Quote# 5049

Iron deficiancy wasn't a problem in the pre-flood era. We need iron in our bodies now because it helps protect us from the damaging UV rays of the sun. Back then...there was a canopy of water over the earth that kept out the UV rays.

Uh, no. I can, out of personal experience with critical iron defiency, say that UV-rays is one of the smallest problem you got then.

Melanin has been cited as that 'canopy of protection' from UV rays. The dark skin pigmentation of people in mid-east (even in the, um, biblical times) was a result of adaptation based evolution.

Any such canopy would have had the effect of keeping the earth's temperature too high for humans to survive in.


The degree to which fundies simply make up science never ceases to amaze me.

Iron has nothing to do with protecting us from UV rays, you are thinking of vitamin D.
