    Do you think that my description is incorrect?

    What do they have to gain....I suppose the motives are various.
    Attention and money are popular. See "Dr. Dino, and the "Hydroplate Theory" guy.

    Regardless of motives, the stock in trade of creationist websites is as I said.

    Find me a claim by any of them that offers to disprove ToE or geological time, and
    it will be as I described it.

    I think youd find yourself being quite annoyed with the cynical manipulators who
    have been promoting their frauds in the name of everything you find holy. I would be.

    your description that they're being dishonest? I would say you're incorrect.

    Would you say that attention, money and prestige is not gained from the "legitimate" side of science?

    But, why would you say that? Why do you think I am incorrect? This is quite important, please give me a careful ansser.


    Absolutely. Its very human. But you asked why the fraudsters would be dishonest, and you got your answer.

    1. The units by which we measure time were choosen by people effectively arbitrarily. Why is a day 24 hours long and each hour made up of 60 minutes lasting 60 seconds each?

    2. Yes some scientists have preconceived notions, but the peer review process will show if their work was skewed or biased based on the notions of its original experimenter.

    Creation "scientists" do not submit their work for peer review. When real scientists do check their work they notice the huge amounts of evidence creationists ignore because it doesn't fit with the model they are trying to shoehorn the evidence into.

    I love it. An indirect affirmation of an argument I presented previously regarding the scales used in measuring temperature. Thanks Questerr.

    do the units of measurement affect the movement of the earth?

    Nope. But they are time for all intents and purposes.

    Run away from what? You really must be delusional.. you claim that I have run away while at the same time, you are responding to a post that I made, which shows clearly that I have not run away. Where is the irrefutable proof of your claim?

    You clearly haven't responded to my last post, and you clearly haven't been engaging me in an intellectually honest matter. Trying to change the subject into something irrelevant (your educational background which wasn't pertinent to the discussion at all), bringing up false accusations against me, shifting the goalpost (asking for irrefutable proof when you have not shown that such a thing can be achievable nor have I claimed to be able to provide it if it is achievable).

    As such, you still have not responded to my original inquiry with any type of intellectually honest matter. The original matter was re-posted in my last post as it is here: Where is the irrefutable proof of your claim?
    Now, who is really being disingenuous?

    Wouldn't it be much more honest to simply admit that you cannot provide irrefutable proof of your claim?
