6. Human Artifacts throughout the Geologic Column...Man-made artifacts - such as the hammer in Cretaceous rock, a human sandal print with trilobite in Cambrian rock, human footprints and a handprint in Cretaceous rock – point to the fact that all the supposed geologic periods actually occurred at the same time in the recent past.11
Mostly undocumented claims. Even if they aren't, it doesn't prove much. Minerals in a solution can harden around an intruding object over relatively short periods of time.

Helium Content in Earth's Atmosphere... Physicist Melvin Cook, Nobel Prize medalist found that helium-4 enters our atmosphere from solar wind and radioactive decay of uranium. At present rates our atmosphere would accumulate current helium-4 amounts in less than 10,000 years.12
Helium is a very light atom, and can reach escape velocity simply through heat.

Expansion of Space Fabric...Astronomical estimates of the distance to various galaxies gives conflicting data.13 The Biblical Record refers to the expansion of space by the Creator14. Astrophysicist Russell Humphries demonstrates that such space expansion would dilate time in distant space.15 This could explain a recent creation with great distances to the stars.
Humphrey's theory is erroneous in at least 3 ways. First off, it assumes that we're at the bottom of an enormous gravity well, which contradicts evidence. If this were the case, we would notice blue-shifts rather than red-shifts. Secondly, it is based on the earth's frame of reference. Third, it is a well documented fact that our sun is at least a second-generation star. His theory fails to account for the billions of years before the formation of the earth.

Design in Living Systems...A living cell is so awesomely complex that its interdependent components stagger the imagination and defy evolutionary explanations. A minimal cell contains over 60,000 proteins of 100 different configurations.16 The chance of this assemblage occurring by chance is 1 in 10 4,478,296 .17
It doesn't happen by chance. Even if it did, this is an argument based on the incredulity of the author, which is scientifically irrelevant.

Quote:
Design in the Human Brain...The human brain is the most complicated structure in the known universe.18 It contains over 100 billion cells, each with over 50,000 neuron connections to other brain cells.19 This structure receives over 100 million separate signals from the total human body every second. If we learned something new every second of our lives, it would take three million years to exhaust the capacity of the human brain. 20 In addition to conscious thought, people can actually reason, anticipate consequences, and devise plans - all without knowing they are doing so.21
Another argument based on incredulity.

I heard it somewhere...
Ahh. You heard it somewhere. Incredible place to get your scientific facts.

Quote:
What does cloning a human have to do with Lucy... Lucy is clearly a monkey yet people tie it to us...
The point of my paragraph was to grant your argument about dishonesty within the scientific community some credit by giving the example of human cloning but then point out that in this particular case it can not be a factor.

Quote:
Like what?
Such as most of post 115 and 116.

Quote:
If you cant see that, then you have no idea what you are talking about...
A natural chemical reaction by an organism which is encoded into its DNA is generally not termed an adaption.

Quote:
DNA evidence would show some form of connection between everything, I mean we did evolve from the same spot....
IT DOES

Quote:
Well, the major difference between early earth and the experiment is that the spark was continuous in the experiment... I really doubt that lightining would ever do that....
The sparks are not continuous in the experiment, nor do they need to be for a chemical reaction to occur.

Quote:
It would take alot longer than for the sun's light to do anything useful...
Not really. Most endogenic reactions only require heat. The sun provides plenty of heat.

Quote:
I said it with the frog example!
No, you didn't. A population of frogs changing colors is not speciation.

Quote:
They tested radiometric dating, it does not accuratly date...
It does. This is CCB. Common Creationist Bullshit.

Quote:
I would but God finished creation on the seventh day...
Did he die after that? If not, you can still do what I asked.

Quote:
No, that is genetically similar, they are not relatives...
In case you didn't know, relatives are genetically similar.

Quote:
Any mutation is a form of evolution... if the animal survives long enough to mate, it will pass its traits on...
Yes, but bad legs are generally not a mutation, and are not heritable.

Quote:
You just don't like my answers....
Do you even read what you're responding to? You never gave me any answers about the difference between evidence and proof. And you're right. I don't like most of your answers. They're full of CCB.

Quote:
well if there is no missing link there is no transition between anything....
There isn't a perfect fossil record of transition. There is a damn good one though (refer to the John Doe example.). Even if there wasn't, that doesn't mean there wasn't any transition.

Quote:
He was talking about the improbibility of the decaying magnetic field, not the other way around...
According to that paragraph he's asserting that the earth's field is decaying, not that it's improbable.

Quote:
Well... he said that there is sedimentary deposits in places where it just does not flood...
No...he...didn't...

Quote:
Well, sedimentary deposits are found on every continent, but I don't think it floods every where....
I'm fairly sure that it rains everywhere on earth. Furthermore, the earth's environment changes as time progresses.

Quote:
Well, what could have stopped the population growth? Flood? What?
This is a more complicated question than I'm prepared to answer at this time.

Quote:
Granites are formed of an aggregate of crystals which are molded together without any space between them or which enclose one another. No way gas could seep into the rock and stick around...
Actually it can. I'm too lazy to go into details.
