Before I start going into this, I would just like to point out to those with a firm grip on reality that it is incredibly silly that we are arguing whether humans and dinosaurs lived in the same time period. Seriously, what is up with some people? OK.MatYahu wrote:Frigidus,
Lionz didn't put up just a picture of a lizard monster but many of the images he posted depict dinosaurs like the stegosaurus, and the Triceratops. It can be wondered how these ancient peoples had such knowledge of how these various dinosaurs might of looked. My point is the pics are not "just lizard monsters" but recognizable dinosaurs. These pictures do at the very least provide a logical premise that could help us draw the conclusion of whether or not man and dinosaurs have walked the earth together. Its not illogical to believe that ancient depictions of identifiable dinosaurs (and not just monsters) can be used as evidence for the theory at hand.
It isn't as if fossils only began popping up in the last 200 years or so. They've been coming to the surface practically since ever. There's already been some short discussion regarding fossils and tales of dragons. http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewto ... 8&t=108871 So... sorry, but a few pictures on some urns aren't evidence of very much.

Dr. Morris points out that evolutionists say man has been on earth for one million years. Our present population growth is 2% per year. Starting with one man and woman, it would take only 1100 years to get 6 billion living humans, but if we have been around for one million years, the number of humans would have been 108600. [Morris, p. 70] That number is greater than the number of particles in the universe which is about 1080, according to Sir Arthur Eddington, a British astrophysicist. Of course, 108600 is a ridiculous example of uniformitarianism in this situation, but it does point out some difficulties for long ages.

What, by evolution?Lionz wrote:Dinosaurs were written about hundreds of years ago and you missed stuff towards top of page 31 maybe. Do you want to learn more about a particular image? Various species including species of fish have arisen since the flood perhaps.
Not just that, but super fast evolution. You can't really fit all of the organisms that couldn't survive a planet covering flood into one boat, so we must assume that they cropped up in the few thousand years since.jonesthecurl wrote:So let me get this right, there's been evolution since the Flood?

No, because Shakespeare works do not reproduce. There is a continuous lineage of genes, so we can expect that they would be passed down through the ages.Lionz wrote:If you were to check out five Shakespeare books from a library and the word gentlewoman showed up in each over twenty times, would that suggest to you that they evolved from eachother?
Phylogenetic analysis of homologous genes links up all living creatures to a universal ancestor. I won't give you an exact list of the genes that go all the way back. But we do find that wolves share certain genes; wolves and cats share fewer genes; wolves and cats share fewer genes with snakes; wolves, cats, and snakes share fewer genes with starfish; wolves, cats, snakes, and starfish share fewer genes with roses. Similarly, roses share fewer genes with apples; roses and apples share fewer genes with pines; etc. etc. This suggests common ancestry. Additionally, you share genes with your father. You share fewer genes with your grandfather. You share fewer genes with your great-grandfather (not the best metaphor, but a simple one).Lionz wrote:If genetics can be used to argue for common ancestry or common design, what really suggests wolves and roses have common ancestry?

Tree-ring studies have been a staple of anthropological investigation in the American Southwest[2] since the early decades of this century and in Europe since World War II. The bristlecone pine chronology of the American Southwest now exceeds 8500 years with the possibility that up to 3000 floating years will be added in the reasonably near future. The European oak and pine chronology, a composite of work done in Germany and Northern Ireland, is now over 11,000 years long.
We have about 6000 years of chronologies spread out over the last 9500 years in a region bounded by the Turkish-Georgian frontier in the east, the mountains of North Lebanon in the south, including all of Turkey, Cyprus, Greece, parts of Bulgaria and (the former) Yugoslavia, and extending to the instep of the Italian boot at Mt. Pollino in Calabria.
That wasn't particularly convincing. Considering the source, I'd say the author actually did a pretty good job. He essentially conceded that dendrochronology is very difficult to argue against from a scientific perspective. Did you get a different feeling from that?
The quotes I posted above discuss trees that lived over 5000 years ago that were dated via tree ring counting.Lionz wrote:Is there a single tree anywhere, dead or alive, that has been dated over 5,000 years with tree ring dating?

I don't particularly know much about the details, but it's a hypothesis I've heard before, and I don't doubt the possibility of it's veracity. I do know that artistic depictions of dragons do not match up with dinosaur anatomy very accurately. It's a very superficial resemblance.Lionz wrote:Do you theorize that humans found dinosaur bones hundreds of years ago and used them to portray dinosaurs in artwork?
Citing sources is always a positive thing. I don't think applying our current population growth to past population growth is an accurate depiction of history. For example, do you think human population growth was the same during the years the plague ravaged Europe? Would it be accurate to say that our population growth with our advanced medical knowledge and technology will compare to that of ancient Egyptians'? I think the simple answer is "no." I'm not able to do the math, but that seems like a fatal flaw in the author's math.

The same methods to date fossils can be used to date rocks. Instead of going back to the death of the animal, radiometric dating will go back to when the rock formed.

It's good to always be skeptical, though, even of yourself. Plenty of scientists have fallen prey to thinking they are being objective when they really aren't. It just means that we all have to be careful and try to help each other out.The Colorado River delta itself is quite extensive. It covers 3325 square miles
(8612 square kilometers) (Sykes, 1937), and is up to 3.5 miles (5.6 km) deep (Jenning
and Thompson, 1986), containing over 10,000 cubic miles of the Colorado River's
sediments from the last 2 to 3 million years. The sediments that were deposited by the
river more than 2 to 3 million years ago have been shifted northwestward by
movement along the San Andreas and related faults. (Winker & Kidwell, 1986)

I would say that in some areas, 1 cm/1000 years would be accurate. But it's not applicable to every local area. Well, sedimentary layers can always give us a relative date (top layers are younger), but the flood layering also looks a certain way, so we can often tell what layers were deposited by floods, and what layers were deposited by other phenomenon.Lionz wrote:I have been suggesting that single floods can lay down multiple sedimentary layers perhaps. I'm not claiming that a non-global flood can't lead to there being polystrate fossils, but I'm also not claiming that it has ever taken thousands of years for a foot of sedimentary layers to form. Do you theorize that it has? Has a single flood layed down over a dozen sedimentary layers meters apart? If so, what can sedimentary layers really tell us about how old anything is?
I disagree with you on this point. If you filled a bathtub with water from three spigots and then let dirt settle on the bottom, it would still settle in a certain form. This would change as it drained, sure, but it would still leave a very specific patter all over the bathtub.Lionz wrote:Fountains broke open in certain places and we should not expect to find a single identical layer of sediment across the earth by any means perhaps.
Yes. In geology texts, the term used is "upright fossils"Lionz wrote:Does that Geology page or whatever actually say that a single fossil is running through multiple layers of strata?
I think you may have mistyped. A cubic foot of water is a little more than a gallon or two. A cubic mile would not be sufficient either. Do you mean a foot of water all over the earth?Lionz wrote:I'm not claiming there was a preflood earth with no mountains, but would a cubic foot of water not theoretically be able to cover a perfect sphere larger than the earth? Earth has even expanded in size and used to be smaller maybe.
That is a different type of phenomenon, but I'm not familiar with that particular example. Do you have a link I can look at? Also, how would that translate to a large flow of water?Lionz wrote:Did the Mt. St. Helens eruption not produce one or more meandering canyon in 1980?

We should step back and honestly ask ourselves if we simply see superficial resemblances to dinosaurs on page 31 maybe.It has long been known that individual tree rings can be changed, during growth, from the climate-signal-dictated size to a different size as a result of some disturbance. This disturbance (for example, insect attack, earthquake, release of gas, etc.) can make the ring either smaller or larger. If these disturbances occurred at sufficient frequency, and reappeared in sequence in other trees at later times, the actually-contemporaneous trees would crossmatch in an age-staggered manner, thus creating an artificial chronology.
For illustrative purposes, imagine the simplified situation of only three trees, (A), (B), and (C), which started growing at exactly the same time, and each of which lived exactly 500 years. If nothing happened, the tree-ring series would normally crossmatch according to climatic signal, with the crossmatch point starting with the first ring each of Tree (A), Tree (B), and Tree (C). All the constituents of the 3-tree chronology would overlap completely, creating a chronology that spans exactly 500 years.
Now suppose that an external disturbance causes rings 2, 6, 9, 14, etc., in Tree (A) to grow much bigger or smaller than they otherwise would. At about this time, rings 1, 7, 10, 13, etc. are perturbed in Tree (B). 300 years after the disturbance of the growth of the rings in Tree (A), the sequence of disturbances repeats in Tree (B), affecting rings 302, 306, 309, 314, etc. (The repetition doesn’t have to be exact, because the discrepancy can be covered by inferred missing rings, which are common in the BCP chronology). 400 years after the disturbances in the early rings of Tree (B), similar disturbances occur in Tree (C), affecting rings 401, 407, 410, 413, etc. Identical reasoning can be applied to many more trees, and over a much longer period of time.
The net result is the fact that Trees (A), (B), and (C) will no longer crossmatch across their 500-year common growth history. They will now only crossmatch at their ring-perturbed ends. The result is an illusory chronology that is 1200 years long. Crossmatching experiments that I had performed show that it is only necessary to disturb 2–3 rings per decade, sustained across at least a few decades, in order to override the climatic signal, and to cause the tree-ring series to artificially crossmatch at the ring-perturbed ends.
What do you refer to with other phenomenon if you said that? Is there sedimentary rock anywhere that has not been underwater?What we find in the Grand Canyon is more consistent with the Flood model than with the uniformitarian model. We observe the formation of Cocoino Sandstone in the top of the Grand Canyon which can linked with sandstones in New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas. When we look closer at the interface between layers in the Grand Canyon, we see little or no erosion which evolutionists claim to be many millions of years old. The average state of erosion on the continents would erode the layers to sea level in 10 million years. So the observational data is not even matching up to the evolutionist hypothesis of age.
In a flood especially a world wide flood, one would expect to find a highly diverse rock layer. And that's indeed what we find, as sedimentary rocks in the Grand Canyon are found all over the world, showing very little erosion between the layers. Evolutionists have noticed the regularity and parallelism of the layers which suggests the rocks were deposited in a single uninterrupted sequence. Something a flood could do. But their assumptions on how the fossils are dated are in direct conflict of what they see in the rocks themselves. So what conclusion do you think would an evolutionist take? Pretty obvious, he or she would take the dating of the fossils assumption instead. It's the main reason why many secular scientists try to deny the flood evidence. However, their denial doesn't change observational data.
Are there not technically upright fossils that do not traverse multiple layers of strata?A global flood would make a considerable and observable impression in the strata. One would expect to find a pattern consisting of buckling, bending, tilting, in the strata. Not a smooth flat layer. This would happen because of billions of tons of weight created by the flood would put an enormous amount of pressure on the earth's crust. The pressure would increase as the flood gets larger and larger, thereby creating downwards pressure, and also creating upwards and sideways pressure in non-flooded areas. When the flood regresses to post-flood levels, an imbalance of side pressure is created. Upwards pressure is also created when the massive weight created by the water flow is removed. Observational data reveals the geological model for the flood. The structure of the Pacific Ocean, Continental Divide, and Mississippi River Valley show the water had moved off the uplifting western United States, while seeing the water rushing toward the Pacific Ocean and down the east slopes of the Rockies. We also observe bent, and tilted strata in various parts of the world as the result of what the flood left behind.
