Re: aesearcRe: Schweitzer
No, Chuck77
I did mess up the quote function on the first quote and included someone else’s comments with yours. This happened because the quotes in original message were incorrect. I apologize for that.
I continue to find it very strange that you’ve referred to an article written on soft dinosaur tissue, where the name of the researcher, Dr. Schweitzer, is prominently mentioned several times, but then you claim you’ve never of heard of her before. You, yourself wrote that you’ve never heard of her before, here:

Thanks for the info Dr Adequate. I never heard of her before and find this REALLY interesting. Are you SURE she was a TRUE YEC?
Did you mean that you’ve never heard of her before you read that article?
She’s been working for quite a few years now. In fact, I remember reading one of her articles in 2005. That’s why it is unbelievable that a creationist can claim, in 2011, that he’s never heard of her before. Creationists have continually been distorting her research for years.

Re: Schweitzer
It could be true, Wounded King, but what I find so unconvincing about it is that the soft dino tissue is perceived by creationists as one of their star 'evidences' they claim to have for a young earth. It usually is one of the first 'arguments' they present. That's how I got to know about her years ago; I was referred to her work by a creationist! (He also missed the word "fossilized" in her research).

Re: aesearcRe: Schweitzer
Hi Chuck77
I believe you when you say that you've never heard of Dr. Schweitzer. I did not try to say that you are a liar. I just find it very unusual for a staunch creationist to have never heard of Dr. Schweitzer and her work.
I tried to convey the message that very hard creationists who come to forums like these, usually are liars.
You, however, seem to be one of the victims of creationist lies. You keep on believing creationists, even after being pointed to examples of their lying. I think that you've never questioned creationism, because of your fear of hell.
Chuck77, you don't realize that the overwhelming majority of Christian scientists also accept the Theory of Evolution and an old earth as facts. You, personally, can't put the two together, but the vast majority of Christian scientists have done it and see absolutely no conflict at all!
Creationists pretend to do science and you believe them, notwithstanding reality. You don't have enough knowledge to realize that their pseudo-science is actually a very profitable industry. They make a lot of money out of your ignorance. Education can change your perception and open up a whole new world for you.

Hi Mazzy
There's nothing rude in pointing out the fact that creationists lie. You were shown exactly where they lie.
Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. By pointing out the lies, hopefully a few creationists would be shocked out of their delusion.
As for the horns part of your post, I don't really know what you mean by it.
Anyway, my local rugby team is called the Blue Bulls. Sometimes I do go to the rugby stadium with real bulls' horns glued to the blue plastic helmet I wear. Just to show my support. Thousand of us do it over here.
What's your problem with horns, anyway? Lots of animals do grow them, naturally. Unfortunately humans don't. I would actually enjoy going to the rugby with two natural blue horns growing out of my skull. I would then really be a proud Blue Bull!
