Theoretical Science is Prematurely Gray
The Dallas Morning News has given plenty too much space in its editorial page to things that scientists claimed were both millions of years old and contributory to the ever-aging farse called evolution. I felt as though it was time that someone show these tails up for what they are, that is, fabrications of overactive imaginations that soak the government (and therefore us) for money to live on. In the mean time they are deceiving school children and the general public. That is what prompted me to write the following response:
What I think scientists need to "rethink" is the preposterous notion that every fossil and artifact found is millions instead of thousands or even hundreds of years old. Their presumptions seem to be Leaky (pun intended). These self-proclaimed experts are always looking for missing links and when they can't find them they concoct them. Case in point is the paleontologist in your article who was so eager to make a discovery that he reached in the drawer, pulled out a jawbone, and saw a parrot. We are so quick to forget when a now-famous scientist was acclaimed for finding a jawbone that was called by most of the experts "the missing link of man." After the awards were tossed around, the discovered jawbone turned out to be from a pig. It is time that science stops trying to find what they want things to be like and begin looking at the truth. If the earth took millions of years to form its layers, then why are scientists finding whole trees, dating only thousands of years back, in perfect uniformity across multiple strata in the walls of the Grand Canyon? Also, why is it that, in Glen Rose Texas, scientists have found human footprints impressed in dinosaur tracts? These human tracts are verifiable to have been formed within days of the dinosaur's. For every theory of an ancient earth, there are literally dozens of verifiable facts for a young earth. Science is lying to our school children in order to both extend research grants and (worse) deny them the truth that the earth was created and the world flood occurred. Those with a specific agenda will say this takes faith to believe, however, it actually takes greater faith to believe scientific theories, built on assumptions. For example, just take a look at the law of thermodynamics and then try to swallow evolutionary theory. And, let's not forget that study of the flesh of all species (through their amino acid components) shows that they are distinct.
