    The New Trend

    I guess you are unaware of the fact that genetic engineering is based on evolutionary theory. Evolution explains why it is possible to transfer a gene from one species and put it into another and still have it function.

    On some dried goo, God blew, then you.

    How do you feel about the cute phrase: "Dogmatic Darwinists!"

    Evolution... how?!

    To answer part of your question, single-celled organisms do not necessarily live on their own but often live in large colonies. This includes bacteria as well as eukaryotes. In many cases, the different members of a colony perform different functions (such as reproduction), even though the...

    Happy Birthday to our Members!!!

    One reason I find it hard to accept a literal interpretation of the book of Genesis is that Chapters 1 and 2 contradict each other. I was wondering how the YECers who contribute to this forum explain these contradictions. I will summarize the contradictions I see in these two chapters...

    What's the use?

    Many scientists and educators became interested in (or alarmed by) this debate only after creationists started getting laws passed to either ban or compromise the teaching of evolution in public schools. This effort continues today, and has been extended by creationists to local school...

    What Would It Take?

    Some different examples that would make me seriously question evolutionary theory: 1. Fossils of mammals with feather imprints. 2. Early Cenozoic whale-like fossils with baleen instead of teeth (since baleen is an "advanced" feature of whales). 3. A gene from a human which has a...

    Want to chat with William A. Dembski?

    I took a look at some of the threads in the forum in question. There seemed to be quite a lot of criticism of Dembski's ideas among the participants, and it did not seem that the moderators were objecting. Therefore, I do not think it is as biased as some of you implied. That said, I do not...

    Some of the evidence for chimp-human common ancestry.

    F.Y.I. There is an interesting article in the April 11, 2003 issue of Science (vol 300, No. 5617), entitled "Chromosomal Speciation in Primates," L.H. Rieseberg and K. Livingstone. It provides evidence that chromosomal rearrangements in our ancestors may have provided a barrier to gene flow...

    Brain Washed

    <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">It is not that I do not like the possibility you present, it is that I found the way you presented it to be rather insulting.&nbsp; Perhaps that was not your intent.&nbsp; However, scientists take their professional integrity very seriously.&nbsp...

    Brain Washed

    Where is your evidence for such an accusation?&nbsp; Can you give us some examples of scientists who were dismissed because they could show scientific evidence against evolution?&nbsp; Show us some evidence of the international conspiracy behind hiding the evidence against evolution.&nbsp...

    Macro-evolution

    I am not quite sure what you mean by "both traits exist at the beginning".&nbsp; As I brought up previously on this forum, mutation and evolution explains where all the traits come from and how new traits can appear and increase in a population.&nbsp; Creationists seem to&nbsp;have trouble...

    Scientific Foreknowledge in the Bible

    Another example of incorrect science in the bible: The bible strongly implies that thinking and emotion occur in the heart, not the brain. Even today we metaphorically associate emotion (esp. love) with the heart. No where in the bible is thinking associated with the proper organ.. the...

    Why teach creationism in public school science classes?

    First I want to thank Jon and wb3 for being the only creationists to respond to my question.&nbsp; I would like to know what form off creationism you both think should be taught and why.&nbsp; Wb3 you indicated that evolution is not a scientific law.&nbsp; I am a scientist and I can tell you...

    What abou this?

    My first response to this question is that no scientist believes that the human eye occured by chance.&nbsp; It evolved by natural selection which is the opposite of chance. Second, it is true that&nbsp;any visual organ that evolves must be fully functional.&nbsp; However, during the...

    Why teach creationism in public school science classes?

    The reason I became interested in the Creation-Evolution debate was my concern over the political attempts to get creation taught as science in our country’s public school systems. I think it is a very bad idea to teach a religious concept as if it was science and to force public school...
