    [_ Old Earth _] Carbon dating in respect to Creation/ Darwinian Evolution

    You use a calibration curve (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dating#Calibration)

    Running

    :thumbsup Many people hate it as form of exercise as soon as they start, but what they don't realize is after the first few months it actually becomes easy and fun. Now to just get over this cold before my race next week....

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution: Belly Up in the Pacific?

    Miraculous only from your viewpoint. Basically what it boils down to is that you can't accept that "Mutation + Natural Selection" can account for things you consider to be miraculous. You have in no way disproved evolution. There is no hard evidence you have offered that disagrees with...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution: Belly Up in the Pacific?

    I don't claim to be a scientist, but I do have a degree in Biology and one article recently accepted (in the area of microbiology). Of course they haven't. The time frame for speciation (defining species as two animals that are unable to produce viable offspring) is ridiculously long. That...

    Is atheism a religion?

    Disclaimer: Agnostic Atheist here. In terms of the very definition of atheism (a lack of belief in a greater power), it is a stretch to call it a religion. In terms of faith, I think many (if not all atheists) possess a certain amount of faith. For example, I possess a lot of faith in...

    [_ Old Earth _] In vivo "mutations" - or - "What On Your Genes"

    This is the neat thing about science: we are consistently learning new things. Epigenetics is huge right now. Epigenetics (literally "above genetics") studies the control of gene expression by environmental factors. It's amazing how much more plastic our genome is than the original thought...

    [_ Old Earth _] Does Anyone Here Know Anything About Molecular Biology?

    A quick note: Time and time again you bring this concept up as if it in some way relates to evolution. The TOE does not address genesis. That being said, I know for a fact that I have provided papers to you that demonstrate how RNA can act as as a catalyst, totally negating the need for...

    Our current observable universe, yes, but we are talking about singularity.

    I'm not empty worded: What was there before God? If he always was, why can't the universe always have been?

    Change in my religious beliefs

    No - not a Christian. To Lewis: That's why I prefaced my original post with "I know my opinion probably is not valuable". However, is it not sometimes valuable to hear opinions from both sides of the fence when weighing your decision? I know my opinion counts for squat on how Christians...

    Change in my religious beliefs

    Well personally I'm not a religious person, but I'll keep my own beliefs about morality out of this other than to say that I believe morality, and thus being an inherently good person, is not exclusive to those of faith. I would say that none of the details in the bible matter. To me the bible...

    Change in my religious beliefs

    I know my opinion probably isn't that valuable here, but I think that's a thoughtful decision and indicative of growth as a person and not as a change of faith. If I had to use a single word to encompass the Christian faith, it would have to be love. Understanding that the bible is not...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution is for the 'Birds'!

    I'm sorry I missed this post before. Words in my mouth? We certainly have a lot more to understand about evolutionary history. The Theory of Evolution merely explains the mechanism of diversification. It is up to us to interpret the data to understand the radiation of life. Please...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution is for the 'Birds'!

    ] You have hardly shown that to be the case. Its a tenuous connection at best. Regardless, that fact is irrelevant when discussing the validity of the theory. ? I assume you mean for me to explain to you how macro can be observed. There is no macro or micro, there is just descent...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution is for the 'Birds'!

    Jason, Darwin is old, old, old. Darwin did not know about genetics, and had only a fraction of fossil evidence that we have now. Citing his own problems with his theory does not cause the TOE to lose credibility. These problems are nonexistent. You asked me to use DNA evidence to confirm...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution is for the 'Birds'!

    Redshifts, without a segue, on a thread about the evolution of avian migration? Also, why should I prove that ungulates aren't a paraphyletic grouping? They are. From Wikipedia as I really didn't feel like finding a review article: "As a result of all this, the typical ungulate...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution is for the 'Birds'!

    Okay you want a connection between migration and physiology, here it is: Ecological Constraints on the Evolution of Avian Brains - Winkler, 2004 Migratory birds have smaller brains than nonmigratory birds. They have to migrate because they do not possess enough behavioural flexibility to...
