Do you also believe that the Earth is only a few thousand years old?

I can assure you that endlessly reciting the same tiresome BS is not having the desired effect.
solid argument, but i doubt he understood a word of it. you have to use simple terms that he is already familiar with.

having heard no supporting arguments for a young earth, i will have to conclude that you (rjhinds) have no supporting arguments for a young earth and believe it simply as a course of the general mythology you believe in.

I watched the second video LOL the whole deal. The guy admits that it's a theory and not necessarily true. This would answer questions for YECers. The "C" decay is probably the worst of these theories. I can accept that God stretched the heavens but we have to ask the question then what is the effect of this? What is the observational evidence of this? If the universe was stretched out there should be an effect that we can see right? What are or would be the effect of stretching time and space? The most intriguing thing to me is that in the big bang model supposedly there was once 50% matter and 50% anti-matter and so the universe should have cancelled its self out but somehow matter made it to be the dominate in the universe.

As long as those promoting the evidence remain on youtube and refuse to publish their results in a reputable peer reviewed scientific journal, it will remain where it is, and the Theory of Evolution will remain solidly as one of the corner stones of modern science.

I remember looking at one of the videos in which the information is said to have been published in peer reviewed magazines and even showed all the magazines. The only one that I am familar with is "Nature" which I saw years ago in the Library at the Medical College of Georgia here in Augusta, Georgia.

There seems to be an unwillingness among evolutionists to seriously consider any opposing information to their sacred theory. This idea has been brought out in at least two videos I have posted on this site. You have that same attitude, it seems to me.

it would be worthwhile to spend 49 minutes to uncover the truth. in this case however it would simply be 49 minutes of the latest and not so latest falsehoods, exaggerations, misinterpretations, misunderstanding, coverups that YECS come up so they get to a certain before known result.

i have never seen a surprised yec scientist (it pains me to put "yec" and "scientist" together)

As long as it remains in your memory and on youtube and not in any actual magazines, its not going to get anywhere.

Lol "for long" how long RJ? and why do you keep going back into the darkness, between you and the other Christians your god must feel as though he is doing the 'spinning plate' trick.

Yeah, sometimes it's amusing to play the 'find the falsehoods' game, but perhaps not such a long version. 🙂

His atheist buddies are the ones who see clearly. They also can change their minds in light of newer science. You are the one in the dark, stuck 2000 years in the past, unable to change your views no matter what new science comes on board. For instance, look at my post about a new theory about the origins of the universe.

There you go, devolving into proselytizing, unable to come up with a real response.
