i think i have. Taken from 'The Flood' pg. 234 (i will return to hapgood later)

" The lower levels, of reddish and blue chalk, are filled with the remains, of swimming lizards, with the wonderful Pterandons, themost perfect flying machines ever known, withthe toothed bird Hesperornis, the roayl birdof the west and the fishbird Ichthyornis...with fishes smalland great...and huge sea tortoises."

then on pg. 235;

"Still higher are the mortar beds of the Loup Fork Tertiary, where the dominant type changes from reptiles to mammals. Here in western kansas, are found great numbers of the short limbed rhinoceros, the large land turtle...several inferior tusked mastodons, the saber tooth tiger, the three toed horse and a deer only 18 inches high.
This structured layering of animal types seem incongrous to a single flood theory for their deposition - surely it'd be expect that all the species would be equally mixed together?

How does the Flood hypothesis explain marine and air reptiles in one layer, with land mammals in a completely distinctive seperate layer, and other sediments between?

Sounds like evidence for evolution to me.

"Dr. Allen, professor of geology at the University of Alberta, in speaking of the fossil beds along the Red Deer river, once made this observation in his classroom lecture: These reptiles, whose fossils remains are found in such great abundance along the Red Deer seem to be driven together by a common danger and to have perished in the same great catastrophe...

fossil beds are bones which have turned to stone over millions of years. BONES would be evidence of a geologically recent event.

These reptiles, Notice....he doesn't mention mammals or man.

i just picked one example that was in the book and it doesn't mean that man was occupying every square inch of the world and was everywhere animals were and vice versa.

itis quite possible that the layering came into being due to the proximity of the bones to the site. layering certainly doesn't imply evolution.

But when you "pick one example" and post it here, you can't expect us not to comment on what you posted.

comment all you wantin fact here is something from Hapgood's 'Path of the Pole" pg.281

"In the foregoing chapters the whole of north america and siberia have testified to violent physical changes and tothe destructive effects of unidentified forces upona widespread animal population at the end of the Pleistocene Epoch. The evidence from south america will be foundas strong or even stronger...They include evidence of a geological revolution having todo not so much with ice caps and ice ages as with theupheaval of half a continent in which the deaths of millionsof animals resulted from extensive volcanic eruptions and vast floods."

now he says vast floods but his being non-religious cold have influenced such wording.

now i may have posted thatinthe wrong topic but it seems that this and the flood topic have crossed paths for some reason.

Hapgood has been completely debunked

Darwin has not been debunked. You can say this stupid shit all day, arch. It don't make it true. No matter how much you want to believe it a lie is still a lie.

I think he means that in the eyes of the church Darwin was never approved
luckily the Church doesnt dictate scientific practice anymore
when it did the progress we made was incredibly slow if not actually in reverse
1500 years for the acceptance of a heliocentric solar system
something which the ancient world knew thousands of years earlier
a belief that Satan caused illness and so the best way to combat disease was to put money on the collection plate
a belief that the world was flat which was championed by the early church to prevent people from travelling away from their influence
a belief that a middle eastern pagan god was worthy of worship while at the same time showing their approval of his attempted genocide by emulating him
and lets not forget the best money spinner they invented
not only must you attend church to be baptized and married but also to have your remains buried in consecrated soil.
and at each stage
paying for it
etc
etc

How do you know he was non-religious?

oh so because he wasn't religious he can't possibly be right
you complete Bigot Arch, whats wrong with you
does being religious automatically mean you have cancelled your membership of the human race

Does being religious make one honest?

marduk · Post by **marduk** » Sat Jul 29, 2006 7:31 am

the only connection i have noticed is that being religious makes you self righteous and extremely bad at religious research

Frank Harrist · Post by **Frank Harrist** » Sat Jul 29, 2006 7:52 am

Self-righteous and very selective about which research they choose to believe.

marduk · Post by **marduk** » Sat Jul 29, 2006 7:54 am

no they just dont do research in certain areas
that makes them bad at it not selective at what they believe
if they can't see it then it doesnt exist
