    [_ Old Earth _] Radioisotope Dating Seriously Flawed

    Yes, the Creationist ploy of selecting contaminated samples is equivalent to my sundial example with someone shining a bright light on the dial. The technique in both cases is being misused.

    [_ Old Earth _] Radioisotope Dating Seriously Flawed

    Sun dial Seriously Flawed Let me use the same logic on the sundial. 1) If I thave two identical sundials, one in Singapore and one in Iceland, they will give different readings at the same time. 2) Sundials are noticably unreliable at night 3) If I shine a strong light on a sundial, the dial...

    Can man change Gods Law?

    So the ten commandments no longer apply? My Bible says the the laws remain until the end of the world and second coming.

    [_ Old Earth _] science against evolution

    No, that is wrong my friend. Scientists have constructed polio viruses from components. The question is not if life originated on earth from molecular components. That is obviously demonstrated by life being here. The question is how did it happen. As a comparison, we know that the sun was...

    Why wont God heal amputees?

    How do you explain the rise of Mohammed in Arabia? Wasn't he a orphan or such? Humble persons do occassionally rise to great prominence. Ask Bill Gates, the college dropout.

    [_ Old Earth _] The future of Humanity

    The amount of computer bits it takes to describe something. If the genome is altered, it may take tha same. less. or more bits to describe the new genome. Physicists often relate missing information to a quantity called entropy ( mathematically, it is the natural log of missing information)

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution / Creation / Intelligent design

    You know I cannot think of a single individual who was killed due Darwin's Theory. However, whether in Northern Ireland or Iraq, I can note millions of people who have been killed because of differing religious beliefs.

    [_ Old Earth _] The future of Humanity

    Man plays God all the time. We are currently doing it today with our earthly environment. The technology will be available. The challenge will be to use it wisely.

    [_ Old Earth _] The future of Humanity

    Right now, as has been pointed out, civilization has allowed humans with genetic flaws to reproduce and not be eliminated by natural selection. A million years ago my bad eyesight would have made me a prime candidate for a saber tooth tiger dinner snack. Now, I just wear glasses. The exciting...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution / Creation / Intelligent design

    Both atomic theory and the Theory of Natural Selection are theoretical falsifiable. Gravitational theory is falsifiable. Just because all experience indicates that if you jump off a bridge, you will fall down, no scientific philosopher would rule out absolutely that you wouldn't fall up the next...

    [_ Old Earth _] Did God Use Evolution

    While I recognize that they are fictional characters, I find it amusing to contemplate that Cheetah, the chimpanzee, and Tarzan, the ape man, would share 99% of the same DNA

    Born Again Atheists?

    Glorydaz, Your comments with regard to the man facing death remind me of the old saw that there are no atheists in foxholes. The saying is not true, of course. The degree of religious belief in the military is not much different than the outside community. However, it is true that people facing...

    [_ Old Earth _] Did God Use Evolution

    As a scientist (but not a biologist), let me correct a few things here. Humans did not evolve from apes. Biologists would classify humans as apes. We share a common ancestor with the other great apes (orangutan, gorrila, chimpanzee). Feelings of affection are common among higher mammals that...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution / Creation / Intelligent design

    You conduct double-blind experiments of God's influence? How? Anecdotal stories are not scientific evidence. Otherwise, we would have to accept the healing power of crystals or Dianetics. The 'fossil explosions' were still over a much longer time frame than dog breeding. I don't see...

    [_ Old Earth _] Did God Use Evolution

    Suggest you read some modern biology text What do you think a transitional fossil would look like? A bird with half a wing? Of course the fossil animals are fully formed. They simply have traits that have not fully transitioned to the modern species.Thus, you have Archaeopteryx with teeth...

    [_ Old Earth _] Did God Use Evolution

    Re: Challenge Now you have me worried. Here I thought all along that electromagnetism is real but I guess not because it uses complex numbers. Quantum theory is even worse. I mean, how real can spinors be? God forbid we have to use some of the concepts of string theory. Back to only 'natural'...

    [_ Old Earth _] Did God Use Evolution

    Slight correction My biolgist friend says that ancient precursors to clams may have been in the Cambrian period. Substitute lobster for clam in my example in my previous post.

    [_ Old Earth _] Did God Use Evolution

    Challenge Actually, I have read Strobels, not the particular text that you cite but his "Case for Christ'. Mt Strobbel, who is a journalist, not a scientist, appears to assume his conclusion before he starts to write. He presents about as impartial view as Fox news. Most of his points are...
