Requoted from message 13:

Of primary importance is the fact that evidence is always subject to interpretation by fallible people who do not possess all information."

Focusing in on "...evidence is always subject to interpretation by fallible people who do not possess all information."

I think that the fundimental failing of the fundimentalist creationist viewpoint is a refusal to recognise that "the content of the Bible has been and is subject to input by and interpretation by fallible people who do not possess all information."

Are you trying to explain impact craters as being indeed volcanic calderas?

I think the characteristics of the two are clearly distinguishable.

And what does this have to do with the evolution/creation debate?

thats why i asked if that if they can be, how you could, and then that they shoud be tested.

To have a volcanic caldera, you must first have a volcano. If there are no volcanic rocks present, that eliminates it being a caldera.

Even if volcanic rocks are present, impact structures show characteristics such as high pressure formed minerals and related fracture patterns.
