    Do Other Religions Support the Belief in Creationism?

    Heathenism (read: Norse/Scandinavian/Germanic polytheism) does have creation myths, such as the sons of Bor killing the giant Ymir and building the world from his broken body, as well as others. However, they are just that: myths. All myths expound religious truths, things that endure through...

    1) Science is taught in public schools. 2) Evolution is science. 3) Therefore, evolution should be taught in public schools. QED

    Evolution and the second law of thermo dynamics.

    I've posted on this topic several times before. Having had extensive training in thermodynamics (being a chemical engineering student, I didn't have much choice), the three laws of thermodynamics can be explained as follows: 1) You can't win (conservation of mass and energy). 2) You can't...

    Evolutionists: what are your official/accredited qualifications concerning Evolution?

    I've got some high-school level biology as well as college-level biochemistry. I'm also 5/8 done with my BS in chemical engineering, so I'm reasonably qualified to handle anything related to chemistry, thermodynamics (including the favorite of the Creationists, the second law), and the like.

    Religious based proof that evolution is correct

    One fact I find intriguing: The United States Constitution specifically says that children of traitors are not to be punished for the actions of their parents. The God of Israel, on the other hand, says that those who disobey him will be punished, along with their descendants, for seven...

    Religious based proof that evolution is correct

    When you look at some of the things God did in the OT, it is rather clear that He is only those last three on occasion. If you happen to catch him on a bad day, He is liable to do one of several things: 1) Cause the end of civilization (Noah's flood) 2) Obliterate your city from the face of...

    Evolution can't account for beauty, the poetic or the sublime while Creationism does

    There was a thread about this type of statement recently. This belongs in Origins Theology, not Creation/Evolution. You are not making any scientific points, only philosophical ones. This is a forum for scientific discussion.

    No evidence for evolution?

    Reps to you. That makes me feel a whole lot better.

    No evidence for evolution?

    Wizard's Second Rule: The greatest harm can come from the best intentions. Wizard's Third Rule: Passion rules reason. So many creationists think they have such grand intentions, and are so blinded by their passion in their own good intentions that they cannot see reason, nor can they be made...

    Boy Scouts

    Normally I don't play the part of thread-necromancer, but I figured just once it wouldn't hurt. I just had my Eagle Ceremony this past month (see profile picture), even though I actually earned the rank in 2004 (being away at college plays hell with scheduling). Worked for 4 years at one of...

    No evidence for evolution?

    When explained in such simple terms as put forth by AiG, the Creationist position falls flat on its face. They make absolutely no pretence at being scientific or even reasonable. They make blanket statements about things that some experts have spent half a lifetime working on and proving. The...

    Yes, You Are

    Personally, I make a strong distinction between rational feminists who truly are out for equality and the "Feminazis" who are (seemingly) out to bring all men into subjugation for the oppression women have suffered in the past. There is, after all, a rather big difference.

    Every scientist is wrong?

    Allow me to direct you to the Wizard's Fifth Rule and Wizard's Sixth Rule. Please read and apply as directed. Reason says that if there is a preponderance of evidence that something is true (like the TOE), then it is true.(Sixth Rule). Ergo, if it's true, and people deny it (thereby telling...

    If we evolved, why do we procreate?

    No, Godwin's Law still only applies to Hitler/Nazi references. Although, thanks to you, that's just been invoked. *drumroll* I hereby declare this thread officially dead, by violation of Godwin's Law. Please cease and desist posting here immediately. Thank you. [/snark]

    Evolution is a flawed theory

    As has been said many times before, yes, evolution is only a theory. Just like gravity is only a theory. And general relativity. And special relativity, for that matter. My point is, you're confused by the use of "theory." Just because something has the word "theory" in front of it, does...

    Every scientist is wrong?

    Allow me to (re)direct you to Project Steve, the list of scientists (all named Steve) who have degrees in relevant fields who all support the TOE. (I know the link was posted in another thread, but I thought it relevant to the discussion). Please note, this is only guys named Steve. ONLY!!
