A sudden extreme cold snap is not necessarily related with a cold period causing glaciers to extend down south to Illinois. If all frozen mammoths really died quite exactly at the same time, they all should give the same age when dated with whatever method available. Even if the absolute age was off, the same “radiometric” age for all the mammoths we’re talking about would support your theory.

@Sean Pitman: Sean, we’ve had this discussion before, but I still don’t grasp where in your chronology in you squeeze in the time needed for
a) the mammoth-population, all descendants of some (one pair of ?) proto-elephants coming down the slopes of mount Ararat growing to “millions”, especially given the slow growth rate of elephant polulations.
b) mammoths (wooly rhinos,…) already having become well adapted to ice age environmental conditions before being hit by the “killer chill”.
…and the questions go on and on.
This is not a “I want you to lose – I don’t believe you” but rather the scientific “I’d like you to clarify your arguments so that maybe I could be convinced in the end – I don’t believe you”.

@Shane Hilde: To me the belief that all those wonderfully adapted animals living in arctic environments are the descendants of
Noah’s ark’s (obviously temperate climate adapted) passengers seems extremely evolutionist (just as an example). And the penguins’ methods of coping with their environment *are* complex (again just as an example).

What is taught at LSU
@Kevin:
Excuse me, but have you studied the full extent of Walter Veith’s “lectures”? He is an embarrassment (my favorite lecture unearths a conspiracy somehow connected to the “fact” that every American president since Abe Lincoln or so is the descendant from some royal European bloodline). Why does his name turn up here again and again?

I hope you realize that camels are perfectly adapted (or created- doesn’t matter) to a post fall (are probably post flood) environment.

Silence of the Geoscience Research Institute
@BobRyan:

The strong nuclear force is the one you see released during a fusion reaction.

…No no no – ouch! The strong nuclear force is *not* “released” during a fusion reaction (or at any other time) – this quote is a clear demonstration of a significant lack of physical knowledge (to put it in friendly terms).

@David: If you call the strong nuclear force “god” it would only be fair to give that name to electromagnetism, gravity and the weak nuclear force, too. But, whichever naming scheme you choose, this seems a bit pantheistic.

Andrews University statement on creation
@BobRyan: Walter Veith again (sigh!).
Please don’t refer to him as a scientist. Someone relating conspiracy theories as stupid as those promoted by him should not be called as a witness for anything. People like him actually give creationism a bad name.
