Sorry. I needed to get off the phone, so I was in a hurry and misread your post. I seem to apologize for my previous posts alot.
Your responses were good (mostly) and well-researched (again, mostly), but you did skip over some very important points I made, and never explained how that "amorphous paste" was found on that Archaeopteryx fossil if it's not a forgery.

Again, sorry. I'm still getting used to text-based communication of emotion. You loose a lot of variables that you have in verbal communication.
I'm not too keen on another all-out CvsE argument, as I'd like to focus on the upcoming election, but if you'd care to explain the amorphous paste and show any holes in my young-earth theory (hydroplate-flood-liquefication-decreasing-speed-of-light), I'd be happy to listen.

To Jay: Well honestly I don't want to start one either, but it would be quieter than some of the debates we have had recently, it's just that when people mention the second Amendment I have never seen anyone cross refrence what each term meant (at least what the founding fathers thought it meant).

Well, to be honest, between First and myself, I'm pretty confident that we've shown your argument to be full of holes. Unless there is new stuff you'd like to bring up.

I'd lay pretty good odds that the whole "amorphous" thing is either a misstatement, a poorly cited opinion in a decades-old paper, or an out-and-out fib. C'ers are famous for that sort of thing.

Oh, incidentally, one of my sources tells me (and I hesitate to mention this only because I haven't independently confirmed the facts yet) that a team of researchers at a major university once examined the "liquefaction" theory in a laboratory, and, after dozens of trials, determined that it was an out-and-out fraud, and that nothing like the sorting that would be necessary to explain the fossil strata order found in the real world actually can happen with "liquefaction."
I'll be spending some time trying to find the original data.
