Allen, this is a serious question. Do you ever doubt anything told to you by
a young-earth writer? Do you ever check out to be sure that they are
telling the truth? You can't with Lalimov any more than I can. It is not
cynicism to check up on what one is told. Gullibility is what swindlers
depend upon and one usually doesn't want to be swindled.

Allen, it is a simply question probing how you know what you know. One
usually answers a question with an answer, not a rhetorical question. Do you
have the ability to check out Baumgardner's math? Simple question! Are you
afraid to answer this? If you can't read the math, then you are trusting
that everything is OK with it even though it might as well be Russian.

No. and frankly, none of Baumgardner's programs being used in my business.
But that is not the issue. I have checked out one of Baumgardner's programs
and it clearly had the problem of subtracting energy from the vertical
radiative column and never again accounting for it. One can clearly make
any program give the correct answer by adding and subtracting numbers at the
critical place.

I don't make any charge agains Lalimov. I simply can't check up on him and
neither can you. And to call CRSQ a peer reviewed journal is not quite the
same thing as other peer reviewed journals. I have published 20+ items in
CRSQ and every one of my papers was reviewed by other creationists. Never
once was one reviewed by a renown expert in the field.

But you can't even check Baumgardner's math so you can't check the math of
an impact simulation. What you have is an opinion as opposed to an informed
opinion.

Sorry, Allen, we find the same order of microfossils in the deepwater ocean,
the shallow continental shelves, and even onshore far inland. These marine
deposits which now exist hundreds of miles inland still show the same
microfossil order.

OK, I will give up the Lower Cambrian and the Lower devonian. That is all
it is missing. Fine, lets remove those two epochs from the Geologic column.
Now we KNOW what exists. What have you gained? nothing. THere is still a
huge pile of rocks with fossils down low being totally different from those
alive today. Not a single modern form is found among them. I don't think
you have gained very much by the removal of the L. Camb. and L. devonian.
By the way, the geologic column in the Tarim basin misses only the Lower
Triassic, but it has middle and upper triassic.
