Origin of Life

[AV1611VET]

It's religion that they preach as if it's science. But it's not science. Thus pseudoscience.

Just like science dispels a myth, "religion" should dispel science.

In the case of this thread, when an experiment is done under the assumption of a "primitive earth," the Bible should alert us that said experiment is being done under false pretenses.

 

[AV1611VET]

That is a remarkably foolish statement. Martha's lies had a comparatively small impact upon society's legally acceptable behaviour, for which she was appropriately punished. Hovind's lies impact upon important aspects of reality which are capable of corrupting people's perception of reality. Your lies (on thalidomide, the renaming of Pluto, etc) are less troublesome since they are attributable to lack of critical thinking, rather than deliberate deception.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion.

To parrot your own words back at you: You are, of course, entitled to your opinion.

Thanks -- and here it is:

Miller & Urey might fool you guys, but when they have to reduce the earth's beginning to a "primitive earth," they are liars and the truth is not in them.

This is how science operates.

They start with a trainwreck, then has mother nature (or themselves) fixing it over time.

You can usually tell when a scientist is lying ... his lips are moving.

There are exceptions, of course.

But they are just that.

Exceptions.

I'm not obligated to sit in a classroom and parrot what I'm fed in order to placate the system with good grades.

When I go to bed at night, I'm not guilty of having misled someone by telling them the Grand Canyon was formed by the Colorado River.

No, of course not. But you are guilty of saying that it was created by something as lubricious as the world being broken apart a few thousand years ago.

... which further doesn't make sense when the San Andreas Fault Line is a MUCH better example of that happening.
