    This is the question I have!

    U-238 decays into Pb-206; U-235 decays into Pb-207. Pb-204 is not radiogenic

    Mt. St. Helens - "million of years" reduced to a few years - right before our eyes...

    First, this is irrelevant to the eruption of Mount St. Helens. Second, the author of your link ought to write this up into a proper paper and submit it to a geological journal. They will not get anywhere by putting it on Facebook or onto an internet creation-evolution forum.

    Oldest rock in the world 2 days after creation (embedded age)

    Zircon is a mineral, not a rock. However, it normally occurs in igneous rocks, and its age is the age of the igneous rock in which it crystallised.

    Oldest rock in the world 2 days after creation (embedded age)

    Lead is a chalcophilic element; it does not occur naturally in silicate minerals such as zircons. (The chief ore of lead is the sulfide mineral galena.) Do you think that God would put lead into uranium-bearing zircons in order to deceive geologists into thinking that the lead had been produced...

    Was Charles Darwin a fraud?

    What grounds do you have for thinking that the theory may be false? Specifically, what is the evidence against it?

    Was Charles Darwin a fraud?

    Fish and amphibians are both vertebrates. Protozoa are eukaryotic single-celled organisms; viruses are not even cellular organisms, let alone eukaryotes.

    10,000 year old site in Oregon found

    Strictly speaking, carbon-14 decays at a constant rate of half of its number of atoms every 5568 years.

    10,000 year old site in Oregon found

    First, scientists have subjected radioactive elements to extremes of temperature, pressure, magnetic fields, etc. far beyond those that occur in the Earth's crust, without producing any change in their decay rates. These experiments have provided the evidence that you require to support the...

    10,000 year old site in Oregon found

    Ever since the 1950s, U-Pb dating of terrestrial rocks and meteorites has consistently yielded ages in the range 4550±50 million years for the solar system (including the Earth). Would you like to explain how it has managed to do this if it is as flawed as you say.

    Evolution is a scientific theory, not a religious doctrine. That is why it should be taught in schools. Most Christians accept the evidence for evolution.

    Was Charles Darwin a fraud?

    How do you account for the evidence from biogeography, palaeontology, embryology and morphology that Darwin used to support his theory? In particular, the fossil evidence shows beyond doubt that terrestrial life in earlier geological era was very different from present-day life. When you say...

    Where are the current ripples from Noah's Flood?

    God is supposed to be omniscient. Since He knows everything, He must have known beforehand that Noah and his descendants would go to the bad, would commit even worse crimes than their antedilluvian ancestors, and, in particular, that they would inflict the great evils of drunkenness and slavery...

    Where are the current ripples from Noah's Flood?

    Where does the Bible say that lunar eclipses are caused by the Moon passing through the Earth's shadow.? Revelation 6:12 implies that they are miraculous signs of the imminence of the end of the world. Some people still believe that.

    Where are the current ripples from Noah's Flood?

    Revelation 6:12 shows no more understanding of the causes of eclipses than the lizard/moon story.

    Where are the current ripples from Noah's Flood?

    That seems very foolish of him. God could have saved himself a great deal of trouble if he had drowned everybody, Noah and his family included. There would have been no need of the crucifixion of Jesus, no heresy hunts or witch hunts, and no necessity of creating a new heaven and a new earth.
