-Removed-Not sure how you can prove iron could and would preserve soft tissue
over millions of years. What it can do in the short term, does not
automatically mean it would be able to continue to do it through that
much time. I guess if you believed in millions/billions of years you are
forced to accept it could, and if not you'll reject it.

[bI was wondering what those that
didn't agree with a young earth were going to say about, and was
amused that there was already an explaination of 'iron' to dismiss it.

Then a few posts later:
They may honestly believe what they think is true, that does not make them liars, just wrong.
Sorry, but I am not buying. This whole thread is an attack by you on scientists that disagree with your beliefs and you are being very careful to insinuate wrong doing but not making the accusations strong enough that you can be called on it. But they are nevertheless accusations despite your denials. Your trademark style of ultimate vagueness does not excuse what you say.
Originally posted by KellyJayIts irrelevant. You were amused that there was an explanation. Whatever explanation was given, you would still be amused, and still be unconvinced by the explanation.

Only if you do your science based on your beliefs. Why should someone who believes the earth is thousands of years old automatically reject the possibility that iron is a good preservative?
-Removed-Truth is going to be truth no matter how I look at it or anyone else.
I think people are flawed, God not so much, does that translate to how
I view the scripture as being flawless? I'm flawed, so I have to trust God
there too. I believe in the ancestral trail of Adam to Christ which makes
everyone one of us related. With respect to interpreting the scriptures, I
believe them over people today.

-Removed-For the Jewish people it was huge to be able to know what tribe you
were from! Much rested on it, God took great pains to ID those He was
doing a work through and the blessings that followed their lives. So yes,
I agree a lot hangs on it being complete, literal, and accurately
documented. The translation portion, is important, but until the time of
Christ I don't think the Hebrew people cared a lick about translations.

-Removed-As you stated the science first starts with an hypothesis (speculation), then the scientist attempts to prove his speculation. It is curious that scientists speculating on opposite things sometimes are each able to appear to almost prove his or her speculation.
Even though new or amended hypothesis can be made, such speculation is not easily accepted unless it remains consistent with current accepted thought. The examples you gave could have already been obtained from reading the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible also gave the answer to the source of that creative energy.
-Removed-I don't think it matters all that much, God said what He said, we accept
it or not. I don't know one reason why having the earth 7K years old is
some how more or less important than having it several million/billion
years old. It is a meaningless data point for salvation or anything else
in my opinion. I just like sticking to what scripture says, I dislike
judging it, I believe I will be judged by it.

-Removed-The Holy Bible never mentions billions or millons of years of previous history, so there is no need to speculate about these long ages when scripture clearly indicates the heavens and earth and all that is in them were orignally created in six days not billions of years.
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Originally posted by RJHindsThe bible doesn't mention nova's either but they exist. The bible doesn't mention bacteria but they exist. So according to your logic, there is no such thing as novae or bacteria.

Get serious. Try to think things through using your own actual brain rather than just go on being duped by your programming.
