Arguments that creationists should not use

       This article is on the Creation Ministries International (CMI) website.
The article lists the bad arguments that Creationists should not use to bash Evolution over the head with.
Obviously these arguments are old and tired arguments that Creationists once used, and have been successfully countered by good rational argument.
Here is the URL for the "Bad Arguments" article.
       This is what the Creationists have to say. "The primary authority for Creation Ministries International is the infallible Word of God, the Bible. All theories of science are fallible, and new data often overturn previously held theories. Evolutionists continually revise their theories because of new data, so it should not be surprising or distressing that some creationist scientific theories need to be revised too".
Are their Creationist scientific theories?
How many Creation Science papers are published in reputable scientific journals?

I will list the bad arguments below.
Arguments that Creationists should not use
  • Darwin recanted on his deathbed
  • Moon-Dust thickness proves a young moon
  • Long day  NASA computers, in calculating the positions of planets, found a missing day and 40 minutes, proving Joshua’s long day and Hezekiah’s sundial movement of Joshua 10 and 2 Kings 20.
  • Woolly mammoths were snap frozen during the Flood catastrophe
  • NASA faked the moon landings
  • The Castenedolo and Calaveras human remains in “old” strata invalidate the geologic column
  • Dubois renounced Java man as a “missing link” and claimed it was just a giant gibbon
  • The Japanese trawler Zuiyo Maru caught a dead plesiosaur near New Zealand
  • The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics began at the Fall
  • If we evolved from apes, why are there still apes today?
  • Women have one more rib than men
  • Archaeopteryx is a fraud
  • There are no beneficial mutations
  • No new species have been produced
  • Earth’s axis was vertical before the Flood
  •  Paluxy tracks prove that humans and dinosaurs co-existed
  • Darwin’s quote about the absurdity of eye evolution from Origin of Species
  • Earth’s division in the days of Peleg (Gen. 10:25) refers to catastrophic splitting of the continents
  • The Septuagint records the correct Genesis chronology
  • There are gaps in the genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11 so the Earth may be 10,000 years old or even more
  • Jesus cannot have inherited genetic material from Mary, otherwise He would have inherited original sin
  • Light was created in transit
  • The phrase “science falsely so called” in 1 Timothy 6:20 (KJV) refers to evolution
  • Geocentrism (in the classical sense of taking the Earth as an absolute reference frame) is taught by Scripture and Heliocentrism is anti-Scriptural
  • Ron Wyatt has found Noah’s Ark
  • Ron Wyatt has found much archaeological proof of the Bible
  • Many of Carl Baugh’s creation ‘evidences’
  • Missing solar neutrinos prove that the sun shines by gravitational collapse, and is proof of a young sun
  • Einstein held unswervingly, against enormous peer pressure, to belief in a Creator
The following are arguments that Creationists feel are doubtful and advise against using.
  • Canopy theory
  • There was no rain before the Flood
  • Natural selection as tautology
  • Evolution is just a theory
  • There is amazing modern scientific insight in the Bible
  • Laminin: an amazing look at how Jesus is holding each of us together
  • The speed of light has decreased over time
  • There are no transitional forms
  • Gold chains have been found in coal
  • Plate tectonics is fallacious
  • Creationists believe in microevolution but not macroevolution
  • The Gospel is in the stars
Well there it is. I am not a scientist, so erudite scientific argument from me will not happen. 
 It is an interesting article for all people that are interested in the Creation V Evolution argument.
