If the evolution hypothesis were true and the Earth is as old as the evolutionists say it is, then:

(1) There would not be fossilized tree trunks standing up through many layers of strata, each layer requiring millions of years to form - but they are there. (The trees would have rotted away.)

(2) Human footprints supposedly 3 million years old would not be found in coal (supposedly) 250 million years old - but they are there.

(3) A fossilized 75 foot whale standing almost on its tail would not have been found in 1976 near Lompac, Calif., completely covered up by diatomaceous Earth through millions of years - but its is there. (The whale would have rotted or been eaten by scavengers.)

(4) There would not be trilobite fossils found in the toe and heel of a human shoe print by William Meister in Utah in 1968 - but that is what they found. (Trilobite fossils are “index fossils” for strata supposedly formed at least 250 million years ago.)

(5) Fossils of transitional forms of life would be abundant in the geologic column - but none are to be found there. (Charles Darwin predicted an enormous number would be found, but after digging up fossils for 145 years, not one of these has been found.)

(6) The Earth’s population would not now be a mere 6.5 billion, but it is. (Beginning with one man and one woman 1 million years ago, allowing for wars, famine, disease and other devastation, allowing 42 years per generation and 2.4 children per family, our population would bow be one followed by 5000 zeros. But the entire universe, if estimated at a diameter of 20 billion light years, would only be able to hold one followed by 100 zeros of population.)

Should Obama get credit or blame?
In a long Saturday Nov. 12 feature column, the writer suggested that President Obama "could only take credit or blame for those things that are the result of his ideas." He then listed twelve items for consideration in making that assessment. An only slightly edited version of those twelve items will make them more useful for that purpose and that version follows. (1) President Obama inherited Bush's Great Recession....which had actually been created, not by Bush, but by a failed seventy year experiment in socialism. (2) He stabilized the banking system....using borrowed money. (3) He extended unemployment benefits....using borrowed money. (4) He reduced taxes....using borrowed money. (5) He signed a health-care law....funded by borrowed money. (6) A nuclear arms treaty was signed with the Soviet Union....which had been defeated by Ronald Reagan twenty years ago. (7) Job loss steadily decreased and eventually has resulted in job gains....among government workers and funded by borrowed money. (8) Obama saved the three American auto companies....using borrowed money. (9) He passed a stimulus plan....using borrowed money. (10) Several Al Qaeda leaders were killed....by our remarkable military teams trained during the Bush Administration. (11) The President is trying to solve the nation's short and long-term economic problems....using borrowed money. (12) President Obama has been willing to compromise....in order to raise taxes or borrow more money.
Based on the writer's list, does President Obama deserve credit or blame?
