    This can be explained by Noah's flood. There were fossils of animals found on the peaks of mountains, that's a little hard to explain by evolution.

    Yes because Noah's flood was the only flood to have ever taken place in that time period.

    You know water covered nearly all of the earth long ago, right? (Unless you still think our planet is a couple thousand years old).

    If there is a flaw in Evolution, it is that it doesn't account for mass extinction type events. Dinosaurs evolved to dominate the planet for hundreds of millions of years. We're not even close to that kind of longevity. But without the ELEs, we wouldn't be the dominant species.

    That is, things don't evolve from here to there in a straight line. The ELEs completely reroll the dice and species that weren't able to dominant are suddenly able to thrive and dominate. That's without developing some traits that make the species superior, it's just dumb luck that the species lived in deep water at the right time.

    I have no concrete belief on how old the earth is because the Bible does not make any claim about that. But I do believe that man has only been on earth for about 5-6,000 years, and the fact that all documented human history goes back to about that time is pretty curious as well. Especially since the standard evolutionary theory states man has been in his current state for roughly 200,000 years. Did it take us 195,000 years to learn to use language and write?

    No it doesn't. There were multiple extinctions that happened hundreds of millions of years before the story of Noah's flood happening. I'm talking about those.

    Also some of those mysterious mountain fossils you mention help to show that dinosaurs existed for over $160million years. Why? They obviously weren't created in god's image. They didn't pray to him, worship him, even know who he is. If those things are so important to god why didn't god make those things a requirement of the dinosaurs existence?

    The Bible says that only man is created in God's image, no animals.

    We were able to use other form of communication before language and writing. Once humans realized writing and language were possibilities, they were quickly able to utilize this ability, thus bringing us to how we use it today.

    Also, humans have existed for millions of years. We have skeletons that scientists believe are around 4 million years old. I know other factors play into this (such as skeletal erosion and the environment in which the skeleton was found) but 6,000 years is an absurdly low number.

    I just find it funny that it just so happened to occur at the exact time the Bible testifies that God created intelligent man. Ecclesiastes 7:29.

    Salt water also erodes bones and tissue, which can make fossils appear to be older than they really are. Plus, many dating methods we use are not that accurate, such as dating recent rocks as millions of years old. A lot of assumptions also go into them by people who are naturalists.

    I fail to see how that's a flaw in evolution.

    We aren't here because of evolution. We're here because the dinosaurs died when a meteor hit the earth. There was nothing in our adaptive history that would suggest we'd become dominant over the dinosaurs if there wasn't that ELE.

    Your profile picture may represent a flaw in evolution...

    A big one or a small one? I'm just trying to see if he created you in his image, or you created him in your image.

    A truer theory of how life gets from single cell to Man should include the ELEs, no?

    So I do consider it a flaw.

    The prevailing theory of how life gets from single cell to man accounts for ELE's quite clearly...

    It does. But it's not Evolution as Darwin wrote it.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_event#Evolutionary_importance

    Furthermore, many groups which survive mass extinctions do not recover in numbers or diversity, and many of these go into long-term decline, and these are often referred to as "Dead Clades Walking".[21] So analysing extinctions in terms of "what died and what survived" often fails to tell the full story.

    Darwin was firmly of the opinion that biotic interactions, such as competition for food and space—the ‘struggle for existence’—were of considerably greater importance in promoting evolution and extinction than changes in the physical environment. He expressed this in The origin of species: “Species are produced and exterminated by slowly acting causes…and the most import of all causes of organic change is one which is almost independent of altered…physical conditions, namely the mutual relation of organism to organism-the improvement of one organism entailing the improvement or extermination of others”.[22]
