Nothing cannot create something.
We know. Hope you realize this applies to your chosen god or gods, too.
Remember, energy can't be created, nor destroyed. It means that we couldn't have been created. Not by any kind of god or gods.

Sorry.
Yes we feel very sorry for you. Clinging to a bronze-age book with all those mistakes must be a bummer.

I know some on this forum will want to talk about particles and all that nonsnese.
Which particles? Atoms? I don't know much about physics, but I know that the Atom Theory is also "just" a scientific theory. But, it works, as the city I live in is powered by results of that theory.

That's pretty much like a parrot calling a genius stupid. We laugh at it, because it is funny. Then we call the parrot pretty boy. And he repeats it, too!
You’re welcome to start a thread on "the" geological column. It is geology and not part of the ToE. In the meantime, I can provide you with a definition for a geological column as accepted and used by geologists.
Gary, M., McAfee, R., Jr, Wolf, C.L., (eds), 1977. Glossary of Geology. American Geological Institute, Washington, D.C. 805pp.
Glossary of Geology writes:
(a) A composite diagram that shows in a single column the subdivisions or part or all of geologic time or the sequence of stratigraphic units of a given locality or region (the oldest at the bottom and the youngest at the top, with dips adjusted to the horizontal) so arranged as to indicate their relations to the subdivisions of geologic time and their relative positions to each other. See also columnar section. (b) The vertical or chronologic arrangement or sequence of rock units portrayed in a geologic column. See also: geologic section.---Syn. Stratigraphic column.
If you would want to, you can start a thread on it. I would be very happy to discuss the geologic column. It exists.

Oh my. I don't even know what any of that means.
No wonder you're a creationist. This is very, very basic stuff. It's called basic Biology. Even me, who doesn't have English as a first language, knows exactly what the word Mammalia means! And the last Biological training I had was in High School, the year I turned 18.
Don't you even know how and why animals are classified the way they are and the nomenclature employed?
Do you know why it's done like this? It helps in allowing an English speaking American Biologist to understand exactly what an IsuZulu speaking Biologist writes in a peer-reviewed, scientific article!
It also shows your complete lack in basic education.

Except that creationists are forced to deny or misrepresent a lot of that evidence, as it otherwise contradicts rather than supports creationism
Or telling outright porkies about the evidence, as is witnessed by denying the existence of transitional fossils. That's not "interpreting the evidence differently" at all. Stating that "transitional fossils don't exist" is not denying or misrepresenting, it's telling untruths.

I agree. unfortunately, you, as a higher rank in this community, do not have to explain a thing, or prove anything you say,.....
Luckily for the real world around you, "proving" is for maths and alcohol. Evidence is what counts.

I, for one, do understand Jar's posts. Sometimes I agree with him, sometimes not. At least I can understand the message he tries to convey.
However, I have absolutely no idea of what you're aiming at in your word salads. Do you have a point, anywhere?
