::::Thanks for maligning scientists who's views you disagree with, by using quote marks to subtly questioning whether they really are scientists. How about a bit of respect?

::::You appear to have missed my point about the rabbits. If rabbits were found in carboniferous sediments, I suspect that geologists would reclassify it to not be carboniferous, thereby denying that rabbits ''were'' found in carboniferous sediments. Besides, the creation model wouldn't predict rabbits there either. As for the giants, how many were there? Not everything has a preserved example, particularly if the population was small.

:::::The difference between scientists and creation "scientists" (I give respect where it is due, nowhere else) is that if there are no preserved examples, ''real'' scientists won't take it on faith that the species existed. Example. In Herodotus, the Greek historian notes a bunch of giant & cyclops species. Should we also assume that those were just a small sample size, explaining the lack of evidence, and classify it as scientific fact that these cyclops species existed, or should we take Herodotus for what he was: a guy who liked to invent myths?-[[User:AmesG|AmesG]] 12:21, 23 March 2007 (EDT)
