What is the best explanation for Polystrate Fossils?

[Jonahdog]

Sorry... I was asking a question.

Are there any fossils forming today?

Fossils require very special conditions to form. Dead plants and animals do not normally leave fossils.

The fact that there are many fossils worldwide is confirmation of a global flood. I know that you will disagree.

Yes, and I asked a question back to see if you had an answer to the question you posed. Yes fossils require very special conditions to form, dead plants and animals do not normally leave fossils.

The fact that there are many fossils worldwide is could be confirmation that the earth is mucho old, much, much more than Biblically old, billions of years old.

The evidence provided by science supports billions of years.

Nope... the evidence "provided by science" does not support billions of years. Your bias forces you to chose that "option", even though it has many, many problems.

The many fossils are much more readily explained by a... global flood.

Well, in language my wife uses when teaching high school "I'd agree with you but then we would both be wrong."

I can see that actually discussing science and facts is a problem for you. So instead you try to be cute. Are you in her high school class?

[Bioclastic limestone] cannot be formed in a single global flood.

But you're not going to explain why.

Do you even have a handle on the fundamentals?

What three things are required to make a rock? What are the three necessary processes?

Problem is that you are unable to discuss science because your "acience" needs to be filtered through Scripture. And no, I am not in her high school class. Although she has said that to me in the 50+ years we have been married.

Please tell us the 3 things, please.

 

[JudgeRightly]

Please tell us the 3 things, please.

Do you not know them?

 

[Stripe]

Please tell us the 3 things, please.

Nah. You can stay ignorant. :up:

 

[Jonahdog]

Do you not know them?

Nope, but stripe won't tell me. Maybe you can. 3 things required to make rock

False accusations do not help your case. Your "science" needs to be filtered through your materialist world-view.

She's right to say that.

well, science is not supernatural. So what is the issue?

And, do you know the 3 things required to make rock and will you tell me?

And yes, she is often (not always) right.

 

[Right Divider]

well, science is not supernatural. So what is the issue?

Science is neither supernatural nor natural. You try to stack the deck, but we know better.

The best scientific explanation for many fossils all over the earth is a global flood and not some long, slow and gradual process.

Science is the study of the natural world. And the 3 things required to form rock?

• No... science simply means knowledge. Natural science is the study of the natural world. There are other non-natural sciences... like the science of logic. You cannot find logic in the material world.
• Ask Stripe, I didn't say anything about it.

You asked me if I knew stripe's 3 things required to make rock, I said no, I thought perhaps you knew. If you do please tell me, if you don't then tell me that as well

No, I didn't. Read the posts more carefully. You might be referring to Judge Rightly.

If you do please tell me, if you don't then tell me that as well

I was not involved in that topic and had no interest in being involved in that topic.

Yeah, sorry, got you confused with someone else re stripe's 3 rock forming methods.

I'm not going to play a semantic game with you. If you wish to define "science" as knowledge then there can be a "science" of anything. Woodworking, as I sit at a wooden table, and broadly defined you are correct. But that is simply a word game. I take "science" with a more restrictive definition. I take it to be the study of the natural world. I have no idea whether you can find "logic" in the material world, nor do I care at the moment to become embroiled in some philosophical discussion. It is clear, that the natural sciences if you will, do not support your version of the earth's history.

That's not "my definition", it's actually what the word means.

Woodworking, as I sit at a wooden table, and broadly defined you are correct. But that is simply a word game. I take "science" with a more restrictive definition.

Indeed, you've tried to limit science to only the material world so that you can "win" the argument.

I take it to be the study of the natural world.

So you do not believe that logic is a valid science?

How about mathematics? Is that not "real science"? You cannot find mathematics in the material world either.

I have no idea whether you can find "logic" in the material world, nor do I care at the moment to become embroiled in some philosophical discussion.

It is best that you avoid rational discussion, otherwise your ideas are exposed for the broken mess that they really are.

It is clear, that the natural sciences if you will, do not support your version of the earth's history.

That is a claim that you cannot support. Otherwise you might have actually tried.

 

[Jonahdog]

Sorry RD but discussing science with someone who must trust a Holy Scripture no matter what and who buys Walt Brown's fantasy is doomed from the start because your side needs no evidence for Scripture (other than the self serving document itself--no matter what the particular religious document is) and Brown ignores evidence to lend support to a few Bible verses and makes up the rest.
