Dear WILLOWTREE
Request number seven or so.
Still waiting for an answer to the question asked in Message 128.
Once we get that settled we can go on to the next question.
Is this something you're not capable of answering?

Bump for WILLOWTREE
Request number eight or so.

Since you have not yet answered the first question, I thought I'd ask the second question. Perhaps it might help you.
John's wife is annoyed by his habit of piling coins so she decides to keep track of his behaviour. Every time he starts a pile, or moves coins from the first to the second pile, she makes a mark on a paper.
When I drop by I find that she has made five marks on the paper. Does that record agree with the evidence from the coin piles?

Re: Tar pits???
Well, WILLOWTREE, I've been to the La Brea Tar Pits (lived just a few miles north) about several dozen times and they never made such claims about dinosaurs when I was there. In addition, the critters they showed were not dinosaurs.
By the way, how about an answer to the questions I've asked you eight times now. Or is this like the LLM, yet another claim that you will simply walk away from?

Re: Tar pits???
I am willing to believe that WILLOWTREE can misunderstand anything. But he's claiming that he went to the La Brea Tar Pits. That's reasonable since just about every school kid in the LA Basin will have a trip to the tar pits. They are a wonderous place. The hills around are dotted with the booms of oil wells, those offshore are desguised to look like tropical islands. The pits look more like a lake, amazingly harmless. It's easy to imagine people, mamouths and saber tooth tigers wandering into them, becoming trapped and drowning.
But the displays there are very clear. They involve animals, mammals, not dinosaurs. The La Brea Tar Pits didn't even exist when the dinosaurs were around.
From the home page of the Page Museum
The Page Museum is located at the Rancho La Brea Tar Pits in the heart of Los Angeles. Rancho La Brea is one of the world’s most famous fossil localities, recognized for having the largest and most diverse assemblage of extinct Ice Age plants and animals in the world. Visitors can learn about Los Angeles as it was between 10,000 and 40,000 years ago, during the last Ice Age, when animals such as saber-toothed cats and mammoths roamed the Los Angeles Basin.
The other possibility is that he may have attended one of the sessions held regularly at the Tar Pits on general fossil themes. They do hold sessions on dinosaurs there. But the dinosaurs were not from the Tar Pit. They would be from some other location, some other era.
The reference to the Red Hand and Red Tape is yet another example of WILLOWTREE simply not being able to read and understand the source. He cannot read and understand the Bible any more than any other source. As an example, he believes that the questions I ask are trick or loaded questions. They're not. They are simply the basics of how dating is done.
If he is not capable of understanding even the simple examples laid out here, if he is not capable of adding up the miles in the LLM, if he is incapable of reading the Bible, how can we expect him to understand what the tour guides tell him?
