kodiak;2072104 It wouldn't only be a discussion of Jones said:
I noticed that Angela53510 "Liked" your post about Jones' book. Which is amusing to me since Jones is a KJV Onlyist and says that Jesus and the apostles never quoted from the Septuagint (LXX), which is not what Angela53510 said.

Dr. Jones is good buddies with Carl Baugh. They did a bunch of videos together. Baugh created fake evidence of dinosaurs and humans coexisting. He is a fraud. A credible source of that information is Dr. Gary Hurd, who has posted in these forums.

Sure, we can talk about the people in Jones' book who came up with dates for creation.

First of all, when did those people come up with those dates for creation?

Second, why do the dates vary by more than 1500 years if the "bible" is without error?

Third, does a date of 5.500 BC compared to a date of 4,000 BC matter much to YECs?

Look jack, I am not here to argue with you, I just want to know how you get past the Bible with all this info/chronologies. To me it seems like I would be questioning the knowledge of God. It even appears that Jesus, in the Bible, taught the world was young. I just don't see how someone can say this without rejecting the Bible.
It wouldn't only be a discussion of Jones, did you see the list of people he cited that came up with dates for creation? I just want to know how you can interpret the Bible so differently than the chronologies.
1)I noticed that Angela53510 "Liked" your post about Jones' book. Which is amusing to me since Jones is a KJV Onlyist and says that Jesus and the apostles never quoted from the Septuagint (LXX), which is not what Angela53510 said.

Before we get into this, I am going to repeat that I do not want to argue with you.
1) Red herring....Just because we believe the evidence one guy gives, does not mean we believe everything he gives evidence for. In order to be informed, it is important for us to be able to determine what arguments are valid, not just trust everything one person says.
2)ad hominem- If the guy is a fraud, it should be easy for you to explain why his information is wrong.

3) Did you read the book? It says right on that page some of the reasons.....(it is not because the Bible is in error)

Yes, I did read that book by Dr. Floyd Jones, and several others he wrote.

I don't trust much of anything that Dr. Jones says.

He has said that the only translation that is the word of God is the KJV and all the others have been corrupted by Satan.

Do you agree with that?

Dr. Jones has been complicit in Carl Baugh's fraud pertaining to fossil footprints allegedly proving that dinosaurs coexisted.

Dr. Gard Hurd documents it thoroughly, and I happen to believe it after studying the evidence. I have linked to two of his articles, which you can follow to more documenting numerous instances of fraud. You will note that the first article starts out with: "Baugh is best known for his unaccredited degrees and his many fraudulent evidences that humans and dinosaurs coexisted."

Stones and Bones: Carl Baugh's latest Fake

Stones and Bones: Baugh's Fake Foot, Round 2

Various individuals have used the chronologies in the bible to come up with dates for creation that vary more than 1500 years. I'm certainly not going to take Dr. Jones word for it that he used the right bible and has determined the correct chronology. He has no credibility as far as I am concerned.

So who does have the correct date for creation and what bible is the right bible to use to determine same?

Does it matter whether the date for creation is around 3800 BC or around 5500 BC?

Of course it does not matter to many Christians who do not take the Genesis account literally.

Hey, Jack! Just for fun, why don't you join in the OSAS thread!

I think you have pretty much beat this dead horse into its grave. And most did not listen to a single post!

Good idea.

You YECs should focus on a dead horse.

If you could find a 50-million-year-old horse fossil and it looked like American Pharaoh, you could refute evolutionists who say the modern horse evolved from Eohippus, the size of a small dog.

Are you telling me that scientists can not determine that a dinosaur fossil is older than around 6,000 years old?

Are you telling me that scientists can not determine that the earth is older than around 6,000 years old?

it seems that way except by assumptions and fudge and fraud - wincam

You don't know if Ben Carson is a YEC or not?

You don't care what your candidate, based upon your avatar, thinks about an issue that seems to be important to you?

LOL.

Yes, I have said very little about evolution. Like I said, kodiak brought it up before I ever did on this thread.

For a very good reason.

Anybody who does not understand that the world is billions of years old and not 6,000, that dinosaurs did not coexist with humans, and that there was not a global flood around 4,500 BC has no hope of understanding evolution.

Now, where is your "proof" that dinosaurs coexisted with humans?

The link you provided before has been debunked.

You have no evidence that dinosaurs coexisted with humans, because there isn't any.

Please give me a link for humans and modern animals being buried along with dinosaurs.

Otherwise, I'll have to chalk it up to wishful thinking on your part.

How long did it take to bury a dinosaur?

Well, if you believe YECs, dinosaurs coexisted with humans after the Flood, around 4,000 years ago. And some people had pet dinosaurs, if you believe the pictures in Ken Ham's (Answers in Genesis) books.

So how long it would take to bury your pet dinosaur that tragically passed would depend on . . .

. . . the size of your shovel.

You need a very large shovel to shovel what you post.

ad hominem and red herring......please give evidence as to why Dr. Jones is incorrect in this book. ( you have to disprove the evidence, not attack the person)

You have heard of the boy who cried "Wolf!" too many times, right?

"Ad hominem! Ad hominem!"

See, I call it a "Credibility check" and you call it "Ad hominem."

I can just imagine Hilary Clinton screaming "Ad hominem!" when her crediblity is questioned, and Fox News junkies like Viligant_Warrior and some of these other YECs posting on this thread and in the Christian News Forum ask "Why should I believe anything she says?"

And they are right.

But I'll play your little game.

I'll be back before the end of the day with why Jones is incorrect in his book.

And then it will be your turn.

I want to discuss Dr. Dino's (Kent Hovind) doctoral dissertation with you.

So please review it.

It is not as formidable as Jone's 350 page or so book.

The first issue I have with is Dr. Dino's opening statement, which is:

"Hello, my name is Kent Hovind."

Hello.

He should have started it with:

"Hello, my name is Dr. Dino, future convicted felon."

Here's Kent's "doctoral dissertation" (if you want to call a non-APA/MLA style personal letter to a degree mill that looks like a ninth grader wrote it that for some reason). Wikileaks released it in 2009:

Wikileaks: https://wikileaks.org/wiki/Young-earth_creationist_Kent_Hovind's_doctoral_dissertation

Kent Hovind's paper in .pdf: https://file.wikileaks.org/file/kent-hovind-doctoral-dissertation.pdf

It's ridiculous. Here is how you write a real doctrinal dissertation (also called a doctoral thesis): https://www.grad.ubc.ca/sites/default/files/materials/thesis_review.pdf

But yes, let him out of prison. The amount of time he's being forced to serve for failing to pay taxes and being disingenuous about it, in the context of building a religious dinosaur park NOT in the context of organized crime and drug smuggling, represents unusual and cruel punishment. He should be pardoned and released and the justice department and judiciary disciplined for taking it to the extreme extent that they have.

Before you get too heavy duty with that rabbit trail, consider all those under your template we need to ostercise by the same logic.

[h=2]Thomas Edison[/h]Thomas Edison is a prolific inventor, businessman, and a famous dropout who invented the light bulb, motion picture camera, and stock ticker. His mother taught him to read and write after he was expelled from school because teachers thought he was too slow to learn. He was self-disciplined and industrious, worked hard, experimented, and spent a lot of time reading in the public library. While working on a train, selling newspapers, tobacco, and candy, a bottle of phosphorus in his train lab started a fire. He gave up trains, changed several jobs, and devoted himself to inventing.People Who Changed the World – Without Formal Education

Are you seriously comparing Kent Hovind with Thomas Edison?

Kent Hovind obtained a fake degree from a degree mill and has invented nothing.

Thomas Edison developed a comprehensive process for self-education and learning independently that he carefully followed his entire life (reading o6ut the non-fiction areas of more than one major public library in the process) and made more than a thousand inventions and to this day 1,093 patents are directly credited to him.

It's apples and orange.

You're miscorrelating very high IQ inventors who found that formal education, while desirable, slowed them down in rapidly changing marketplaces and so educated themselves informally while pursuing their inventions with a person of average intelligence who obtained a worthless "degree" from a diploma mill and never invented anything.

How about I correlate the average high school dropout to that list you posted and make the same false assertion that you did?

You might want to learn something about the science of correlation before you begin attempting to engage in the practice so as to avoid making such gross mistakes. You can learn about correlation in introductory logic and critical thinking 101 level courses at your local college with all that time on your hands since you're inventing nothing noteworthy at the moment either. Hey, I know, maybe you and "Dr. Dino" can take the course together online.

I asked you for your source for this information that humans and modern animals have been found buried alongside dinosaurs.

What is your source for the information you posted yesterday that Dr. Dino (Kent Hovind) has been released from prison?
