fun fact: Did you know a group of scientists cardon dated a live clam and it read to be 2000 years old?
Theres just a little thing about carbon.....nah, il let you sort that out yourself


Only dead things cant be carbon dated, as the carbom 14 levels in living plants and animals stay constant, it's only when it's dead that the carbon 14 level can be measured.

yeah, just recently they dated a man to be around 3.5 million years old. turns out, he was just over a thousand. rofl, carbon dating Is FAR from accurate, especially when they choose to use the particular method that happens to be consitent with the evoloutionary theory that is 10% of the dating they choose to use. Stop distracting me from my assignment please :P


You should check your facts there, carbon dating only works up to 50,000 years.

You see it takes millions of years to form new species and one lifetime for a bacterium is .00000000000000000000000000001 of year, long enough to clone, but long enough to alter? how did they pull it off i wonder?


Most genetic mutations occur during the reproducing process, when a new genetic code is created, therefore an organism with a very short life span will have the fastest rate of evloution, as there are more chances for a mutation to occur.

This computes to only one success in a mind boggling 8.3 hundred quadrillion, quadrillion attempts (8.3x1032) (gasp!). Suppose ‘chance’ uses a machine which removes, records and replaces all the letters randomly at the fantastic speed of one billion per microsecond (one quadrillion per second)! On average the phrase would happen once in 25 billion years by this random method. If, as evolutionists would have us believe, the earth has been in existence for approximately 5 billion years, then ‘chance’ could take five times this time to spell out its own success, even at this phenomenal rate of experimentation. And this phrase is infinitely simpler than the smallest life form, and children of average intelligence could perform this same spelling task within a minute or so.


That may be true, but if you were to add another computer, it would double the chance, and 5 computers would bring the time down to 5 billion years, 1000 computers would bring the time down to 25 million years, which is a very short time compared to the age of the Earth.
Earth contains billions of billions of lifeforms, which wolud increase the chance of evolution quite alot.

And if life came to Earth via a meteortite (i.e. seeded), the complex microbes would already exist.

God is intelligent though, right? and if it existed forever and ever and ever that means God would have been VERY bored before creating earth and heavens at the beginning of Genesis. Wouldn't that make an intelligent thing very lonely, depressed and maybe just a little bit crazy?


Well no, god is not human, he wouldn't get lonely like humans do, and i'm sure he had lots of other things to do with his time.

Anyway, God existed before the creation of the universe, and time was created at the beginning of the universe at the big bang. So time has no meaning for God.

I'll post more later, but for now I'd just like for anyone who believes in creationism to think about this: Who/what made god?


No one did, God may of have just always existed. The concept of a beginning is a human thing, as everything in our life has a start, but there is no reason why God would need a beginning.

However there are specific claims by the Bible and in turn the Christian faith about Jesus. Healing the sick. Turning water into wine. Walking across water. You all know what im talking about. However we know these things to be impossible.


How do you know these things are impossible?, even in our modern day people have been know to perform miracles of healing people, the world is a mysterious place.

jesus was a "black" jew so why do christians praise him?

ok, firstly Jesus was not "black", his was born in what is now the middle east, so therefore his skin would be the same colour as the people of that area. And even if he was black what has that got to do with anything? all people are the same no matter what their skin colour is.

if you believe in god do you believe in the devil... you can't have one without the other so why not believe in both...

people have the freedom to belive in whatever they want, so there's no problem with someone chooseing not to belive in the devil but still beliving in God.

why do we celebrate xmas on the 25th of decmber when it's been proven he was more likely born in july?


We are still unsure what year Jesus was born let alone the date, our modern calender did not exist until hundreds of years after the death of Jesus.

Transport Tycoon had me going for hours... I'd just buy all the companies out instead of waiting for them to go Bankrupt...


But when you bought them out you ended up with the most messed up train networks, the AI was so bad in that game, lol

Transport Tycoon, one of the first games I ever played, and I still play it sometimes. The first C&C was great, but the number 1 game of all time, has to be none other then...
