Flustered no. Shocked that pockets of such levels of aggressive ignorance still exist? Yes. So far you’ve proven that you believe in science unless it has to do with geology and the ecology of natural systems and the introduction of poisons into them. Which begs the question...what science DO you believe?

Anyway...I grew up with a PhD in geology around so I guess I take my knowledge and common sense for granted.

The theory of young earth and vertical fossils was debunked hundreds of years ago. In fact the whole discussion of vertical fossils actually disproves young earth.

Nothing I say will change your mind unless
You are actually admitting youve NEVER researched this?

I suggest you Use actual scientific sites and journals not weird pseudoscience sites like ‘creationism.con’ etc. start with dawsons. He was a 19th century scientist/geologist and a staunch Christian. He was the first to scientifically explain such fossils. His observations remain valid and central to accepted scientific thought in this area even today. I’d also look into trees that grow in flood plains today for examples of how vertical fossilization takes place. Hint 2: Not every area of in the world experiences sedimentation at the same rate.

That’s a good start.

Good luck! I believe in you.

So instead of answering what you deem to be such an elementary question, such as the UPSIDE DOWN trees, you would prefer that I do more research. That is hilarious. Seriously, that is a great way to weasel out of answering, good job.

There’s a difference between sloppiness and ignorance.

Sorry I rushed through a post.

Oh...you don’t need multiple spaces after an ellipsis. If you have a single space AFTER an ellipsis you should also use one BEFORE to remain consistent. You did it twice which indicates ignorance not sloppiness.

It's not ignorance, it is giving you some low hanging fruit because I feel sorry for you... see, I did it again... I also find it amusing that when you screw up, it's "sloppiness", but when others do it, it's ignorance... I can't say I'm surprised, after all we are all just dumb hicks and you are college indoctrinated, eerrr, I mean educated... lol

Come on now, I'm making this as easy for you as I can.

So you are doubling down on aggressive ignorance and won’t even do a modicum of research on your own.

How utterly unsurprising.

It also is clear you didn’t pay attention to my hints.

Ugh.

So when you have no answer you reduce yourself to name calling, I wish I could say I was surprised but that is actually fairly typical for people who can't prove their point.

And I am the one who is expected to disprove my own question, typical.

Clearly you have no answer to my question or you would have given it and you will continue to tell me that it is my responsibility to research these things for myself.

Since you are unwilling, or unable, to give a rebuttal and this has gotten WAY off topic I will leave it alone.

It helps me sleep better at night knowing that we have such brilliant minds, such as yours, to show the rest of us "dumb folk" the way.

Keep.up.the.good.werk... lol

I don’t think you’re dumb. I think you’re lazy and believe whatever supports your worldview because it’s easy and comforting.

To back up my assertion...You have and will contribute to refuse researching this on your own, specifically sedimentation rates in flood plains (where these fossilized trees have been found) which easily explains the myth you are perpetrating. Correct? Won’t even look up an actual scientific journal article on it will you? If you won’t even do that, how do you know if you disagree with the scientific take on this?

Remember, this myth was debunked hundreds of years ago by a Christian.


[Hint 3: sedimentation rates vary wildly and don’t necessarily take millions, let alone billions, of years depending on the area. Fossils above and below the tree top and root ball help show that]

You must be right, I'm lazy, after all you wouldn't say it if it weren't true.

The whole THEORY of evolution is based on the fossil records of differing layers of rock "proving" that these billions of years have passed allowing enough time for everything to evolve from single cell organisms.

If the layers of rock were laid down quickly and didn't take billions of years or even millions of years, as you just stated in your ever so helpful hints, then the THEORY of evolution falls apart.

So it seems we actually agree that the layers of rock didn't take millions of years to form.

One more question before I go to bed.

Is it because I believe in God that you think I'm ignorant, and therefore you have the right to belittle me, or is it because I don't believe in the religion of evolution?

 

[cardude2000]

Incorrect. The WHOLE scientific theory of evolution does not rest solely on sedimentation layers and it’s rate of layering...especially when discussing the age of the earth and species evolution. Beyond that examples of sedimentation layers happening quickly in certain areas and incredibly slowly in others (like it still does today) if anything disproves the young earth and ‘great floods’ myth.

If you took even a single geology course in your life you’d know that not all layers of sediment everywhere are made up of the same material nor did they happen at the same rate.

Hint 4: look up preservation of organic material is low oxygen / high sulfur / methane environments.

One more question before I go to bed.

Is it because I believe in God that you think I'm ignorant,

Nope. It’s the fact that you are aggressively ignorant or lazy. You choose which one it is.

You won’t even do the most basic of research. You simply seek out and believe whatever makes you feel comfortable with your worldview.

Dawson was a staunch Christian. He was not ignorant and likely didn’t play the victim card like you keep trying to.

Could we please get back to topic.

For some reason the 2021 section has gone off the rails. If I have to I will lock every single thread in the 2021 section.

Just stay on topic in every section of the 2021 section.

Just another reminder no religion or politics posts.

Thank you.

How about we revert back to posting about vehicles?

If I wanted to read about science bitching matches I certainly would not have come to this forum.

It took 2 posts before someone started crying about EV’s and the technology around them.

It ain’t easy here.

"For some reason" is completely attributed to a single specious troll. Does this forum not have rules about trolls who contribute nothing but incorrect assertions like "one can't use enough armor all" or "no cars in the last 10 years have cracked dashes" or "chloramamine in water destroys gms more than fords?" We really could make tahoe-yukon great again...

...scientific theory of evolution

Evolution is not science and it is not a theory. It's a verboten topic here, political.

A scientific theory can be and is tested and verified.

Evolution asserts that nothing created everything, a scientific impossibility. Evolution also does not believe in The Law of Entropy.

Evolution believes that if you lock a 2021 Tahoe in a garage, it will evolve into a Freightliner or a Space Shuttle or maybe even a cordless drill after millions and billions of years.

What will really happen is that the car will degrade over time as will the garage if someone doesn't come along to take care of them both.

i liked seeing on the new Escalade how the Super Cruise works and that it can even change lanes by using your blinker but it still smart enough to not let you change lanes into the median or shoulder of the road.

The screen on the left for the HUD and other controls is a touch screen. The main infotainment panel, most of that stuff would never be utilized while commuting and day to day operations. I saw one video of them searching for a gas station nearby, they selected it and got an actual street view picture of what it looked like. The screen is curved towards the driver, but the passenger might be doing such navigating for the driver. I like for my wife to help with navigating but usually falls back to me, so there's reality! They spent a lot more time and effort researching this than I did!

Still love my truck though!

@Miami-Dade Gary, if the first few lines cross any lines, I'll happily delete them and won't mind if you did it for expedience's sake. That kid is posting incorrect information again, whether to taunt or tease or out of ignorance I do not know. My only agenda is to learn and share truths.

As always, incorrect. Unless most theories in physics are political then again, you’re wrong. You don’t even understand the difference between a hypothesis, theory and facts. I won’t push my religious or political beliefs here as they have nothing to do with science, technology and specifically, EV vehicles.

For those interested in learning what the scientific process is et al. Good data linked below.

As for those who prefer aggressive ignorance, skip them and ONLY seek out sources that cater to your world view and eschew accepted scientific thought. But be warned, you will continue to know so very much that isn’t so.

I guess all I have to do now is say something about my truck...I really still love my auto running boards. Lots of people here told me not to get them because they would stop working. They haven’t.

Oh, and my wife knows how to read a map too.

Post all 3 of those supposed direct quotes and I’ll stop posting. If not you’re admitting to attributing things to me that I didn’t say...which of course is against forum rules. Tsk tsk.

I’ll wait.

*crickets*

And remember, post 3 of this thread was derailed by someone triggered by EV’s...and it wasn’t me.

You must be exhausted from all these swings and misses LOL

Anyway...

For those interested in cars and not boomers crying about how science hurts their feelings...here’s an interesting article. GM is going to sell the bolt and it’s only going to cost $26k. Less than any other EV on the market.

Game changer.
