Looks like an anthology of Creationism's Greatest Mistakes. Ooh look, it's even got " Joshua’s Long Day" in it!

Re: Too too funny.
what a ridiculous comment. If there are legends and myths worldwide that seem to validate the Biblical account, and I don't know if there are, but if there are then it is good evidence.
Actually, you have it the wrong way round. The legends and myths in the Bible validate the truth of the Puranas.

Evolutionist Stephen J. Gould clearly stated that there are no transitional fossils.
This is not true. In fact he clearly stated that transitional fossils are abundant and that creationists who misrepresent him on this point are either morons or liars: "Since we proposed punctuated equilibria to explain trends, it is infuriating to be quoted again and again by creationistswhether through design or stupidity, I do not know as admitting that the fossil record includes no transitional forms. Transitional forms are generally lacking at the species level, but they are abundant between larger groups."
If you have to tell obvious and childish lies to support your position, doesn't that indicate that your position is completely wrong?

Here's a quote from Colin Patterson, an evolutionist, (former) senior paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History:
Would that be the same Colin Patterson who outside of the fantasy world in your head wrote "In several animal and plant groups, enough fossils are known to bridge the wide gaps between existing types. In mammals, for example, the gap between horses, asses and zebras (genus Equus) and their closest living relatives, the rhinoceroses and tapirs, is filled by an extensive series of fossils extending back sixty-million years to a small animal, Hyracotherium, which can only be distinguished from the rhinoceros-tapir group by one or two horse-like details of the skull. There are many other examples of fossil 'missing links', such as Archaeopteryx, the Jurassic bird which links birds with dinosaurs (Fig. 45), and Ichthyostega, the late Devonian amphibian which links land vertebrates and the extinct choanate fishes ..." (Colin Patterson, "Evolution" 1978, Routledge & Kegan Paul Ltd.)
Anyway, I don't want to argue now about what is the right way to interpret Gould's words.
Yeah, that is indeed a discussion that you would be well-advised to run away from as fast as your little legs will carry you.
If there are transitional fossils, where are they hidden?
They're not hidden. All the dumb lies of creationists have not succeeded in hiding them.

See, this is what happens when you have an actual dialogue with actual non-believers: their knowledge of the facts, and your profound lack of knowledge, makes you look like an ignorant charlatan.
