Do You Believe in Ghosts? - AiG's position on ghosts.

 

Responding to an Outraged Ark Encounter Critic - As the title says, its a response to a letter. This is just proof that if you criticize AiG, they will turn it around and use it to publicize their agenda, including the Ark Encounter. They thrive and seek the attention of their critics, so they can publicize themselves more.  It would be wise of all old earth Christians, and non-believers, to ignore AiG. If you want to know what they are up to, visit the Creation Science Watch on this website.

Swedish fossil fern preserves chromosome detail, pointing to catastrophic burial: A casualty of the biblical flood - Three quick issues.

 1. Yes, burying something rapidly aids in its preservation. If CMI wants to claim this was buried catastrophically, that's ok. However, throughout the geologic record there are many examples of distinct, separate local flood events that bury organisms catastrophically. There is no proof that this fern was buried by the young earth version of Noah's flood...but they are eager to assume it was so without any scientific proof. 

2. CMI gives the impression from the article that the original organic cells are preserved. They say that it was "preserved instantaneously before it had started to decompose." No problems there. However, after it was instanstly preserved, the fossil was permineralized. This is where the spaces in the cell are filled in with mineral deposits. The cells walls themselves can remain.  In fact, the fossil is almost 92% Calcium, which is the calcite cement that filled in the fossil. Silica represents another 3 percent, and Phospherous another 2 percent, leaving 3 percent for other matter, including organic remains. 

3. CMI says "Evolutionary Stasis wipes away millions of years." Not really.  There are many examples of evolutionary stasis. Just because something does not evolve, does not disprove millions of years or evolution.

Here is a link to the scientific report.

Did you know that you can be a Christian, and believe that the earth is billions of years old?  You can even believe in evolution and be a Christian.  There is no conflict between science and the Bible...all one needs is a proper understanding how to merge science and the Bible.  To learn more about old earth creationism, see Old Earth Belief, or check out the article Can You Be A Christian and Believe in an Old Earth?  

 Feel free to check out more of this website.  Our goal is to provide rebuttals to the bad science behind young earth creationism, and honor God by properly presenting His creation.
