In reply to the discussion: Creation Science at its best [View all]gcomeau
(5,764 posts)179. "Why is that"?
That's like asking why the wheels on my car are called "round". Because they meet the definition of round.
Why is the stuff you keep posting pure and unadulterated nonsense? Because they meet the definition.
"Even still today there are large methane hydrate deposits all over the world that have been discovered"
Yeah, and? If you instantly emptied every single one of them in one single second you would still not produce the effect you are claiming was produced. What the heck point do you think you are making?
This is like someone saying the entire Grand Canyon was filled to the brim with water yesterday evening, and then someone pointing out that that seems like it's impossible, and they just went and looked and see no sign it was filled to the brim yesterday... and the person making the claim saying "Oh yeah? Well sometimes IT RAINS you know! Have you ever heard of rain? It drops water in stuff and fills them up!" Then standing back like they've finished making their argument and supporting their position.
And just to get this out of the way, why the hell are you even talking about Jupiter anyway? Seriously? I mean why not Pluto while you're at it? Or Neptune? Or a stray comet? I mean since you're just making random stuff up why not a wandering black hole? Why Jupiter? Just because you felt like it? Because that was the first name of a planet other than Earth that popped into your head? Why did you need ANY planet to bounce something off at all? What was the point? It made your little fairy tale sound more dramatic? Improved the mental production values? Because it sure as hell wasn't because of one single tiny bit of data that said a damn thing about any object in the solar system actually having a damn thing to do with a collision with Jupiter I know that much for sure.
"but right now I have lost track of exactly was those three points.....but remind me and take it one at a time and I will give as much detail as you like."
Ok, you are reminded. But excuse me for concluding that rather than "losing track" of them you simply never saw them because they're not there.

So if you have no evidence to support that hypothesis, why do you hold it to be true?
