A publisher has asked me to assemble a proposal for a short book on the myths and legends associated with the Giza Pyramids, notably the medieval legends of the Muslim world, so I am going to be taking some time today to work on this. In the meantime, I wanted to share something interesting I ran across in reading about Graham Hancock’s new book, America Before. Do you remember the popular claim that there were wooly mammoths flash-frozen in the Arctic as a result of a catastrophic change in climate, perhaps due to a shifting of the poles? It turns out that this claim is much older than I had imagined.
Look where they have found perfectly intact mammoth remains. With perfectly preserved food still in their months and undigested food in their mouths. This means, my son, these animals where frozen almost instantaneously. Cool yes?

I think it was because I was pressing you that your creation scientists were claiming diamonds were 50,000 years or older and you claim 6,000 years. You guys are an order of magnitude apart. You can't have it both ways.
I can't speak for the old Earth Christians and others, but the Earth is young. My UC scientists found the diamonds could be radiocarbon dated, but then came up with excuses. It was the same when Mary Schweitzer in 2005 found soft tissue remaining in dinosaur fossils. Others have found the same throughout the world. This is being hidden by the atheist scientists. They know that science and religion come together. That's why they try so hard to avoid it. Isn't this what Satan wants? He wants to hide, but through his evolution he wants God to hide. However, that is impossible.
"The RATE Group - Creation scientists at the Institute for Creation Research and the Creation Research Society are collaborating on a project to study factors that might affect radioisotope dating. Specialists in Geology, Geophysics, Astrophysics, and Physics are actively engaged in this line of research."
With Genesis 1:9, we have Noah's Flood or the global flood. The evidence is overwhelming that there was a global flood. However, the atheist scientists can't admit that of else they would have to let, the creation scientists, like the RATE scientists back into their peer reviews. Then they won't be able to hide their findings nor use science by consensus.
As for your coal ages, here is a better and more truthful article.
"Too Much Coal?
Another argument used against the Bible time-line is that the pre-Flood world could not have produced enough vegetation to make all the coal.[23] But again, this argument is based on wrong assumptions. The pre-Flood land area was almost certainly greater before all the Floodwaters were released onto the surface of the earth. Also, the climate was probably much more productive before the Flood.[24] Furthermore, it has been discovered that much coal was derived from forests which floated on water.[25] So, calculations based only on the area of land would be wrong. And finally, the estimates of how much vegetation is needed are based on the wrong idea that coal forms slowly in swamps and that most of the vegetation rots. The Flood would have buried the vegetation quickly, producing a hundred times more coal than from a swamp.[22]"

Wrong assumption, but there was a whole world of evil ancient peoples before the global flood. They are now buried under water, under forests, under deserts, and more all throughout the world. We also find they didn't live in caves like your Flintstones.

Mr Geologist...let me know your opinion on the following events. I’m certain as an accredited geologist of amazing renown, you know all about them.
- Gothenburg Event
- Mono Lake/Lake Mungo
- Laschamp Event
- Vostok Event

I gave references. Where are your references? I will be glad to constructively critique them if you post them.
There is no gap in the history. The apostle John was taught by Jesus, and Polycarp was a student of the apostle John and a Quartodeciman. The oldest papyrus manuscript fragment for the Christian Greek Scriptures (aka NT) is dated to early in the second century - the copy was made about 50 years after the book of John was written.
The claim comes up a lot that Polycarp met John—the original Apostle, Disciple of Jesus, Brother to James, the “Pillar” of Galatians 2, He of The Twelve. Enough to warrant a response you can bookmark. The short answer to the question, “Did he?” is no. It’s not likely at any rate. Later legends claimed this. But so far as we can tell, Polycarp himself conspicuously never did.
I don't know if he'll come back but he certainly was wrong about when. He told people of his own time that many would not taste death before the end times. Not surprising since he was an apocalyptic Jew who believed he was living in the end of this time. A belief he shared with Paul.
You are both misquoting and ignoring the context wherein they saw Jesus in the kingdom in the transfiguration vision.
Matthew 16:28-17:9
Truly I say to you that there are some of those standing here who will not taste death at all until first they see the Son of man coming in his Kingdom.”+ 17 Six days later Jesus took Peter and James and his brother John along and led them up into a lofty mountain by themselves.+2 And he was transfigured before them; his face shone as the sun, and his outer garments became brilliant* as the light.+3 And look! there appeared to them Moses and E·liʹjah conversing with him. 4 Then Peter said to Jesus: “Lord, it is fine for us to be here. If you wish, I will erect three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for E·liʹjah.” 5 While he was still speaking, look! a bright cloud overshadowed them, and look! a voice out of the cloud+ said: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.+ Listen to him.”+6 At hearing this, the disciples fell facedown and became very much afraid. 7 Then Jesus came near, and touching them, he said: “Get up. Have no fear.” 8 When they looked up, they saw no one but Jesus himself. 9 As they were descending from the mountain, Jesus commanded them: “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of man is raised up from the dead.”+
I think it is you who are taking Jesus out of his 1st century context. Apocalypticism was a popular belief back then and Jesus was almost certainly a believer, as was John the Baptist and Paul. As for misquoting Jesus, just about everyone does it since he wrote nothing and his teaching were not written down until well after his death, almost certainly by people who never met or heard him speak.
Dear Dr Indiana, while you are preparing your amazing response to my post above, could you please find it in the kindness of your big heart and your enormous brain to address the lowly Albert Einstein’s comment below?
“…Albert Einstein, who wrote the preface to Hapgood’s 1958 book, believed that the accumulation of ice at the North and South poles would be the trigger for a crustal displacement (geophysical pole shift). Einstein explained the triggering mechanism as follows:
In a polar region there is continual deposition of ice, which is not symmetrically distributed about the pole. The earth’s rotation acts on these unsymmetrically deposited masses, and produces centrifugal momentum that is transmitted to the rigid crust of the earth. The constantly increasing centrifugal momentum produced in this way will, when it has reached a certain point, produce a movement of the earth’s crust over the rest of the earth’s body, and this will displace the polar regions toward the equator.”
“…In contrast to Hapgood, Thomas believed the explanation was that something in the Earth’s interior was occurring that was the triggering mechanism.”
You're not ding's sock puppet are you? You haven't been around since 2019 and suddenly, you show up and he's not around anymore to answer to the Bible. However, he's a deist so it is what it is.

I think it's beyond naive to assume anyone but a fundamentalist Christian would accept science related matters coming from charlatans at the Institute for Creation Research or the creation research society.
Oh, and, there is no reliable evidence for a global flood a few thousand years ago.

Just curious. Do you or other atheists here think he's Catholic (I think you know who are Catholics around here (not me))? Or does he talk more like a deist?
I don't think he goes to church nor read the Bible much, but I want to give him a chance to explain his claims. He doesn't even talk like an old Earth Christian. I can accept people misusing the word, Gospel.

I can’t think of a single ancient society that has a legend of a global flood just a few thousand years ago.
I can’t think of any reliable evidence being found for whole worlds of ancient peoples now buried under water, under forests, under deserts, and more all throughout the world.
It's not the scientific explanation that is important. It is God's explanation of what happened. Science only backs up what he said, but it isn't everything. God was the only witness. He described it in a way everyone understands, so the peoples in ancient times and we still talk about it to this day. You do not want to give up the Bible because of science or it is my belief that one will be misled. Satan is too powerful as he took over Adam's domain. I believe it is why God had to send his only son to save us.
