New Topic on ICR video?
Perhaps Buzz can start a new topic on it. He could present the individual pieces of ICR evidence one at a time.

The point is it that it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter how it is stated by scientists. It is up to all of us to examine the reason why any statement is made. We should understand how a conclusion was arrived at and decide for ourselves how much speculation and how much fact is involved in it.

Another hit against Faith thesis too
I note Holmes that the summary of that paper is yet another refutation of Faiths idea about "interpretations" being offered as "fact".
In about 5 sentences we see:
quote:
... that are commonly interpreted as suture zones...
quote:
...suggest that fabrics related to assembly...
quote:
... the agreement between these data sets suggests that...
quote:
... and may record assembly of...
quote:
...geochronologic data suggest that...
quote:
...we propose that ... may have involved a complex...
This reaally puts the lie to the kind of nonsense that some here are spouting.
And then we have this wonderful line!!! Worthy of a lite POTM and really caps off the entire debate:
Faith writes:
You can't require me to read an entire article, holmes.
Oh dear, an entire article.

Same "kind" so makes no difference.
Or was that a jackass? I forget.
See the post title (hint, hint at using appropriate post titles !!! )
