My favorite line, in the whole conversation that exposes everything is "your group is obviously a group of creationists and the spin they can get off of it is not gonna help US" What "spin" could he possibly be referring to? If the test results came back as he assumes with no Carbon 14 and undateable how could Creationists "spin" that to their advantage? Unless the results came back that the specimen did contain Carbon 14 and dated far younger then what they assumed. In that case I do agree.

@vader974 This is one of the reasons I believe that they already know that there is Carbon 14 in the specimen and simply don't want to have to explain why it's there, neither do they want anyone else, especially creationists, to know it's there. Good point 'Vader974'.

"Debating creationists on the topic of evolution is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon; it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory." -- Scott D. Weitzenhoffer

@kauzmic1 Okay, I have the table set up in Yahoo Chess, Intermediate Blitz, table #1.

I have the time constraint set at 5 minutes with no delay if that's okay with you. We can change it if you like though. You should email the results of to your friends after the game as I will be posting a the move list to my blog...If you show up of course.

[kauzmic1]

@hugenex2000 Well, I like chess but haven't played in a few years so you will most likely win, but...you never mentioned which time zone.

Also, the point of the quote is not to dis actual chess playing skills.

[hugenex2000]

@kauzmic1 Well, I like chess as well and as a U.S. Chess Federation Coach have taught it both as a sport and as an art form for the past 10 years so I would be most happy to teach you to play...in any time zone. The time zone could have been deduced from the time stamp on the comment and the email you received.

The point of the quote is to insult creationists' logical skill and sportsmanship. As both a chess coach and as a creationist myself I am twice insulted.

So, you decline my challenge?

[kauzmic1]

@hugenex2000 I already know how to play chess, thanks. And the time stamp on my e-mail and your post correlate to one another, but that still doesn't tell me anything about your time zone.

[hugenex2000]

Look at the clock in your time zone and see what time it is because regardless of the zone it is NOW in both. Then sync and subtract.

So, You know how to play but you will not play so are you all talk and no game @kauzmic1

Wow, this proves how ignorant creationts are. It is very sad to see how proudly they carry their ignorance.

I really don't understand how anyone can't listen to this conversation without feeling ridiculously embarrassed for Mr. Eynart. In addition to sounding smug and condescending the whole time (while clearly mentally outclassed) his attempts to interject his thoughts into the conversation and prove his understanding of the topic are just sad. Really, really sad.

@hugenex2000 Yup, evolution is not science and religions don't use gods. IDiots.

[hugenex2000]

we can not run the test because evolution is not science @gregrutz

[hugenex2000]

i challenge you to a game 2 morrow morning at 9 am on yahoo chess. I will post the results here in comments with the move by move record of the game for all to see @kauzmic1

[gregrutz]

@RomansGalatians violant asshole aren't you.
