what about diamonds? Diamonds are composed of carbon, with some small amount of other elements. Some of this carbon is carbon-14. Carbon-14 is formed when nitrogen-14 is hit by a neutron, and carbon-14 decays back into nitrogen-14. N14 -> C14 -> N14 -> C14 .... etc. Do you see how the two...

Could you point to any of the attendees of Altenberg disavowing 'randomness'? I've read quite a bit about the Altengerg attendees and I've not seen any indication that your assertion is correct. Darwin's idea of strict gradualism is wrong. That has been known for quite some time - there are...

No, that would constitute an answer, not an explanation. "God did it" provides an answer for everything, and an explanation of nothing.

I get frustrated that organizations such as the one in the opening post focus solely on biological evolution. YECs use the word 'evolution' to encompass all the physical sciences, since they believe in a 6,000 year old earth and all of science has to be invalid for that to be true. Since the...

If you wish to have a discussion with 'evolutionists', it is probably a good idea to post this in the general Origins Theology forum, and not here in the creationism forum. But since you asked .... :) I hope you realize that the Wikipedia article only provides a very high level summary of the...

This does not seem to be a recent phenomenon. I believe it was Ambrose Bierce, in the 1800s, who said "War is God's way of teaching Americans geography".

Obviously Clausius overlooked babies also, when he formulated his laws of thermodynamics. A fertilized egg developing into a baby is an obvious violation of the 2LOT. ( ;) for Poe's sake).

Re. the opening post: major head trauma

There is a very good DVD from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute on nature's strategies for reproduction and the evolution of sexual reproduction. It's called Genes and Gender: http://www.hhmi.org/catalog/main?action=product&itemId=165 Their full catalogue of DVDs contains some good basic...

Gee, I always thought vanity = plaid sofas in the AV dictionary. I'll update mine.

And once again Robert, I have to ask: where did all the heat go? Tectonic movement generates heat in several ways - friction, heated mantle material coming to the surface, etc. It is a huge amount of heat. If all that tectonic movement happened during the "flood year", the oceans would have...

The counter question that comes to mind for me is: "Why is science needed in YEC?" Why is it so vitally important that YECs try to come up with scientific support of their religious beliefs? Why don't YECs take the position that science is irrelevant to their beliefs and ignore it? Given that...

There's one additional important point to add to the above. Seldom is modern science flat out wrong. New theories replace old theories not because they show the old theories to be 'wrong', but because the new theories refine the old theories. For example, the 'plum pudding' model of atomic...

It should also be pointed out that no creationist literature will ever provide a definition of 'information' as used above. To state that DNA 'information' never increases means that this quality (information) of DNA can be measured. And to be measured it must have a unit of measure. For DNA...

The first sunspot of solar cycle 24 has been spotted: http://www.physorg.com/multimedia/pix1819/ Everybody can exhale now - the world is not ending after all.

You should try to understand that the theory of evolution, like any other scientific theory, is descriptive and not prescriptive. Do you have similar concerns about thermodynamics or atomic theory?

You might want to check out the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Biointeractive website: http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/ Their online catalogue for evolution is at: http://www.hhmi.org/catalog/main?action=getCategoryListing&catId=2 I would recommend the following DVDs...

Wow, the latter part of this thread reminds me of the infamous timecube website.

IIRC, it was about 300,000 years after the beginning that the universe lost its opacity and the CMB occurred.

Thanks for posting that video, it was very informative. This would be a great video for MK to watch re. his human brain evolution questions. The whole idea of non-incremental evolution seems to tie in with recent work in cis-regulatory regions of the genome (but I'm just a layman so I could be...
