    What's wrong with adblocker? Do you think news services get more money when you don't use it?

    Wait: you're actually saying that people like soulskill, Roblimo and Timothy get paid for what they do?

    Nobody wins a "debate" like this, because it isn't a debate.
    Pitting blind faith against scientific reason is just a waste of time.

    I've been to similar places in Alberta and Utah.
    They have fossils of dinosaurs that can be chemically proven to be 100's of millions of years old, and no humanoid fossils more that 1 million years old.
    It has nothing to do with whether you or I were there, you ludicrous twit.

    You've repeatedly claimed that there is a "logical problem" with pointing out that Ham's arguments have nothing to do with science, yet you never say what that "logical problem" is.

    So, let hear it. I double-dog dare you.

    Yes, and his "perspective" all comes down to one statement: "The Bible is correct and I understand what it means".
    Which is fine, except that has nothing to do with evolution, or indeed science.

    .and an atheist believes there is no God

    Wrong.
    "Atheist" means "without theology" and refers to a person who correctly points out that there is no evidence for the existence of a God.

    If a Creationist ever brought up a point that contained a shred of reason (and no, "I don't believe it" isn't reason) then it would be worthwhile to examine it.
    If they ever have, I would like to know about it.

    Catholics are creationists by definition.

    Yes, but they aren't ignorant redneck "young earth" creationists, as Ham is.

    You clearly are not familiar with Ken Ham, and think he is some inbred redneck or internet troll to be easily dismissed.

    Working conditions in the US are FAR better in most cases than they were 100 years ago

    A business that did this would be at a disadvantage because of the dissatisfied employees (especially competent ones) who would go elsewhere

    That's assuming there is somewhere else to go. And, given that all these corporations are run by the same gang of B-School grads, is never going to happen.

    The "scientific paradigm" is nothing more that the systematic application of skepticism in the search to find the truth.
