What The Fossils Say
by cofty inthe old creation book had a lot to say about the fossil record.
if i remember correctly it was some lie about all the fossils ever found would fit on a single table.
the reality is that there is an embarrassment of riches illustrating the evolution of life.

The creationists own the fossil record. The Cambrian explosion of life showing fully formed animals is opposite of what Darwinism predicts - See Breeze
The fossil record contains an embarrassment of riches proving common ancestry beyond all doubt. Of particular interest is the many hominid fossils showing the ancestry of modern humans.
The Cambrian 'explosion' is an interesting period in the history of life. We now know that it lasted about 25 million years - that's quite a slow explosion. There is a fantastic series of articles at the Biologos website that answers all the questions a creationist might have in connection with this so-called challenge to evolution.

However, It is quite common to get "fossils" containing original organic material...like this "160 million" year old squid ink. They even used some of it to write with a pen - Sea Breeze
Please read the article you linked to. Nobody used 160 million year old squid ink to write anything. Researchers used a combination of very sophisticated techniques to determine if melanin was present.
Other soft tissue discoveries in fossils have been similarly challenging to confirm using very high resolution microscopes to identify collagen and red blood cells. The idea put about by creationists that rotting flesh and oozing blood was found inside fossils is risible.
You can read a very detailed explanation written by an evangelical christian at the Letters to Creationists blog.

Greta Thunberg...what’s your view of her?

It would be much better if you look at her argument from an empiric scientifically way - Bugbear
Her arguments are hysterical, fear-mongering nonsense.
Climate change is real; human activity is a significant part of the problem. Greta and her cult are still way out of order.
When did we start asking children how to organise the world?

Will Brexiteers be happy with Phase 2 of Brexit?
by The Fall Guy in"brussels plans to insist that in order to get that "quick and dirty" deal, the prime minister would have to sign up to eu conditions: alignment with eu environmental, state aid and tax regulations for example.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-50777995.
would such a deal represent what they thought they were voting for in the referendum?.

Being pragmatic I would be content with an exit that safeguards us from further political union. Further adjustments can be made in the long term. -

She is as certain of her cause as I was about the imminent end of the world when I was 16.

Ewart Chitty
by NoAbuse inewart chitty was appointed as secretary-treasurer , which position he held until his appointment to the governing body in november 1974.. when in brooklyn, chitty seems to have preferred younger men as roommates.
the actual charge brought to the gb against chitty was made by a former roommate and involved some sort of inappropriate conduct.
the gb concluded that chitty had homosexual tendencies, and asked him to resign.. a rare photo of chitty in happier days.

I knew the Greenlees family in Glasgow. They had a chain of (cheap) shoe shops. It was funny that in the 70s they sold shoes that any JW would have been told off for wearing.

these scientists all seem to agree that the traditional view darwinism cannot possibly be true.

Why do creationists think that clicking 'Dislike' is an adequate response to a detailed factual answer?
Coming soon - Another creationist thread consisting of a 2 hour video by somebody who knows nothing about biology.

Friday 13th - UK political-mageddon!
by The Fall Guy infar from uniting the british people, the election result on black friday will go down in history books as the day the brexit chasm got wider & deeper imo.
whatever the result, thanks to the past 42 months of unprecedented political bitterness many people's attitudes will harden.
there won't be many "good losers.".

I doubt if my local village hall will need security tomorrow. Probably be me and a farmer with his border collie.
How long before Labour replace Jeremy with Jeremy in a skirt?
