Really? You’re no better than AARP Tikvah 3 years ago How old is the earth? 640,000 years? Try 6,000 plus a few. New earth creation has good arguments. Sherry Ware 3 years ago 9 out of 12, not bad. Anna A 3 years ago I’m bothered by question # 5. The tendency for a liquid to flow , “viscosity” is not specific to volcanology, but in every area where liquids are studied. Think everywhere from industrial manufacturing to food processing to drugs. For me, it is one of my standard test methods, and I work with coatings. Dasing53 3 years ago 11 out of 12… Viscosity as a term in volcanology does not detract from other scientific studies. The OLD Warhorse 3 years ago Looks like I didn’t know as much about volcanos as I thought I did. George A. Gibson 3 years ago Is any official from AMAC paying attention to these comment. There are a lot of young earth AMAC member and by saying the last eruption of Yellowstone was 640,000 years ago you are brainwashing us just like they are doing in the school. This is the fourth quest that have said the earth was old. If you keep putting out these quizzes I think you are going to have a lot of people leave AMAC. Kate 3 years ago I didn’t know a lot. 7/12. ROBERT 3 years ago 7 of 12, not good but not my worst. Since the earth did not exist 640,000 years ago, exactly how did Yellowstone erupt? Also, when I went to post this, I got a message that I was trying to post too quickly, and that I should slow down! What’s up with that, seeing as how I was done? Sandra 3 years ago Please proof-read the questions before submitting them for AMAC members to read. Question #9: I had to read it twice, then slowly, to understand what you were asking. You left out the word ‘many’ as in ‘Roughly how many active volcanos . . . . .’ Patrick Jay 3 years ago If the earth did not exist 640,000 years ago,when the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago,what planet were they on? Rex 3 years ago You’d be hard pressed to prove the responses to question 3, or even cite a source for such a foolish question. KRM 3 years ago Stop promoting old earth dates. YouTube “Is Genesis History” for God’s truth. Pat R 3 years ago Seems there are a number of us on here who read and believe the Bible for earth’s existence. Liked the comment by Patrick Jay about difference between earth’s existence and dinosaurs existence. John Curtis 3 years ago Who is writing the questions! Liberals? C’mon Amac. You all know better than that. The time line question is invalid because dates of the earth history do NOT go back that far. That’s a broad, false, question which points to the junk science of evolution. Veronica 3 years ago Got em all! Carol 3 years ago I was so excited to see all the people questioning the facts (false statements) being cited in these puzzles. Don’t quit the puzzles just continue to post your comments. wpDiscuz220Would love your thoughts, please comment.x()x| ReplyInsert Login Login Join Renew Member Benefits Newsline Member Benefits Advocacy Our Actions About Advocacy Issues Get Involved Weekly Update Annual Report Find Your Representative AMAC App Better for America Podcast AMAC Blog FAQ About Us Overview Our Team Our Stance on Key Issues Magazine Medicare Games Voice Your Opinion in AMAC Polls Sweepstakes AMAC in the Media AMAC Action AMAC Foundation Social Security Guarantee Prime Directives Brief Prime Directives Details Contact Advertise with AMAC Terms & Conditions Privacy Policy
