Did you know that the geological column was devised before carbon dating, rubidium dating or other methods used for dating rocks. Fossils were placed in time periods such as Cretaceous, Jurassic, Triassic etc. The dates of these time periods were just pulled out of thin air.
If you want to have a serious discussion on ATS you need to provide proof. And real proof, not a blogticle.
Eminent evolutionary scientists admit that there is no evidence for evolution in the fossil record - see quotes and other info in the video.
Again, real proof is needed. Not some wackadoo on a youtube video. youtube is never evidence. There should be a disclaimer that it is entertainment purposes only. Unless an official comes out and verifies it.
See how a boot, a hat and even a pickle in a jar have become petrified (stonelike) in days, months or years - not millions of years - just years. Wood can become petrified in days.

See how kids are being lied to in an effort to perpetuate the myth of evolution.
This process of petrifying is not to be confused with petrification wherein the constituent molecules of the original object are replaced (and not merely overlaid) with molecules of stone or mineral.
I don't think it is the textbooks doing the lying.
This thing with the petrifying well is perfect proof that creationists grab onto whatever information they can and go "SEE!" the scientists are wrong! And you end up looking bad.
Because long ago scientists already figured out the secrets of the petrifying well. Creationists REALLY need to do actual homework before spewing out information as fact.
In the science community, if your gonna claim something you better be able to back it up. Even then, you will have peers who will discredit it, debate it, and turn it on its head.
So by the time something comes to public, it has been deeply scrutinized adn debated, unless the media gets a hold of it first.
Darwin waited 20 years to release his discoveries. Being a religious man himself, he felt that that releasing this information would be like admitting to murder. And it had something to do with his wife's belief.
To be put into such a predictament. To be a scientist to discover something that totallly goes against your beliefs. But you can't keep it to yourself.
And to hold that in, debating with yourself for 20 years before deciding to release the information. If he chose to never release it at all, I wonder how long we would of waited?
Darwin is a prime example of someone who had to mix faith and science.
I was watching a show of a dinosaur found not to long ago that actually had fossilized organs. (someone will know what I am talking about) but I can't remember what it was called.
One of the head researchers was a priest. Sitting there collar and all. not only is he is priest but a very reputable paleontologist. He was like a kid on christmas exploring this dinosaur. He had no trouble admitting it was millions upon millions of years old.
I would love to sit down and have a beer with that guy. His brain has to be so much fun.
