I think Mr. Comfort is telling the truth when he said there's nothing really there to add.
What we saw in the interview is the main course.
What were the chances you'd be in here defending 'Mr Comfort'....
why are so wrap up with Mr. Comfort?
Im not here to defend him but defend Creation.
Probably because that is the entire basis of this thread....a video that Comfort made.
Ummm... No.
It's about Evolution vs. God.
Why are you people so wrapped up with Mr. Comfort?
Do you find comfort in attacking the man?

the gaps in the fossil record disprove evolution but the logic gaps in the theological record don't disprove a literal interpretation of the bible?

Man Christians don't get on here and try to argue evolution with you because the fact is there are facts on both sides of the argument, and gaps on both sides of the argument. At the end of the day people pick a side they believe. Christians get on here because they truly believe that God will rapture his church one day, and they do not want you to miss out. That is why they come on here, and we do not believe that we will be the ones the change your mind.

Where you there? To state that as an absolute then you have to observe it. You were not there and you don't think it possible, but I think God can do whatever God's wants to do. Why would God have people reveal false teachings in the sacred texts about Him? He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone.
I also love the statements that God does not exist because that would mean you are God because you have been everywhere and know everything, and thus that statement you are claiming to be God thus nullifying your declaration that there is no God.

I think I have read more than enough. I spent years in school learning all about evolution. You continue to show adaptation as if that proves changing from one kind of animal into another kind. They are still birds, lizards, fish, bacteria.
I wish you would realize this and simply admit there is zero proof of macro evolution. You won't so the debate goes on and on.

So you "have no problem with the earth being millions of years old" yet argue the biblical timeline of the days of creation to be accurate because we weren't there to observe.
Now per the days of creation, man and land animals were day number 6.
You have stated that you look to science for specifics on how layers and sedimentation prove trees and animals are not as old as scientists say.
So, if all land animals AND man were created on the same day, where are the fossils of man lying next to a dinosaur, or ANY land animal from that long ago?
Hitler was all for evolution and in his mind he was doing us all a favor by getting rid of those who are not as fit to live.
Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection describes the propagation of hereditary traits due to the varying "success" of organisms in reproducing. Basing a moral philosophy on natural selection makes about as much sense as basing morality on the theory of gravitational success: rocks rolling down the furthest are the best rocks.

Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's minister of propaganda, noted in his diary in 1939: "The Fuehrer is deeply religious, but deeply anti-Christian. He regards Christianity as a symptom of decay. Rightly so. It is a branch of the Jewish race."
Schweitzer, one of the first scientists to use the tools of modern cell biology to study dinosaurs, has upended the conventional wisdom by showing that some rock-hard fossils tens of millions of years old may have remnants of soft tissues hidden away in their interiors. “The reason it hasn’t been discovered before is no right-thinking paleontologist would do what Mary did with her specimens. We don’t go to all this effort to dig this stuff out of the ground to then destroy it in acid,” says dinosaur paleontologist Thomas Holtz Jr., of the University of Maryland. “It’s great science.” The observations could shed new light on how dinosaurs evolved and how their muscles and blood vessels worked. And the new findings might help settle a long-running debate about whether dinosaurs were warmblooded, coldblooded—or both.
Meanwhile, Schweitzer’s research has been hijacked by “young earth” creationists, who insist that dinosaur soft tissue couldn’t possibly survive millions of years. They claim her discoveries support their belief, based on their interpretation of Genesis, that the earth is only a few thousand years old. Of course, it’s not unusual for a paleontologist to differ with creationists. But when creationists misrepresent Schweitzer’s data, she takes it personally: she describes herself as “a complete and total Christian.” On a shelf in her office is a plaque bearing an Old Testament verse: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Anyone can claim a religion to further their goals and use it to subjugate a people. Hitler was not a Christian as one would view the command to love one another, to respect life above all. Hitler was a theosophist which openly worships Satan.
According to an interview with a British correspondent years after the First World War, Hitler claimed a mysterious voice told him to leave a section of a crowded trench during a minor barrage. Moments after he left the trench, a shell fell on that particular spot. Hitler saw this experience as a message that he was a uniquely illuminated individual who had a special task to fulfill.[28] This story did not, however, appear in Mein Kampf.
In 1922, a decade before his ascension to power, Hitler stated before a crowd in Munich:
"My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. As a Christian, I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice."
