    [__ Science __ ] Noah’s Ark: The Problem of Violent Waves

    No. The stress on the hull is almost entirely from hogging and sagging. The reason wooden vessels the size of the Ark will quickly leak and sink if not pumped out continuously is that flewing of the hull due to wave action. That's been tested. The Wyoming was a wooden ship the length of...

    Bonus fun fact: That story is just a Creationist invention. Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans are descended from earlier humans. They just evolved into different biological races. No one with any knowledge of humans at all would buy that "evolved from the monkey's ancestors" story.

    [__ Science __ ] How Long Have Arches Been Around?

    It mentions one. And not surprisingly, there was a whopper of a flood in the Middle East about the right time. It created the Black Sea. There are mountains now completely covered at the bottom of that sea. "Under Heaven"was related to the belief at the time that the Earth was flat with a...

    [__ Science __ ] How Long Have Arches Been Around?

    Either there was one big flood or there were a lot of big floods. The evidence shows a lot of big floods.

    [__ Science __ ] All Children Are of One Race—the Human Race

    But that's not what the founders of YE creationism thought. ICR co-founder Henry Morris, into the 1990s, was preaching that the genetic character of black people made them intellectually and spiritually inferior to other "races." It's true, however, that many YE creationists have rejected the...

    Grow pretty much the way trees do. Rings aren't unique to trees. Woody growth, with rings, is common in dicots, and occasionally happens in monocots.

    The traditional characters are beautiful, but the simplified system is easier for me.

    [__ Science __ ] Noah’s Ark: The Problem of Violent Waves

    Barbarian, regarding the reason Ham won't actually build an Ark and see it if works for a year: There's a more practical reason, isn't there? I mean, if AIG could pull that off, that would shut up all the critics of his interpretation, wouldn't it? Don't have to. All he'd have to do, is build...

    The scientific definition of biological evolution. Change in allele frequencies in a population. That's pretty much like saying, it's a fact that things fall down, but I wouldn't call it "gravity." C'mon. Oh, the magic YE creationist story about evolution. No, that's just a superstition...

    There's a more practical reason, isn't there? I mean, if AIG could pull that off, that would shut up all the critics of his interpretation, wouldn't it? But for the reasons we're discussing, That project would fail. And Ken Ham knows it. So he's not going to back his talk up with a...

    No need for "design"; He could merely have a miraculous suspension of nature around the Ark and save it from any calamity. But if one gets to call in non-scriptural miracles to cover gaps in one's story, then all stories are equally plausible.

    [__ Science __ ] Noah’s Ark: The Problem of Violent Waves

    It is not unreasonable to assume that leaks from the working of the Hull cou.d simply be gathered I a bilge and pumped out. Appropriately enough, the Wyoming was designed as a coal-carrying schooner. At full capacity, she could carry more than 6,000 tons of coal, doing the work of several...

    [__ Science __ ] Noah’s Ark: The Problem of Violent Waves

    No, this is false. The stress comes from wave action on the hull. Hogging is the stress a ship's hull or keel experiences that causes the center or the keel to bend upward. Sagging is the stress a ship's hull or keel is placed under when a wave is the same length as the ship and the ship is...

    In principle. But historically, they pretty much all had to be modified as evidence accumulated. Yep.

    [__ Science __ ] The Source of Our Identity

    Other animals (far as we know) are innocent. They have no way to know good and evil, and they are therefore blameless. Only after humans clearly understood good and evil (as St. Paul points out) were they culpable for their behavior.

    [__ Science __ ] Darwinistspeak: "Individuals don't evolve, populations evolve!"

    While Darwin came to heavily dispute the dogmatic prescriptions of the Anglican Church and Christianity in general, later in life he clarified his position as an agnostic in response to a letter from John Fordyce: "In my most extreme fluctuations I have never been an atheist in the sense of...

    [__ Science __ ] Darwinistspeak: "Individuals don't evolve, populations evolve!"

    Ham's obsession is that a phenomenon of nature is "atheistic", ignoring that Darwin himself ascribed creation to God, including the creation of life. Sadly, he's been repeatedly corrected, but he professes himself to be wise, ignoring Creation to keep his own desires: Romans 1:20 For the...

    [__ Science __ ] The Source of Our Identity

    It's not relying on his own judgement after he becomes like God and knows the difference. Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature those things that are of the law; these having not the law are a law to themselves: 15 Who shew the work of the law written in their...
