Perhaps, perhaps not. There have been many times in the past when there was a consensus and it was incorrect. I'm just pointing out what is pointed out to believers all the time.Eh... Not really. Just because the vast majority of people believe something does not mean that it is true. However, when we are talking about scientific disciplines, the consensus view really does help us understand what the experts think the evidence points to. Or, to put it another way, if you've got 10,000 people who intensely study a complex topic, and 9,999 come away with the same opinion, is it really unreasonable to think that they may have it right?
It has not always been this way. It's sad really.Peer-review's main effectiveness is in protecting the ideologies of the peers. It is generally a shoddy system in regards to weeding out error, fraud, and bias.
There might be some truth to this, for example lots of money rests on peer reviews especially in medicine. But evidence to discredit the age of the world, evolution, i think not, just one more attempt to classify a scientific discipline as a religion.It has not always been this way. It's sad really.
And yet, the discovery institute is able to tout a long list of papers it has published. Huh. Weird.Peer-review's main effectiveness is in protecting the ideologies of the peers. It is generally a shoddy system in regards to weeding out error, fraud, and bias.
Doubt creeps in when there is money in play.So... When did it change? 150 years ago? 100 years ago? 50 years ago?
Science should always be about where the evidence leads and money should never be the reason behind any scientific exploration or discovery. There should never be any idea or hypothesis that is rejected until it is falsified or knowledge increases.There might be some truth to this, for example lots of money rests on peer reviews especially in medicine.

It is hard to pinpoint the exact time. I think it gradually declined.So... When did it change? 150 years ago? 100 years ago? 50 years ago?
True, and evolution and an old earth is where the research has consistantly led.Science should always be about where the evidence leads and money should never be the reason behind any scientific exploration or discovery.

I think they investigated the calcified bone and found the collagen preserved underneath.
"...Serial sectioning of one sample I presenting fibres and of one presenting the erythrocyte-like structures revealed that these fibres are less dense than the matrix surrounding them and that an internal structure is present inside the erythrocyte-like structures. With a transmission electron microscope (TEM) we observed that the fibres show ~67nm banding, which could possibly be considered collagen fibre remains. Finally, using mass spectrometry, we found peaks that are consistent with fragments of amino acids present in collagen. The spectra obtained from the erythrocyte-like structures are surprisingly similar to the spectra obtained from the whole blood of an extant emu.
...Detection of fragments of the amino acids normally found in collagen supports the results obtained from TEM analysis where the ~67nm banding is consistent with potential preservation of the original quaternary structure of the protein."
Extrapolation is not the same thing as speculation. Untreated blood vessels turned to ooz in days while the treated vessels were preserved two years later. Clearly iron has the power to preserve tissues. Schweitzer's experiment is a proof of concept, not the final answer and she did not present it as such, despite what Armitage claims. And Armitage's video is pretty bad. He starts by saying that the test is bogus because of the laboratory conditions, then by the end of the video he's claiming that iron doesn't actually preserve tissue which is objectively false. You can't honestly be convinced by his absurd argument that if iron could really preserve tissue he would already know about it and rich people would be using it to prolong their lives and therefore it must not have this property. Schweitzer's experiment proves that it does regardless of whether you accept the extrapolation. And the isolation of certain tissues from blood is basically irrelevant, if it is even true. He seems to be unaware that groundwater is often rich iron. I have worked on literally dozens of dinosaur specimens encased in and impregnated by ironstone. Ironstone is the result of copious amounts of iron in the groundwater so it is ridiculous to sayThose experiments were conducted over a couple years in a controlled environment. That is the definition of speculation to extrapolate that to 75 million years. Additionally the already wildly speculative hypothesis relies on preserved samples being encased in blood for its iron content, yet soft tissues are being discovered that are located on parts of the body that generally do not come into contact with blood.
Mark Armitage, (a technician that was fired for publishing a soft-tissue discovery) addresses this claim and explains in more detail here.
I might remind you that evolutionists castigate young-earth creationists for appealing to similar ad-hoc speculations. Yet there is no shame when evolutionists do the same in order to protect their age-of-the-earth beliefs.
When YEC's speculate to protect an idea it is "religion". When Evolutionists speculate to protect an idea it is "In science we admit when we don't know".. just an interesting double-standard.
I find the analogy too simplistic to relate.
Equally dubious is the claim that dating methods unequivocally support geologic time, when we know for a fact that geologic time has never been allowed to be questioned since its acceptance. If an idea cannot be questioned, it is hard to imagine that research is not inevitably biased towards supporting it and data ultimately filtered towards those ends.
Showtime. Nothing else really matters except you having a bible case, which you do not have...or a science case for a same state past which you require.Really? If that was the case surely you have some evidence that supports your claim. And why would it be necessary to mention Jesus even if he did what you claimed?
What "freaks"? And they have shown how the universe could have created itself? You don't seem to realize that if you claim "something" needed to make the universe the exact same logic says that "something" had to make your God.
Oh my, there go the irony meters again. The man with no concept of how science is attacking me because he believes a .... Oh well don't want to get into too much trouble here for pointing out your inability to reason.
No, that is no religion, that is observable testable science. So you are finally admitting that you are wrong. That's a relief.
Then name them. Your first one failed terribly.How can peopl e have hatred for something that does not exist? And you know that calling the Bible "God's word" is extremely blasphemous.
He can't. Which is why all he can do is make claims. He can't show you that life propagates any other way than breed mating with breed producing new breeds through exchange of genetic information or through the replication of that information and variations from recessive and dominant genes. All he has is claims - which is why that is all he ever makes.

Right because nobody is financially invested in perpetuating the Evolutionary narrative. After all, it's not like these institutions draw worldwide public support from being seen as the keepers of the truth about the origins of everything in the universe.

Really? As I has been said, when religion lost the argument to science regarding creation or evolution, some accepted theistic evolution, others variations old earth intelligent design etc. and others the strawman argument that classifies evolution as a religion. Since if you have lost the argument redefine the terms.Right because nobody is financially invested in perpetuating the Evolutionary narrative.

dad, you are of course being a hypocrite by using the very science that you deny. And your claims are not even biblical. You have to abuse the Bible to support your beliefs. But then we all know that. You have less than nothing, you shoot yourself in the foot so often that your shoes could be used as colanders.Showtime. Nothing else really matters except you having a bible case, which you do not have...or a science case for a same state past which you require.
All other talk is wasted.
