What does indefensable evidence prove?
To answer this PD writes:
It would prove nothing to you.
I may not be able to defend it to your satisfaction, but I can to mine or another creationist.
This is where the reader or opponent makes their own decision.
So the truth is not important, only that which satisfies is important.
I guess I am not completely following you on this. Are you saying that someone's "evidence" should not be countered just because it is evidence enough for them?
I doubt that you mean that. If we followed that rule then why do we lock up the insane? I mean, obviously they have evidence that is good enough for them that they are sane.
The BTK killer shouldn't be in jail because a church deacon wouldn't do that! That is evidence of his innocence...good enough for some!
Actually, I thought you were arguing that the way the evidence was countered is the problem, not the fact that it was countered at all. I would have to agree with you there.

Hey pastor! Where do we set up the Deuteronomy 23:1 inspection station?

There is no way God would have just PUT fossils there.
Why not? (probably off-topic anyway)

Re: How the fossils got there
When I asked why God couldn't have just put the fossils in the rocks, you stated..."Because Creation was finished in[sic] the sixth day. I don't see how this precludes God from putting fossils in the rocks when He built the Earth.

2) It is out of keeping with the character of God in the Bible. And please don't ask me to prove his character as it is based on the entire Bible and would be a huge undertaking.
I guess my starting another thread about God's character in the area of deceitfulness would not interest you then.
