I will not try to point out evidence on either side to promote creation vs. evolution. But, come on, if you insist on this diatribe against evolution, at least get your facts straight. Radiometric dating is used to determine the age of fossils, not the rock layers. Here is some light reading on the subject, from a Christian perspective no less. (Please forgive my ignorance, I do not know how to post HTML links) http://www.asa3.org/ASA/resources/Wiens.htm I will agree that circular reasoning is an idiotic way to explain anything, however no credible scientist would ever use a line of reasoning like that and expect to be taken seriously thereafter. When you mention proof of God, what proof have you got? There is no proof, only faith, which is the capacity to believe in something with no evidence to support it. I have faith that God exists, but I have no scientific proof of it. The facts about Sodom and Gomorrah are that the Five Cities of the Plains mentioned in the Bible have been found, but evidence of which one is which has not. The best guesses of the archeologist are all that we have to go on. Until Turkey allows a full expedition to journey up the mountain to see and document it, there is still no conclusive evidence that Noah’s ark has been discovered. I also could not find evidence of the discovery of the Ark of the Covenant or the "real" Mt. Sinai "where the top is all burnt". If you have such evidence please cite your sources. As well intentioned for the theory of Creation as your post was, you did not prove anything. Evolution and Creation both require faith to believe. There is not conclusive evidence for either theory to prove its merit beyond a shadow of a doubt. Trying to browbeat your beliefs on someone else with no evidence to back your claims only makes you look stupid. One more thing, in the future, please draft your messages in a word processing application with a spell check, so that if you must look like a dumb ass, you will look like a dumb ass that can spell.
