Here's a challenge for you. Could be a lot simpler one too. All you need to do is find a certain bible quote and a world renown skeptic will put it on the masthead of the The Skeptical Review:
quote:
Produce an Old Testament statement that prophesies of the resurrection of the Messiah in language too clear to be misunderstood, and I will publish it on the masthead of *The Skeptical Review* from now on as long as this paper continues to be published. Produce an Old Testament prophecy of the resurrection of the Messiah on the third day, and I will immediately cease publication of *The Skeptical Review.* I would think that this is an offer that loyal inerrantists would find hard to refuse.
The above offer is from Farrell Till, editor of the Skeptical Review and was made in 1996 - to date it has not been met. See if you can be the first.
The point is anybody can make such psuedo challenges, and the funny thing is none of them ever get claimed. In the 1800's a Scottish Flat Earth Society member made a 10,000 Pound offer if anybody could prove that the world was round. A prominent scientist claimed to have proved it and demanded the money. Eventually he sued in court to recover the prize. He never collected. Does that prove that the earth is flat?
With respect to Dr. Dino's prize, I wonder why he isn't willing to submit the judging of his prize to a court of law, or an independent panel where both sides get to pick their arbitrators? I would think that the UC San Diego biology team's recent discoveries proving the possibility of macro-evolution and how it could easily come about in the transformation of crustacean to insect should be significant proof for anyone with an ability to reason.
