>I think it's helpful for us to be aware of the claims of this sort that
are being propagated, but am not sure that much is really gained by "taking
them on" in detail.
>Such things take on a life of their own among people eager for arguments
to confirm their prejudices. "Paluxy mantracks", "secular decrease in the
speed of light" & "decay of the earth's magnetic field" are still being
cited as "proofs" of a young earth long after they have been discredited.
Spurious data & illegitimate extrapolation take care of the great majority
of these claims.
There are those of us who not aware of the data by which these 'proofs have
discredited' and would be very much interested in hearing the case against
them.
