Knight…
I am curious as to why someone who denies evolution would have linked and article confirming much of what evolution says ?
The “Walking with Dinosaurs” series from PBS had several episodes devoted to the creatures of the Antartica with was further North and rainforested before Continental drift took it down to the pole.
Do the word 70 million year old and 200 million year old dinosaurs fit with your 6,000 year old Earth ?

I'm kinda curious why you linked that site, myself.

...reminds me of the cheesy mid-50's B-movie sci fi "The Land Unknown" about an expedition that uncovered a warm prehistoric world at the South Pole...:)

why do folks always wonder why a creationist would link to a web site.
its true we dont agree with millions of years part, it just assumes to much.
but read and wonder about the title of the thread

Maybe someone else can confirm this, but I think a warm climate dinosaur in Antarctica actually fulfills a prediction that the Old-Earth Geologists have regarding how the continents were once arranged differently than they are today. Pangea and so-forth.

Because of continental drift, Anarctica was much farther north, almost to the equator, many millions of years ago.

This doesn't have anything to do with Walt Brown. This is about his theory.

Why would you give Walt Brown respect when he is theorising about something TOTALLY out of his field of expertise.
Most of his points are illogical to say the least.
Every expert in the relevant field completely disagree with his assumptions..
I have a Master in Economics.. if I wrote a theory on biology would you say my qualifications are relevant ?

Actually, Walt Brown has been dodging Dr. Joe Meert for several years. Meert agreed to the conditions set forth by Brown in his challenge, but Brown reneged on the issue of whether or not an impartial party would be the final arbiter of conditions and rules. (this was explicitly in the contract Brown offered)
A lawyer (a creationist, BTW) wrote an unsolicited opinion on the dispute to Meert and Brown, and his interpretation of the contract is here:
http://gondwanaresearch.com/hp/walt_brown.htm
It appears that like so many of these creationist "debate offers", Brown will only do it if he can rig the debate from the get-go.
I got as far as #2 on his site (aquired characteristics) to find the first major goof:
"New genetic traits are not created; instead, the environment can switch on genetic machinery already present."
In fact, many examples of new genes have been observed. A number of them have been directly observed in laboratories, and other have been seen in nature.
Here's one:

Brown gets no respect from me. His hydroplate theory is total garbage.
