Evolution vs Young Earth Creationism

Biased sourcesFirst, I would like to mention that NewLifeChristian has used very biased sources, such as Answers in Genesis or Institution of Creation Research. These aren't valid scientific sources, they are biased organizations. They also violate the scientific method. The scientific method in short, requires to examine evidence and draw conclusions from them. [1] What these creationist sites are doing is working down from the Conslusion. The conslusion would be a literal interpretation of genesis, then they examine evidence and distort it into seeing how it could prove creation.Here's a comedical cartoon explaning why creationism doesn't involve use of the scientific method: Catastrophic Events My opponent insists that a volcano eruption is proof that natural structures can form rapidly, thus explaing how Pangea split up in just 6000 years. However, the temperature of lava can range around 700-1250 degrees centigrade. [2] Due to the high temperature of lava, it can reshape land far easier than water. Burden of proof is on NewLifeChristian to prove how water can reshape an entire continent. My opponent also claims that whale fossils in a Chilean desert is proof of the global flood in creation theory. While this is true, the fossils could have gotten there through a storm or a very large tide. [3] As I mentioned in my previous argument, a worldwide flood explaining the fossils would mean they must have been randomly thrown around. The Bible's account in Historical accuracyNewLifeChristian's source defeats their own argument, because the source they provided to prove the Hanging Gardens of Babylon existed, explicitily stated that the Hanging Gardens didn't exist in Babylon. Further more, they didn't give a reliable and accurate source to prove why the Hittites people existed. Rather, they seem to give an unheard of news site called "The Trumpet" which is definitely not a scientific or reliable source. Further more, these historical events have nothing to do with Evolution being true. A book can say that the Earth orbits the Sun, and that the Earth is 90% land. You can't say the Earth is 90% land because that book says one thing that's accurate. NewLifeChristian must give actual proof of a literal interpretation of Genesis outside of the Bible. Further more, more metaphorical interpretations of the Bible exist, and many Christians believe in theistic Evolution. Pope Francis stated that Darwinism and the Big Bang theory don't conflict with Christianity. [4] DNA supports creation? NewLifeChristian states that traits such as breathing and drinking water prove that a creator exist. He states that because the genetic similarity is there, it proves that it was "intelligently" designed by a creator. They state that it proves an almighty creator, but give little reason to believe so. If other animals didn't have traits such as breathing or drinking water, I fail to understand how they could live. Dinosaur BloodWhile these red blood cells were indeed found, this doesn't neccessarily prove a young-earth. According to research done on this, Iron had helped preserve the blood vessels for so long. "he researchers also analyzed other fossils for the presence of soft tissue, and found it was present in about half of their samples going back to the Jurassic Period, which lasted from 145.5 million to 199.6 million years ago, Schweitzer said. "The problem is, for 300 years, we thought, 'Well, the organics are all gone, so why should we look for something that's not going to be there?' and nobody looks," she said. The obvious question, though, was how soft, pliable tissue could survive for millions of years. In a new study published today (Nov. 26) in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, Schweitzer thinks she has the answer: Iron." [5] Earth's Magnetic FieldWhile this argument has been used by Young Earth Creationists, it's important to note that the magnetic field is not a valuable way to measure the Earth. It's not proven to decay at a steady rate, and how exactly the magnetic field of the Earth is generated is still not completely known. [6] The magnetic field is known to flunctuate, and it's strength isn't stable. 1. http://www.livescience.com...2. http://volcano.oregonstate.edu...;3. http://news.nationalgeographic.com...4. http://www.usatoday.com...;5. http://www.livescience.com...;6. http://apps.usd.edu...;
