Are Fossils evidence of evolution ....or are the evidence of fossils

I missed that one from the other day. At this point, I see little point in continuing it. We've both had our say. 

OK, then I will presume you realize that I know many scientists personally, and that I am not clueless about science or the scientific method, and that I don't need to look in the mirror for any realization, about anything. 

Cool!  Peace, out!

In fact, to make those motions as fast as required for YE assumptions, the heat would be sufficient to boil the seas.

I don't think the plates moved.

It seems to me if one must add new ideas to scripture to make it fit one's assumptions, then the assumptions are probably wrong.

Where do you see that?

It's just a fact that they move.    They are still moving today at measurable velocities.   The issue is that if they had moved as fast as creationism requires, the seas would have boiled.

In your assumption that God made two sets of animals.   Nothing in scripture says so.

Scripture says so.  It's the atheists who like to claim it's a conflict in the Bible. 

Have you read Genesis?

It's not a fact that they broke apart Pangea during the flood.  It's entirely speculation.

They broke apart hundred of millions of years before there were humans.   We know this from geology, from fossils, from observed movement of plates, and from geomagnetic data.   Would you like to learn some of the details?

Most YE creationists now suppose that they rapidly moved apart, creating mountains and oceans within year's time.

Nope.   No such statement.   But I'd be interested in hearing why you think so.   Have you actually read Genesis?

I was looking up Book of Jasher as I have not read it. GotQuestions states the following:

Are you referring to Psuedo-Jasher? 

I have never used GotQuestions and Biblehub and few others because it is mainly BAPTIST/WESLEYAN/METHODIST and CATHOLIC DOGMA BALONEY.   If I want to be misled I would have attended the other Churches of the DEAD!

 

What I use is a Scroll, written in the [same Hebrew] that Moses wrote in since we are comparing that time frame.

And those who posses this Scroll make the Disclaimer:

The Book of Jasher

Referred to in

Joshua and Second Samuel

Faithfully Translated

FROM THE ORIGINAL HEBREW INTO ENGLISH

"Is not this written in the Book of Jasher?"--Joshua, x. 13.
"Behold it is written in the Book of Jasher."--II. Samuel, i. 18

SALT LAKE CITY:
PUBLISHED BY J.H. PARRY & COMPANY
1887.

This is one of the apochrypal Books of Jasher. There are several (as many as five) separate works by this title, all composed much later than Biblical times. This particular one is a translation of a Hebrew book printed in 1613. Sepir Ha Yasher, the Hebrew title of this book, means the 'Book of the Upright', or 'the Upright or Correct Record'. This title was misread as 'Jasher', and at some point Jasher was treated as a proper name; however the pronoun 'the' (hebrew 'ha') never preceeds proper names.
