Personally, I think there is an in-between. Both sides have valid arguments, however, they cannot find common ground.

have you ever had a science class? or just bible study?
- discipler0
How is that relevant? I make no claim to be a scientist. I'm just sharing information I've found in personal study. I've had college level Biology... probably like most of the other people in this thread.

when do you suppose the stone age took place?
- JazX0
what a second, let's get something straight here. Whether Evolutionary theory is correct or not. The below graphic illustrates the Geologic Time Table:
mrdobolina, the stone age, which included early prehistoric man and mammals was during the Quaternary Period during the Cenozoic Era. We are still in this Era. (They just happen to be showing what went on in the Colorado region).

column 3 says how many millions of years ago?

I cant believe you just posted in it, if you are so upset!
- discipler0
I don't believe a "stone age" ever took place. Do you know what types of findings support belief in a "stone age"?
- JazX0
yep, that's time table supports evolutionary theory. I had to know that sh*t up and down when in school. The most interesting thing on that grpahic is the K-T boundary (AKA, 'K-T Impact') which is a distinct deposit found all over the world which coincides with the paleo-extinction of Dinosaur life. The paleo deposits that are found around the world aren't disputed by Creationists, however, the dates in which these extinctions occurred, obviously, are disputed.

Some believe that the geological deposits in your chart were formed considerably quicker, JazX. As the result of a world wide deluge. ;)

(Jun 13 05, 07:11)there's no harm is a good scientific joust/argument. It's not political at least.
- discipler0
mrdobs, here are some good articles that will tell you about the Creationist position regarding geology and the earth's age...

how long ago did neanderthals roam the earth? 5,500 years ago?

Correction, it's not found ALL over the world but in many places, especially in and around the Yucatan Peninsula (modern day Mexico) where they think the actual impact occurred. Deposit evidence shows it was tropical in terms of it's paleo-environment, regardless of dating.

(Jun 13 05, 07:16)I guess, that's far too young for me. As a Physical Science grad, I don't think about Anthropology in any way shape or form. To Geologists, it's way to early.
But yep, that's the theory, mrdobolina. Now for that stuff, you can use Carbon-14 dating.
- mrdobolina0
discipler, you can believe that the earth is only 6k old, but I think it is impossible to believe if you arent a christian. do you get me?
- JazX0
The question lies in whether C-14 dating is accurate or not and the same can be said of K-Ar dating methods. Most Creationists debunk the use of it.
- discipler0
mrdobs, I don't believe that so-called neanderthals were what you believe they were. :) Do you know what the fossil evidence for these consists of? The findings do not represent any sort of evolutionary sequence, but are part of the spectrum of variation. They should be classified as the same species as modem man, Homo sapiens.
Don't let misleading drawings (based on jaw bones and teeth), make you think otherwise.
- JazX0
discipler has a point. The evolutionary sequence is a bit broken up. however, I don't dig that area. no pun intended.
hehehhee ;)
