		<description>Cengiz Eminov  is obviously one of Adnan Oktar&#039;s cultist lackeys. He is most likely either Jamshed Kunnoth AKA Jamshed Moidu or Joe Morreale AKA FrederikK. They often appear where their extremely dense leader is written about, to spam the site with their baseless assertions as to the TRUTH, as seen by their witless master.
They want to cut and paste christian creationist articles  and stolen pictures and scientific articles from reputable sources to prove their stupid model of the universe is real.
Unfortunately they have to quote mine and fake ALL the &quot;evidence&quot; against evolution.
Most of the time they just post their silly links to their leaders guff, and ignore anyone trying to debate with them. Repeating stuff like &quot;Evolution has been demolished&quot; regardless of whatever evidence you post to show them the error of their ways. 
They&#039;d be better off getting some degrees in real science. Molecular biology  would be a good one for these guys as they know nothing about it at all. But then again they know nothing about science or reality, full stop.

		<description>Christians did not read their Bible the Right Way until today!
Please read 
http://stevenmcollins.com/html/earth.html 
IS THE EARTH 6000 YEAR OLD?

The answer to this question has caused a seismic divide between Christians and the modern scientific community. Both sides think that there is no possible way of reconciling their respective differences on this question. Many Christians, thinking that the Bible teaches that the earth and all life on it can be no more than 6,000 years old, answer this question in the affirmative. The scientific community, seeing physical evidence which indicates that the earth and physical Universe is much older than 6,000 years, answers this question in the negative. Additionally, scientists have heard so many Christians assert that the Bible teaches the earth is only 6,000 years old that they reject the Bible as unscientific because of that Christian assertion. Who is right? The answer may surprise you. I believe that each side has a lot of truth on its side, but they have been in disagreement because of a misunderstanding about what the Bible actually says on this subject.

 Rather than hold back my personal views on the subject until the end of this research report, I will give you my conclusions at its beginning and then substantiate them with biblical and secular evidence. First I shall state categorically that I am a Christian and a biblical literalist who believes that a Creator Being authored the Bible and that it is infallible in its original, inspired texts. I also believe that the book of Genesis teaches that mankind and the species now living on the surface of the earth cannot be older than approximately 6,000 years, and I also believe that God created mankind and all such current species in a literal six-day week of 24-hour days and that he “rested” on the seventh day. These statements should place me in the mainstream of those Christian denominations which affirm a literalist understanding of the Bible. Now I have a surprise affirmation for the scientific community.

 To the scientific community I state that I agree with you that the physical evidence indicates that the Universe and the earth are far older than 6,000 years. However, I state to the scientific community that you have misjudged the Bible. You have rejected the Bible as “unscientific” because of an oft-stated Christian assertion that the Bible teaches that the earth itself is 6,000 years old. The Bible makes no such statement. When we combine all the biblical statements about creation and take them literally, the Bible actually agrees with scientists that the earth itself is far older than 6,000 years.

 To my fellow Christians, I state that this research report will show that a literal application of the scriptures will show that while mankind and the species on earth are no more than 6,000 years old, the earth on which mankind and other modern species now live is far older than 6,000 years. This research report will reconcile the seemingly unbridgeable gap between the biblical assertions of a 7-day week of creation circa 6,000 years ago and the scientific assertions that the earth is millions or billions of years old. It will do so by showing that the Bible is in agreement with the scientific community about the ancient age of the earth and Universe, an age of dinosaurs long before mankind, etc. However, this research report will also give the “coup de grace” to the theory of evolution. I believe many scientists have rejected Creationism because they can see the earth has to be older than 6,000 years so they reject the Bible as unscientific because they think it asserts the earth is no more than 6,000 years old. They have embraced evolution as the only possible alternative. This research report will show biblical creationism is actually the only scientific option. I invite all readers to consider the evidence in this research report and come to your own conclusion on the matter.

		<description>Ivan, I bow to your superior wikipedia skills.  I am hopelessly rooted in the 4th century BCE. 

Next time I&#039;ll just call a nutter a nutter and be done with it.</description>
