Your explanation is weak because the distribution of marine fossils is too even. And on top of that you have anomalies like the nautiloids in the Grand Canyon and polystrate fossils with marine fossils in the Joggins formation. What elements are you talking about?

Actually sharing (transferring, selling, and other synonyms) an idea that is purchased is common. It's the norm in companies. No, they don't both have the right to the idea. The government decides who gets the idea. But people not only want to make things easier, they need to make things...

No, your premise is wrong. A license is a two way contract, and if the buyer doesn't agree to the contract it's up to the *seller* not to sell. And beyond that it's up to the seller to get *positive* agreement to the contract. In other words, if the seller doesn't get a kind of signature he has...

There it's nothing wrong with only sharing an idea if someone pays for it. But since ideas are not scarce in an economic sense someone else can have the same idea and then you won't be able to profit from it anymore. When this was argued before, someone said we'd never have the software we have...

To be sure it takes longer to freeze an animal the bigger it gets, but in this case it is more than offset by the much less aggressive digestion process. Dr Austin explains this.

Yes, Bob and I had some wonderful discussions about copyright. I don't think he answered the problems I raised, but it goes to show his ministry was not a cult.

Because intellectual property is not, in an economic sense, scarce. And because it is not scarce, it must take ownership of physical property to exist. As an example, if one buys a book, copyright says the person who owns the ideas in a book owns the book. But then one did not buy the book...

Actually, an elephant's stomach doesn't need to freeze that fast to preserve what is in it. Maybe a humans, but not an elephant's. Plus, it looks like there is oil/coal below the frozen mammoths meaning that the frozen mammoths happened after the flood. Dr Brown does admit if oil/coal was found...

Dr Austin's explanation is better.

Although it's a clever idea, copyright is bad law. In general.

Good for you. I mean it, no sarcasm. Sure it is sometimes. It depends on circumstances. I think in this circumstance it is. I think it's enough. Again, don't take continued discussion of a topic as *clinging*, in the sense of emotionally not being able to let go of an idea. Circumstantial...

It's not. There is more in my post to JR.

Some evidence was provided.

You don't know that none existed. The bible doesn't rule it out, in fact it might be mentioning it when it talks about the windows of heaven. We just don't know. It doesn't mention it in scripture before because it wasn't important enough to mention. It didn't contribute to the flood enough to...

It's a figure of speech. It most certainly could be talking about a canopy.

Since I've been repeatedly clear, over and over, redundantly, again and again, that I support and promote HPT. I've even been evangelizing it for many many years... Why do you bring up the "firmament" when I said "firmament of the heavens"? They are two different things if you weren't aware...

What's there to elaborate on? There are anomalies, a canopy that explains some aspects of them, and the phrase "windows off heaven". That's it. God didn't need to describe what it was or that he even mention it separately, but He could have just lumped it in with creating the firmament of the...

No, I base the idea on the phrase "windows of heaven", not on dividing the firmament.

This is what I'm talking about your side being dogmatic in light of very little data. It would be wiser to say you don't think the evidence supports a canopy, not that there is no evidence for a canopy at all. And that you doubt the phrase "windows of heaven" refers to a canopy, not that that...

Sure. You act as if I'm saying Dr. Brown's view has no biblical or scientific support. It does. But so does a canopy, despite your insistence otherwise. It would be better for the two camps to acknowledge we have little data to go on and both sides take a "we'll see" attitude while placing or...
