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

    Where an animal walks in soft sediment that hardens and then is covered again in different sediment. Wouldn't add one millionth of the cooling and lubrication of the oceans. But even the oceans couldn't absorb all that heat without boiling. Physics is what it is. It's not just Newton...

    "The fact that fossil trackways (footprints) exist is in itself incredible—footprints aren’t routinely fossilizing in the present." They are. They are just rare, as they always have been. "The land later catastrophically broke apart, and the continents quickly moved (via catastrophic...

    The Twitter stuff mistakes day-age interpretations with allegory. The link set off all my malware systems. Be careful.

    They had to, to prevent damage to the engine. Which is likely why the Wyoming sunk in a storm. The leaks continued but were not pumped out in the storm. It wasn't quite 15 years old when it sunk. From the start, it leaked heavily. Because of its extreme length and wood...

    [__ Science __ ] Matching Dinosaur Footprints Separated by Atlantic Ocean

    The same area has a mountain range split between two continents and separated by the Atlantic ocean. Europe and Africa is moving away from the Americas by a few centimeters a year. If Columbus made the trip today, he's have to go about 5 meters farther. So this trackway seems to have been...

    It's the nature of large wooden vessels. That's what they do. Large wooden vessels flex due to wave action, and this makes them leak. Every large wooden vessel does this. Always does. No point in denial. It's just physics. It's a very solid argument unless you can show "pre-flood" trees...

    You may be surprised to know that many of us don't spend much time in labs. Biologists spend their time observing populations to learn more about them. And early on, population geneticists observed how evolution actually works in the real world. And BTW, this led to another (the...

    Making up "just-so" stories won't help. You can't clear up problems with your beliefs by inventing new beliefs to cover them. Comes down to evidence. It's a rough game, but it works. It's kind of the same thing. God created the world for us to live in it. That's what you're...

    Making up "just-so" stories won't help. Just supposing "well, physics was different then" isn't a very good excuse. If one is allowed to make up any sort of story to handle problems with one's beliefs, then all things are equally likely.

    It's the nature of large wooden vessels. That's what they do. Large wooden vessels flex due to wave action, and this makes them leak. Every large wooden vessel does this. Because of its extreme length and wood construction, Wyoming tended to flex in heavy seas, which would cause the long...

    No, it leaked from the start, and had to be continuously pumped out. It's the nature of wooden vessels that large.

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

    Because of her extreme length and wood construction, Wyoming tended to flex in heavy seas, which would cause the long planks to twist and buckle, thereby allowing sea water to intrude into the hold (see hogging and sagging). Wyoming had to use pumps to keep her hold relatively free of water...

    Doesn't matter. Genetics shows that it's a fact. And we know the method works, because we can test it on organisms of known descent. Well, let's ask a knowledgeable YE creationist, working from a different set of data.... Evidences for Darwin’s second expectation — of stratomorphic...

    It's an implicit insult to God. He is the Creator not a mere "designer." He has no need to figure anything out. Humans design. God creates. BTW, engineers have learned from God's creation to solve extremely difficult problems that are impossible to solve by design. Genetic...

    Grosseteste had read several important works translated from Greek via Arabic, including De Speculis by Euclid (and likely also De Visu), Meteorologica and De Generatione Animalium by Aristotle, and directly from Arabic, such as Liber Canonis by Avicenna. He likely also read al-Kindi's De...

    That story is just a Creationist invention. First time I encountered it, Duane Gish of the Institute for Creation Research. Just made it up. Debunked almost immediately, but some creationists still trot it out from time to time. No. They learned that from real scientists. What they...

    That excuse won't work, either. The Wyoming immediately leaked because of wave action and required two steam engines to continuously pump out water. This is why you will never see creationists build and ark and test it on the seas. It would fill and sink very quickly.
