I am trying to compile a list of arguments against creationism. If you
have any arguements which you believe show that the concepts of
"creation" are incorrect, please mail them to me. I have been asked by
a friend who is a 'Christian' to compile a list of reasons why I
believe that life, the universe, and everything could not have been
created. She wishes to defend herself by showing that the arguements
which I give her are inconsistant/false. I asked if I could take the
assistance of my fellow flamers on the net, and she agreed. So I shall
start the list off, and hope to get lotsof flames MAILED to me. I will
summarize all of the arguements as well as their rebuttals. 

					Thanx.

Argument 1:
   If the world was created in 6 days as is written, then the
differences between, for example, the time of the dinosaurs and the
time of the humans would be very small. However, through all of the
dating schemes, and physical phenonmena which we take to be true, we
see a discrepancy of many millenia between the times of the man and the
times of the dinosaur. How do we explain this?

An arguement which I have been given in rebuttal to this is that
	 "Skelatons of men have been found which date to the time of
	 the dinosaur."
Unfortunately, I have not heard of any such skelaton being found. Have
you?

	Keep 'em comin'!!!
