Once again there is the need for the evos to use ad-hominem style attacks. I call them cowards.
And calling them cowards is an ad-hominem. So I guess you can't bitch about their use of ad-hominems if you use them too, can you?

“Feminism has fought no wars. It has killed no opponents. It has set up no concentration camps, starved no enemies, practiced no cruelties. Its battles have been for education, for the vote, for better working conditions…for safety on the streets…for child care, for social welfare…for rape crisis centers, women’s refuges, reforms in the law.
If someone says, “Oh, I’m not a feminist,” I ask, “Why, what’s your problem?”
Living fossils such as the Coelacanth, Tuatara, Ginko tree, Wollemi Pine, Crocodiles and Horseshoe crabs do an enormous amount of damage to the evolutionary theories.
No, it doesn't. Evolution says you need to adapt to a changing environment ... but only if you can't deal with it already. The reason those things haven't changed much is because they didn't need to. It's kinda like the joke you'd need to have nuclear war to destroy a cockroach. If you're just that awesome, there's no real reason to change.
That's your logic?
My post presented several reasons why they should have changed over your so-called deep time. Perhaps you should go re-read it.
It seems fairly obvious to anyone who spends time thinking about these sorts of things would realize that IF there were a flood, there would be specific effects on lifeforms.
First, we should be able to observe, everywhere on earth, a deposit of the bones of all forms of life, all mixed up together.
There would be no intact skeletons for ANYTHING killed in the flood.
Why?
Well, common sense, of course.
Put bodies into water for over a month, especially turbulent waters filled with other debris such as all the trees which would have been uprooted and floating about.
Prolonged exposure to constantly moving water filled with things to crash into would mean all the bodies would have become complete soaked, bloated, softened and would have been pulled apart.
IF the flood actually happened, we should see no intact fossils or find any skeletons intact.
That fact that we DO find them intact is evidence there WAS NO FLOOD.
Even a child could work that out with a thought experiment and spending just a bit of time looking up the effects prolonged water exposure has on flesh....

Religions that championed the idea of a one-dimensional eternal being, for example, got bitten in the ass when it became rather obvious to anyone who bothered opening their eyes that life is filled with flux. Religions that already talk about flux have lasted rather well with maybe a few permutations, but not nearly as many as the ones who still latch onto the idea of unchanging reality. Christianity over-philosophized God and reality because Plato sounded much more rational than the bible, which has plenty of ups and downs in the plot to imply the complex nature of the universe, which forced a shattering into a gazillion denominations so that everyone could have their pet views without just saying the obvious: life is not a still photo. Christianity had to change their setup because it wasn't built for an accurate reflection of life. Yet religious/philosophical traditions which held views much closer to reality are still just plugging along like they always did.

So what was the main cause of the demise of the dinosaurs?
The answer is...a flood. The Dinosaur National Monument people almost got it right.
Why are there so many bones in one place? The rock around them is made up of sand and gravel, just like the sand and gravel you might see along a large river. Such a river flowed through this area 150 million of years ago, and many dinosaurs lived near it. Now and then some of them died near the river. During rainy seasons, the river overflowed its banks--just as many rivers do now--and picked up some of the dead dinosaurs lying nearby. A few of those bodies were whole, but many had probably decayed or been eaten by other animals, so that just the bones were left. The bones and bodies were carried by the river and deposited in the main channel. The current buried them with sand and gravel. The place that is now the Quarry was at one time a river channel.
