1) Any scientist with half a brain would assume that limestone formation is dependant upon the flow of water and concentration of minerals present. Their formation explains evolution how?
2) Chemical transformations have a large number of factors, typically fossilisation is rare (on a per organism fossilised basis) and takes a long time in conditions typically found in an unaltered world.
3) Sedimentary layers can form in a day dependant upon conditions ie volcano, glacier, earth quake, plate shift and can be disrupted just as easily (im sure a geologist can correct me here). Of course that outdated method is incorrect... in africa we find elephant at layer 26, in america we find T-Rex in layer 27 they must have co-existed? It is when both occur in a layer together you have some argument to be investigated further by carbon dating which has been the tool used now since well before i was born.
Mark we have progressed past Darwin, there is much science way beyond the archaeic methods you have described. I don't know if you read Scientific journals but if something does not make it into an "official" scientific publication it has not carried enough weight to do so. It has nothing to do with disagreeing with current theories, in fact there is nothing science loves more as it keeps people in business.
Speaking of the world only being 6000 years old, odd that carbon dating can date stuff up to 60,000 years old. Maybe god wasn't born then [}:)]
Wikipedia:
Young Earth creationism (YEC) is the religious belief that Heaven, Earth, and life on Earth were created by a direct act of God dating between 6,000[1] and 10,000 years ago. Its adherents are those Christians and Jews[2] who believe that God created the Earth in six 24-hour days, taking the Hebrew text of Genesis as a literal account. Some adherents believe that existing evidence in the natural world today supports a strict interpretation of scriptural creation as historical fact. Those adherents believe that the scientific evidence supporting evolution, geological uniformitarianism, or other theories which are at odds with a literal interpretation of the Genesis creation account, is either flawed or misinterpreted.[3]
Many Young Earth creationists (YECs) are active in the development of creation science, an endeavor that holds that the events associated with supernatural creation can be evidenced and modelled through an interpretation of the scientific method. This has led to the establishment of a number of Young Earth Creation Science organizations such as the Institute for Creation Research and the Creation Research Society.
YECs claim that the lack of support for a Young Earth theory in professional science journals or among professional science organizations is due to discrimination and censorship.[4][5][6][7] However, the overwhelming scientific consensus is that YEC claims have no scientific basis. For example, a statement by 68 national and international science academies lists the following as evidence-based facts, established by numerous observations and independently derived experimental results from a multitude of scientific disciplines, without any contradiction from scientific evidence: that the Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old and has shown continuing change; that life appeared on Earth at least 2.5 billion years ago, and has subsequently taken many forms, all of which continue to evolve; and that the genetic code of all organisms living today, including humans, clearly indicates their common primordial origin.
An atheist was walking through the woods.
'What majestic trees!
'What powerful rivers!
'What beautiful animals!
He said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river,he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.
He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up a path. He looked over his shoulder & saw the bear closing in.
He looked again & the bear was even closer.
He tripped & fell on the ground.
He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw & raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the Atheist cried out,
'Oh my God!'
Time Stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky.
'You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist & even credit creation to cosmic accident.'
'Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament?
Am I to count you as a believer?
The atheist looked directly into the light, 'It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian'?
'Very well,' said the voice.
The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. The bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head & spoke:
'Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen.'
Artificial Intelligence Is NO Match for Natural Stupidity.
Can't speak for Mark but most Christians do not believe that earth is only 6000 years old.
When someone mentioned "single cell organisms", I thought this topic had finally returned to wavesailing! 
Seriously folks .. before you get all cranky over each other (religious topics tend to do that), we all need to return to talking about wavesailing.
There are a bazillion other websites where you can discuss whether a dog exists (sorry, I'm dislexic), and you should visit them to continue the discussion.
Thanking you. 
there is no way santas elves could have possibly created anything......they are too busy wrapping presents for next year!.......and laurie butt out please, this thread is for serious discussion!
hmmm "a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day"according to that same book. Could it be that a creative DAY is a longer time period than ours?

It violates the laws of thermodynamics / entropy (things tend towards DISorder, not become more ordered)
Sorry. But it doesn't
You are missing a small but important bit about it being a closed system.
God must be real - he/she was on the Simpsons.
Boy there seems to be a lot of god lovin Flanderers out in Seabreeze land!
Here's a challenge for all those arguing
For the Believers in God
Prove beyond a doubt that god exists
For those who do not believe in God
Prove beyond a doubt that god does not exist
This proof must be backed up by hard and fast physical evidence (no theories or hearsay) proving for once and for all that God does or does not exist.
To make it easy on you all I'll give you the answer now
Neither side can prove beyond a doubt that God does or does not exist.
So what we have in reality is conflicting BELIEFS in either the existence or non existence of God.
Nobody is right, nobody is wrong.
We only have our perception in what is the right or wrong belief.
Here is a thought to ponder on realities.
What is reality?
My reality is my perception of the world.
Your reality is your perception of the world
Your reality is different to mine.
If my reality is different to your reality
Which is the right and which is wrong reality?
To the schizophrenic who hears the voices in their head, those voices are real yet we can't hear them.
Who is to say that you are not all a part of my twisted imagination or I part of yours.
There is no spoon !
Anyone actually been wave sailing of late ?
I think all this DOG talk may have offended Huey !
Maybe we should be preparing some sacrificial lambs
What was it the Roman's used to do with them ?
Could be a way to finally end this thread once and for all.
Anyone got a hungry lion or three at their disposal ?
