The Bible says he did. And, really, why flood the Earth at all? If God wanted everybody other than Noah and his sons and their wives dead, couldn't he just kill them? He's used wild animals to kill people, fire from the sky, caused the Earth to open up and swallow them, or when he was in a...

He'd have had to, as no plant life would have survived. He'd have to provide all sorts of vegetable matter for a long time. And don't even ask what the carnivores ate once they disembarked.

This is untrue. What it takes is them being more fit for their environment than other bacteria. If, however, you believe it to be true, then please provide a citation for this assertion. Well, with superbugs the thing that kills off the rest of the normal population is antibiotics. That's...

You're right. A breed is a subcategory within a species and actually has no scientific validity as a term. But we're not talking about breeds. We're talking about speciation. It's been said in this thread and in other places that what was on the ark was "kinds". So there would be one "cat...

We know very little about what causes lightning, but what we do know is that there is not enough electrical charge in clouds to cause them according to currently understood physics. The question is - is this evidence for Thor? If not, why is the fact that we don't yet understand abiogenesis...

Since you've recently posted a link to an article about some evolutionary research, I know for a fact that you don't believe that no research on evolution has been done since Darwin published On The Origin Of Species. Can you link to any published ID research on the subject? Or, indeed...

Did they? Can you provide a citation for that? I've seen it said now*, but that's after the research has already been done by scientists. It's easy to look at something that exists and say "I predicted that". That's not terribly convincing, though. What is needed is a publication of some...

That assumes that any civilisation would produce radiation that a) we could detect, b) we could distinguish from natural phenomena, c) is coming from a direction in which we happen to be looking and d) is coming in a form that we're looking for.

You keep posting this without answering the critique of it. And the funny thing is, the timing of your posting it as well as the fact that you've clung on to it like a dog with a new toy leads me to believe that it's entirely possible that it was my post with the critique where you first...

That's fairly witty, as cheap shots go. But it still leaves the critique unanswered, so it's not effective as a debating technique. It is, as always, up to you whether you're interested in making a cogent argument, or whether you're content to just copy-and-paste or link to things without...

Vaccine, could you please answer post #50? It would be very instructive to know what you believe the actual tested hypothesis to be.

It doesn't make them unable to compete with normal bacteria. We only recently created superbugs because antibiotics are relatively new, and it's even more recently that things which don't need to be antibacterial (such as sanitary wipes or soap) have had antibiotics added to them, allowing more...

Seems that making predictions of things after the fact is, indeed, good enough. I hereby predict that post #167 in this thread will be by RDKirk. When this prediction comes true, you will all be able to marvel at my prognostication.

That's the second time you've posted that in this thread, and both times you've ignored the critique I made of that same link in post #9.

It's actually a lot worse than that. It's a pretty famous photo. The reason it's famous is that the "grown up person" isn't "walking by without helping the child", seconds before the photo was taken he stole the bag of food he's carrying from the child. Yup, it's a photo of a healthy...

Then you missed the beginning of the conversation. I'm speaking about the premise that a "kind" is a taxonomic level above a species and that since the ark came ashore the "kinds" have produced all the different species that exist today. So, for example, the "cat kind" that was on the ark was...

Let's assume that the bacteria existed for tens of thousands of generations before the population acquired that ability. In that instance you'd have to question why the bacteria who had that ability had at no previous point become the dominant strain.

If she's bi and you have a problem with the fact that she's bi* then not only should you not be a couple, but you don't really love who she is. You're infatuated with who you want her to be. That's not a good recipe for either a relationship or a friendship. It's not healthy for either one of...

Are you saying that things written after Genesis was published are predicting the events of Genesis? Because if that's the standard of evidence, then I can predict last week's lottery numbers.
