    Evolution vs. The Bible

    The bible isn't anti science and science isn't anti bible. The damage is from people who hate evolution because it disagrees with their interpretation of Genesis and attack science with every distortion deception and pseudo science they can dream up Again falsehood and distortions. You should...

    Evolution vs. The Bible

    I agree the reputation of science has been damaged by all the anti evolution rhetoric in the church. Hence creationists are much more likely to dismiss the warnings about climate change as a hoax. The consequences of that will be disastrous. And of course you have the damage to the witness of...

    Evolution vs. The Bible

    Sorry Mark there is more to evolution that the phenomenon described by the change in allele frequency definition. There is the history of evolution on earth over billions of years that science has uncovered, as well as the theory of evolution explaining how this process happens. Like KWcrazy...

    Evolution vs. The Bible

    Thanks for the illustration. Of course people who are anti science will claim the science they reject isn't real science. Experminent on fruit flies have actually show that genetic isolation ie speciation occurs very easily, as the theory of evolution predicted. You missed out the driving force...

    Evolution vs. The Bible

    Hi Mark :) It is the sciences Creationist disagree with that make them anti science, not the other sciences they don't have a problem with. You are still phobic if you have an irrational fear of spiders, no matter how many clowns, mice, enclosed spaces or heights you aren't afraid of.

    Largest Stone Blocks ever Discovered

    I don't think ancient craftsmen were limitted by you lack of imagination. An abrasive harder than that rock being worked is preferable, but simply rubbing the two slabs together will produce together will act as a abrasive, nor would any abrasive be limited to quartz rich sand. Mill stones would...

    Largest Stone Blocks ever Discovered

    Sprinkle abrasive between the rock face and another smoothish slab and move the slab back and forth. once they are sliding against each other the high points are the places in contact and get worn down more. Use finer and finer abrasive until both faces are polished smooth.

    Science-Ignorant of the Flood or simply dishonest

    Heb 1:1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.

    Polarization and beliefs on Creation

    Its the things Genesis 2 describes God creating that make it a creation account, not the things it doesn't describe. And God is doing this in a barren wilderness, like it says in verse 5. In fact verse 5 gives us two reasons there were no plants, there was no rain and no gardener. The verse you...

    Polarization and beliefs on Creation

    Yes. Genesis 2 describe God creating man, plants, beasts, birds and woman. Sounds like a creation account to me. How about previous to creating plants on day three? The problem of course is God creating man when there were no plants, which is a completely different order to Genesis, not to...

    Polarization and beliefs on Creation

    'Science' that dismisses established evidence based science as 'bowing to the altar of Darwinism' isn't real science, just some sort of religious commentary. If Genesis 1 & 2 are a single creation account why is there a Creation account title "These are the generations of the heavens and...

    Polarization and beliefs on Creation

    Because while some people in the past interpreted the Genesis days literally and others figuratively, the literal intrepretation was never taught as dogma until modern creationism. Nor did Christians in the past oppose established science with their interpretation of Genesis. In fact they...

    Polarization and beliefs on Creation

    Hi Mark you are still confusing Creation, the doctrine that God is the creator of all things visible and invisible, with Creationism, the modern teaching that Genesis creation stories have to be interpreted literally and that evolution is wrong.

    Do virtual particles have any velocity?

    That is so cool. Thanks. Always wondered about those Feynman graph thingies :) So are quantum foam virtual particles actual particle particle interactions or just virtual with an infinite range of possible velocities unless it is collapsed by interaction with an actual particle in it own...

    Do virtual particles have any velocity?

    When virtual particles pop into existence in the quantum foam do they have velocity, even zero velocity? I am wondering how they would appear from a different relativistic inertial frame? If they had a preferred inertia it would suggest a preferred reference frame. Is this one of the areas where...

    Joshua 24:25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and put in place statutes and rules for them at Shechem. 26 And Joshua wrote these words in the Book of the Law of God. And he took a large stone and set it up there under the terebinth that was by the sanctuary of the LORD. The...

    Polarization and beliefs on Creation

    I agree Genesis promises Christ would defeat Satan. But since text actually describes the redeemer stepping on a snake, isn't it possible you insistence on reading Genesis literally is a mistake? If the foundations are destroyed you are probably building on the wrong ones. In the psalm David...
