Just prior to Ben starting the painting business he worked at Howelsen Hill making snow. He proves snowmakers can do anything, way to go Ben.

There are always two sides to the story. The rest of the article had more to the story then what you posted in here. First Huckabees son was 18 and parents have limited to no control over their children the older they get. Second they put down a stray dog that was in bad shape. Lets remember where they were at, they most likely do put animals down when they are sick and in bad shape without a vet but he probably didn’t have a gun available to shoot it. The way they put the dog down is the question but we have no idea what the dog was doing prior to them putting it down. Could it have had rabies or was it aggressive? The article didn’t talk about that.

Taxes – Most states including CO have put a larger tax on cigarettes for good reasons. A tax for health care for the children of the state, that is a good thing and moving forward. As for the other taxes the state was in bad shape before Huck took office so he was probably playing catch up. The last thing is the governor doesn’t just make up new taxes and signs them into law. It takes other elected officials and most of them were democrats.

Grand Canyon – Basically those articles give evidence of the delta which I knew about before but the delta is way down stream from the canyon. The evidence of the delta gives better evidence of it happening very quickly with an extremely large amount of water shaping and moving the material.

The evolutionary theory has changed over the years to fit new thoughts and findings but to believe that birds came from dinosaurs is much more of a belief then my faith that God exists.

Here was the first post about this article by bcpow “Hey Mike, tell us more about how the earth is 6000 years old. Who would have thought that the Flintstones was based on reality?” I didn’t start the debate that we have had here but I felt the comment above needed to be addressed. Those of you that don’t believe in a higher power that is your right in our free country. I also have the same right as you to debate here or anywhere else.

The bottom line in this evolution/creation debate is that it doesn’t matter that either of these are taught in schools. To know evolution doesn’t make a person a better lawyer, doctor, engineer or person in general but what it does is take away from learning what a person will need in the future.

Any of the facts I gave for my side I can find the info online from websites that you will say are not correct and have been dis regarded by the scientific community just like Expelled has shown. As far as the erosion topic goes, we just need to look at the canyons and mountains around us, everything is breaking down. Also I never have seen erosion in the layers around the western USA or the parts of Europe I have been to. The only erosion is what is happening now and and exposing the layers that don't have erosion.
Sorry but I have to go and work, I have to be at work some Sundays instead of at church with my family. I will be back later.

Tax problems, I wish we could have the Fair Tax system in place. Any law-abiding citizen could end up in jail for taxes the way the system is now. Thank you for the insight on Hovind, I will look into it more but he is only one of the many resources I posted above and tax problems doesn't dis-count a lot of what he does because they don't relate to each other very well.
As for the tracks in Dinosaur National Park I never heard of those in the studying I did two years ago on it. If they truly are not human then I stand corrected, but with time (thousands of years) the elements can make things like tracks change drastically.
Here is another question for you, the Grand Canyon. Did it really form over millions of years? Lets look at current topography of the Colorado River drainage above the Canyon. The rim of the canyon is around 6000' elevation. Go up river and look at what is below that elevation. Grand Junction and the entire valley, Moab, Dinosaur NP, Craig is right about 6000'. Now fill up the canyon with dirt and let the water fill the lake. The lake was extremely large behind it. If the canyon formed over millions of years, when the water crested the top of the rim wouldn't it start eroding at a faster rate every minute like we can demonstrate in a lab? This is a simple dam breach on the biggest scale we have seen. Also where are the tailings from the canyon? There is a lake below it called Mead that was built with a simple concrete dam. Then below are more. Maybe the delta in Mexico is where all the material ended up. It would take a tremendous amount of water at once to push that much material hundreds of miles.

I am waiting for a response to
“If life just happened, why can't scientist take the sludge of amino acids and whatever else and make life?”
What happened to the others that posted earlier?

If life just happened, why can't scientist take the sludge of amino acids and whatever else and make life? Why does Joe speak in the third person? Kind of like the Sienfeld episode about a weird guy.

It is funny to read your little comments and about how funny this is to read what I have to say. Yes Dr Hovind has some questionable stuff related to his education but if he has been convicted of so many federal crimes why isn't he is jail?
As far as reading only what supports my beliefs, I tend to read more of it but I grew up in a school system that teaches so much about evolution I didn't have time to think for myself. I am playing catch up now to find the truth. I also read and research all political viewpoints and try to have an unbiased viewpoint of political issues.
As far as dinosaurs and humans living together lets open our eyes to a few things. There have been human footprints and dinosaur footprints found together. Petrified trees have spanned several layers of earth that are of different ages. Here is a question, why in the layers we see exposed by road cuts or erosion, there isn't erosion in those layers? Today we see a break down in the layers, not building up. Plants and animals are becoming extinct at alarming rates, not rebuilding or making new ones. Is that because of our pollution or because God created a perfect Earth in Genesis and when Sin was introduced everything has been going downhill from then.
Basically today we have two beliefs, Evolution and Creation. What if there is a third one that is very different but is right?

Sorry but Flinstonistas don't come up in a google search.
Evolution is based on theories and findings that are recent to over 150 years old. To say Ben can't use the base of all evolutionary beliefs that started not that long ago for discussion today is wrong. Just like the three little pigs story, what have you built your house on? Creationist have built it on a solid foundation and the few words in Genesis that we live by have many truths that have and are being proven today. If the early foundations of evolution are not built on a solid foundation then the “facts” of today that are based on a sandy foundation will be washed away when the truth is exposed. Our beliefs are based on what people saw centuries ago.
The article you sent has very few facts in it and is just trying to break down the character of Ben Stein instead of really trying to address the questions at hand. Also to call these scientists crazy or what ever else you want to describes them to a tee. Most scientists are out there and are very focused on their work. They are a group of tight knit intelligent people that are also set in their ways. When one, or in this case, several step out of the box they are put out to the wolves. The wolves are the ones that threw them out.

If all you have is “Hey Mike tell us how the Earth is only 6000 years old” then you need to educate your self more then just what is taught in the public school system today. Take a look at “Expelled, no intelligence allowed”. Scientist are disproving evolution and they are looking elsewhere for the answers but due to the system they are being fired and expelled instead of others listening to their finds. Look back at Nazi Germany, it was survival of the fittest and the Jews were not the fittest according to Hitler. This is the same basic thing being taught in our schools now.
Having morals, having a belief in an everlasting Savior is a good thing for our short time here on Earth. So many people are being persecuted in this world for their beliefs and we live in a free country but people want bigger government to control our lives. The school system has cut so many programs that use the right side of the brain and they only focus on the left side of the brain to meet ACT and SAT score objectives.
Back to the 6000 years old, do a little research on the grassroots movement out there that is finding evidence of Noah's Flood and creation. Nearly every old culture in the world has a history of a flood and also dragons. Should we dismiss what people saw and recorded as history and say the dragons they saw were not real and substitute our dinosaurs, which may have been the same thing.
By the way Mike Huckabee is a good man, an excellent speaker and has a grip on what this country needs. Just look and see what he did in the 1990's to bring a democratic state together to make it better. No other candidate has a record of bringing both parties together more then he does. Don't dis-count Mike because he is a Christian and believes the Bible word for word because he could be our next VP.

On No snow, no go: Ski area postpones opening day (anonymous)

I know the guys that do the snowmaking and they have been very busy this year replacing old leaking snowmaking pipe and upgrading the system. They have some new low energy equipment but still many older guns that are not efficient by todays standards. After another year of upgrades they will be able to produce more snow at marginal temps but with the weather this fall we have not had many marginal temp nights above the valley floor. Summit County is doing the best in the west. Any other Rocky Mtn state is not doing as well as CO. I just got back from a road trip to ski areas in Utah, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. Some of the ski areas have not even had temps for making snow and others had only made a little bit of snow. These other states will be lucky to be open for Thanksgiving unless this next storm system dumps a lot of snow.
