Re: [asa] Arguments Creationists should NOT use

I would ask very seriously are there any arguments Creationists should use.
The ones on the Sarfati list are particularly poor but those off the list
are little better.

A book has recently been published by a Church of England vicar Martin Down
who is a graduate of Cambridge called Deluded by Darwinism.

Apart from its horrendous geology including saying that the Old Red
Sandstone (Devonian) covers half of Scotland whereas according to the
Geological Survey map it covers less than 10%. He gives the usual polystrate
fossils and Mt St Helens myths along with the erosion of Niagara falls, the
salty sea, Helium, dodgy radiometric age-dating, decay of the magnetic
field, MOON DUST, recession of the moon, too many comets.

It is commended by the Association of Christian Teachers as suitable for
16=18 high schools students.

So this type of thing is thriving over here
