory that also has a political spin and that is the theory of Global Warming. I am not saying that the earth hasn't gotten a few degrees hotter, but I am saying that it is a natural phenomenon. In the 1970s, some people were claiming global cooling and now today they are claiming global warming to the point where they are passing laws that are going to crash our economy.
"I have compared global warming alarmism as a kind of religion, complete with its own versions of sin, repentance, atonement, ritual (kids go through recycling drills) and indulgence (purchase carbon offsets to compensate for your private jet travel). Now it turns out that there’s another element: a desire to kill heretics. Here’s a collection of calls for executions of “global warming deniers.” I don’t see any specifics on what method should be used. Burning at the stake, an old favorite, might produce too much in the way of carbon emissions. Lethal injection might require use of petrochemicals produced from carbon-emitting fossile fuels. Perhaps hanging by the neck until dead with a noose made of natural fibers produced on a certified organic farm which was not reclaimed from rain forest."
When is comes to these crazy theories in science, I rather take the side of the scientists that are not in the majority. The scientists that are usually the zealots are the ones that over look the facts and ignores the evidence. That is because they need to believe in their theory even if it isn't true. It has become a religion to them. Evolution is a religion, and so is Global Warming.
At this site, someone claims that almost no scientists are coming out against Global Warming.
"Well for one thing there aren't very many. There are virtually no climate scientists who dispute that humans are causing global warming. There are a few who dispute that future warming will be particularly dangerous."
This statement is incorrect, because according to what was released on May 19th, over 31,000 scientists signed a petition against Global Warming.
Just like with the theory of evolution where people get fired for not believing it, that would apply to the scientists that don't support Global Warming. Some governments are too involved with passing laws in support of it. Global Warming is a way that the environmental groups can get what they want. People in this country always believes in science as absolute without every questioning it.
"Now, according to three new studies published in the journal Science, it turns out those conclusions based on satellite and weather balloon data were based on faulty analyses."
Don't believe everything you read just because someone calls it science!!

Prediction: The Natural phenomena will satisfactorily describe the origin of astrophysical objects.
Prediction: Any scientific analysis for the origin of the universe will call for an uncaused intelligence.
Astrophysical objects will defy naturalistic explanations indicating that they could not have happened without external engineering.
The best naturalistic proposal for the origin of the universe is the Big Bang theory. Here are some of the phenomena that the Big Bang has not explained with known scientific laws: the origin of the time, space, matter continuum the origin of the great explosion the formation of galaxies the formation of stars from expanding clouds of hydrogen the formation of binary stars the formation of planets and their moons the formation of the laws of nature
Other naturalistic explanations have even more serious problems often contradicting the laws of causality and of thermodynamics. The Steady State theory, for example, states that matter is somehow constantly being created in the “center” of the universe. If there is a creator, then this theory could be entertained, but it is not a naturalistic explanation. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy and matter cannot be created or destroyed.

This is an interesting prophecy that I read in a book. This prophecy doesn’t prove anything, but it is just interesting that it happened to come out this way. Is this a significant prophecy? I will leave that up for you to decide.
(NIV version)
Ezekiel 4:3-6 says, “Then take an iron pan, place it as an iron wall between you and the city and turn your face toward it. It will be under siege, and you shall besiege it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel. Then lie on your left side and put the sin of the house of Israel upon yourself. You are to bear their sin for the number of days as the years of their sin. So for 390 days, you will bear the sin of the house of Israel. After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin of the house of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year.”
If you noticed that God has decreed punishment for Israel for 390 days and 40 days which is 430 days. He then says that each day will be a year.
Therefore, 430 years of captivity has been decreed for Israel.
In Jeremiah 25:11 it says, “This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.”
Israel was in captivity from 606BC to 536BC for 70 years. Therefore, you can subtract that 70 years from 430 and you arrive at 360 years.
In Leviticus 26:18 it says, “If after all this you will not listen to me, I will punish you for your sins seven times over.”
So, if Israel didn’t listen to God and God punished them 7 times over, then you can multiply the 360 years by 7 and you end up with 2,520 years.
The Jewish people had a different calendar so you should convert the 2,520 to the Jewish calendar.
2520*360 (Jewish Calendar)=907,200 and divide 907,200 by our calendar of 365.25 you get 2483.80 years.
The Babylonian captivity ended at 536BC so if you take 2483.8-536 and + 1 (because there isn’t any zero AD) you end up with:

The Knights Templar is affiliated with the Freemasons. In some countries, it is a seperate order. The members of the order have to be Master Masons of a Christian faith or defenders of the Christian faith. Some people claim that the Knights Templar were protectors of the Ark of the Covenant.
The earliest written copies of Masonic ritual states that they found the Ark of the Covenant hidden in a cave under the site of King Solomon's temple.
The Freemasons is a fraternal organization that arose in the late 16th to early 17th century. There membership today are estimated to be 5 million.
What is even more interesting is that many presidents were Freemasons as stated below:
George Washington
James Monroe
Andrew Jackson
James Polk
James Buchanan
Andrew Johnson
James Garfield
William McKinley
Theodoe Roosevelt
Howard Taft
Warren Harding
Franklin Roosevelt
Harry Truman

Talk Origins website quotes: “Evolution is a Fact and a Theory”
A Scientific theory follows the following sequences:
1) Choose and define the natural phenomenon that you want to figure out and explain.
How life came into existence ?
2) Collect information (data) about this phenomenon by going where the phenomena occur and making observations. Or, try to replicate this phenomenon by means of a test (experiment) under controlled conditions (usually in a laboratory) that eliminates interference's from environmental conditions.
It is impossible to do experimental laboratory tests on creating life. The evolutionist attempt to collect data about the evolutionary theory, but the evidence is always inconclusive and the evolutionist jumps to assumptions that are far fetch and hard to believe. The scientific community already has implanted biases that lead them to the wrong conclusions.
3) After collecting a lot of data, look for patterns in the data. Attempt to explain these patterns by making a provisional explanation, called a hypothesis.
The evolutionists are looking for science that supports their view point, but when they uncover something that contradicts their view point they choose to ignore it. The theory of evolution might stop here and be called a hypothesis. That is about all they can claim.
4)Test the hypothesis by collecting more data to see if the hypothesis continues to show the assumed pattern. If the data does not support the hypothesis, it must be changed, or rejected in favor of a better one. In collecting data, one must NOT ignore data that contradicts the hypothesis in favor of only supportive data.
The evolutionists continue to ignore the statement “In collecting data, one must NOT ignore data that contradicts the hypothesis in favor of only supportive data”.
"We (evolutionists) have been telling our students for years not to accept any statement on its face value but to examine the evidence, and, therefore, it is rather a shock to discover that we have failed to follow our own sound advice." John T, Bonner
"We Paleontologists have said that the history of life supports (the story of gradual adaptive change), all the while really knowing that it does not." Miles Eldredge, pro-evolution
Stephen J. Gould, one of the intellectual fathers of the "punctuated equilibrium" theory, admitted this in all clarity at a conference he gave at Hobart & William Smith College: "Every paleontologist knows that most species don't change. That's bothersome ... brings terrible distress. ... They may get a little bigger or bumpier. But they remain the same species and that's not due to imperfection and gaps but stasis. And yet this remarkable stasis has generally been ignored as no data. If they don't change, it's not evolution so you don't talk about it."
Evolutionists are constantly ignoring data that contradicts their belief. Now, creationists have also claimed certain evidence based on their biases as well. However, creationist can admit it, but evolutionists do not.
The Lucy skeleton is still quoted as evidence for evolution even though it was totally disproved. Lucy was just another partial find of some primate that was put together to look like some transitional form of human. The bones of Lucy were seperated by 200 feet by 1 mile. Maybe we should think that the seperation of Lucy's bones was due to a world wide flood.
It is interesting to note that the fossils are so scarce regarding human evolution that all the evidence can fit in a single coffin with room to spare.
5) If a refined hypothesis survives all attacks on it and is the best existing explanation for a particular phenomenon, it is then elevated to the status of a theory.
Evolution hasn’t survived any of the attacks against it; they have just convinced people that their theory is sound because so many people do not want to anwer to a supreme being. People wanted another alternative to a belief in God so they made one up.
6) A theory is subject to modification and even rejection if there is overwhelming evidence that disproves it and/or supports another, better theory. Therefore, a theory is not an eternal or perpetual truth. People claim that evolution is a fact, when no scientific theory is a fact.
You can have a lot of evidence to support something, but you don't say that it is 100% fact because all theories are subject to counter evidence that can disprove it. There is always some (perhaps infinitisemally small) chance in principle that an experiment will disprove it. I don’t know who is saying, “Evolution is just a theory”, because it doesn’t really classify as a theory at all. At best, it might be considered a hypothesis.
"In conclusion, evolution is not observable, repeatable, or refutable and thus does not qualify as either a scientific fact or theory. Evolution must be accepted with faith by its believers, many of whom deny the existence, or at least the power, of the Creator. Similarly, the Biblical account of creation is not observable, repeatable or refutable by man. Special creation is accepted with faith by those who believe that the Bible is the revelation of an omnipotent and omniscient Creator whose Word is more reliable than the speculations of men. Both evolution and creation, however, can be compared for their compatibility with what we do observe of the facts of nature. Intelligent design is a vastly more reasonable explanation for the origin of the complexity we see in living things than is evolution by mere chance and the intrinsic properties of nature.

Why do people believe in the Bible? How does the Bible compare to other religious texts? Is there a difference between other religious texts and the Bible?
People are constantly attacking the Bible and saying there isn’t any evidence that supports it. Someone commented on one of my prior posts saying there isn’t any evidence for the Bible, but they are wrong. I want to first talk about Noah’s Flood. What really annoys me is when the Discovery Channel or the History Channel does a special on Noah’s Food saying, “Did Noah’s Flood really happen?” The whole special has one geological expert on it that makes statements like, “There isn’t any geological evidence that supports a global flood.” Are they saying that the Discovery Channel or the History Channel couldn’t find one geologist who believes in a global flood to give a counter argument? I can give you 10 in about 10 minutes. The truth is that there is loads of evidence to support a Noah’s Flood, and there is huge evidence to support the Bible.
Another flood article located at this site: mininova.org has statements such as “Oceanographer Bill Ryan was part of the team that revealed how the Mediterranean was formed 5 million years” and other statements like “Was Noah's Flood a symbol for real people who were driven from a real homeland by a real flood? In an extraordinary geological detective story, two of the world's greatest earth scientists travel to the Black Sea to reveal evidence of a mighty torrent that poured through the Bosphorus with the power of over four hundred Niagara Falls. Did this catastrophic event, only 7,500 years ago, become the stuff of ancient storytelling and the origin of the Biblical Flood?”
First they are spouting out another date that means nothing to anybody but evolutionist. How do they really know that it was 5 million years? Is there really a dating method that can date something accurately to 5 million years? However, the video is really about endorsing the local flood idea and not the global flood idea. I guess they will later explain how the Chinese legends had flood stories, and how the Native Americans had flood stories, and how Australian Aborigines had flood stories. I guess they plan to explain that in their next documentary. I guess they will explain how the Fossil ‘graveyards’ are found worldwide and in rocks of all ‘ages’. Only a global flood could achieve such an event. Maybe in their next unbiased flood documentary they will cover how the Dinosaurs and many other prehistoric creatures died out suddenly. Only a catastrophe such as a global flood could have produced this result. Just maybe, when the media actually attempt to film a documentary concerning Noah’s Flood that is accurate, we will learn about some of the facts that are actually true.
