I guess it might fool children.
Why do you suppose that this sort of bullshit doesn't fool scientists, who, unlike children and creationists, are intimately familiar with the facts? People who, for example, know what "entropy" means, and who know that "scavengers" don't eat sharks' teeth?
Since its first appearance on Earth, life has taken many forms, all of which continue to evolve, in ways which palaeontology and the modern biological and biochemical sciences are describing and independently confirming with increasing precision. Commonalities in the structure of the genetic code of all organisms living today, including humans, clearly indicate their common primordial origin. --- Albanian Academy of Sciences; National Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences, Argentina; Australian Academy of Science; Austrian Academy of Sciences; Bangladesh Academy of Sciences; The Royal Academies for Science and the Arts of Belgium; Academy of Sciences and Arts of Bosnia and Herzegovina; Brazilian Academy of Sciences; Bulgarian Academy of Sciences; The Academies of Arts, Humanities and Sciences of Canada; Academia Chilena de Ciencias; Chinese Academy of Sciences; Academia Sinica, China, Taiwan; Colombian Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences; Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences; Cuban Academy of Sciences; Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic; Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters; Academy of Scientific Research and Technology, Egypt; Académie des Sciences, France; Union of German Academies of Sciences and Humanities; The Academy of Athens, Greece; Hungarian Academy of Sciences; Indian National Science Academy; Indonesian Academy of Sciences; Academy of Sciences of the Islamic Republic of Iran; Royal Irish Academy; Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities; Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, Italy; Science Council of Japan; Kenya National Academy of Sciences; National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic; Latvian Academy of Sciences; Lithuanian Academy of Sciences; Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts; Academia Mexicana de Ciencias; Mongolian Academy of Sciences; Academy of the Kingdom of Morocco; The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences; Academy Council of the Royal Society of New Zealand; Nigerian Academy of Sciences; Pakistan Academy of Sciences; Palestine Academy for Science and Technology; Academia Nacional de Ciencias del Peru; National Academy of Science and Technology, The Philippines; Polish Academy of Sciences; Académie des Sciences et Techniques du Sénégal; Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts; Singapore National Academy of Sciences; Slovak Academy of Sciences; Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts; Academy of Science of South Africa; Royal Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences of Spain; National Academy of Sciences, Sri Lanka; Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences; Council of the Swiss Scientific Academies; Academy of Sciences, Republic of Tajikistan; Turkish Academy of Sciences; The Uganda National Academy of Sciences; The Royal Society, UK; US National Academy of Sciences; Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences; Academia de Ciencias Físicas, Matemáticas y Naturales de Venezuela; Zimbabwe Academy of Sciences; The Caribbean Academy of Sciences; African Academy of Sciences; The Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS); The Executive Board of the International Council for Science (ICSU).
But yes, you might deceive a few children by reciting nonsense about subjects that you've never bothered to study. Are you proud of yourself?
Thou shalt not bear false witness --- The Eighth Commandment
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. --- Jesus

Re: Wheely: Last Reply
I never suggested that scavengers eat teeth. I was saying that if an animal was to die, with a combination of scavengers, entropy and the elements the animal will be gone before it can be encased into a layer of sediment and fossilized.
You are, of course, wrong.
I wonder what you think entropy is?
Also that big paragraph you posted: Most of that consists of ”Academic Institutions’. What exactly the point of writing that? Just because an academy of science says something doesn’t make it true.
Right. The facts make it true --- and scientists look at the facts. Unlike you.
Perhaps your argument was to suggest that since the majority of the academy of sciences support the ”evolution theory’ as doctrine, that makes it true. Well, science is about the study of the natural world, not supporting the majority’s interpretation.
Right. And these are the people who, unlike you, spend their lives in the study the natural world, and don't support creationism.
The fact that the many ”Academy of Sciences’ support and teach ”evolution’ proves that.
Petitio principii much?
Compare with the following analogous debate:
You: There are no skyscrapers in New York.
Me: Everyone who's ever seen New York agrees that there are skyscrapers there.
You: Just because people who've seen New York say something doesn't make it true. The fact that they say there are skyscrapers in New York proves that.
Why don't you just stick your fingers in your ears and have done with it?
The study of the natural world provides us with the results that support God and the associated biblical claims. (Genesis creation account, Global Flood account, etc)
There's no point in reciting this garbage to me; unlike you, I am familiar with the evidence. Save it for the kids. You might fool some of 'em.
You have never studied the natural world, have you? Scientists have. What you have studied is dumb creationist propaganda. This is why everything you think you know about science is absurdly false.
