Creationism teaches that the world is something like 6000years old... when it can be easily proven in innumerable ways that it's more like 6,000,000,000years oldi could go on, but no point trying to convince these religious nutjobs of anything

That is to say, you're an idiot.
Just wondering, if evolution had such a big part in who we are as humans today. How come there arnt more skeletal remains of how humans were through their progression of evolution?
Not talking about pieces of bone that were pieced together from 3 different continents. Not just humans but all creatures, wouldnt there be more proof and skeletal steps in their evolutionary advancement?
Dr. Thomas Barnes, Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Texas at El Paso, has published the definitive work in this field. Scientific observations since 1829 have shown that the earth's magnetic field has been measurably decaying at an exponential rate, demonstrating its half-life to be approximately 1,400 years. In practical application its strength 20,000 years ago would approximate that of a magnetic star. Under those conditions many of the atoms necessary for life processes could not form. These data demonstrate that earth's entire history is young, within a few thousand of years.
A living cell is so awesomely complex that its interdependent components stagger the imagination and defy evolutionary explanations. A minimal cell contains over 60,000 proteins of 100 different configurations. The chance of this assemblage occurring by chance is 1 in 10 4,478,296.
The human brain is the most complicated structure in the known universe. It contains over 100 billion cells, each with over 50,000 neuron connections to other brain cells. This structure receives over 100 million separate signals from the total human body every second. If we learned something new every second of our lives, it would take three million years to exhaust the capacity of the human brain. In addition to conscious thought, people can actually reason, anticipate consequences, and devise plans - all without knowing they are doing so.
Pretty hard to imagine something that complex just happening, and so evolving duplicating itself in another being without some outside force helping the process.
My 2 cents.

There are many, many more. They just haven't been found yet, but they will and over time they have more and more. We are still putting the puzzle together, and it is very difficult because we have to find the pieces of puzzle before we can really know what the picture is.
I remember once in Sunday school we were taught that a long time ago peep thought that simple things like the water process (evaporation, ect) was crazy and unbelieveable so they thought that a much bigger thing had to of created it. That made me think that someday, we might know everythings reasons. Like how the things we think today that can't be explained except by God (like the big bang). We might know the answers to those things just like how we know that answers to simple things like the water process.

1. We haven't found everything yet. Duh.
2. It is very rare that something becomes fossilized.

I believe Lana means that, in proportion to the number of organisms that have lived and died--particularly the large ones--there are very few fossils.
Precisely that, I would have explained better but I was on the phone at the time.

I did watch Monty Python in biology.
It was after the AP exam and we had nothing left to do 😛
Evolution runs in circles. OK what happens when a fish starts turning into a lizard? What does it do when it gets half way done evoloving. It has gills but no way to swim to push the water into its gills so it suffocates that is the flaws of evolution. Darwin himself said that evolution was not a sure thing and that he himself never meant it to be a belief it was just something he himself believed.
