ELWAR writes: Just a bit of advice. You should be aware of who you are discussing a point with instead of assuming a deficiency on the part of your opponent. I stopped having to prove my proficiency in physics after attaining my current position. The following references not only address the...

I do wish that creationists would come up with better arguments than merely rehash those that have been dispelled time and time again. While it is true that the 2nd law of thermodynamics posits that a closed system always evolves from a state of order to a state of disorder and such a change...

Creationists still cannot handle the great demotion that has taken the erroneous theocentric (and thus anthropocentric) framework of the cosmos and turned it on its ear. There is solace in the fact that creationism is waning and will bear no more plausibility than alchemy, astrology, or any...

Paleontologists recently found fossil remnants of what may have been one of the earliest mammals-Eomaia Scansoria (Dawn mother/climber). It was an insectivorous, shrew-like critter that most likely eeked out an existence in the arboral environments of the Jurasic Era. This most humble of...

Oy Vey! Lambslove....come on. Don't tell me that you are no more inquisitive about the origins of ideas than the sheep with a cross branded on its forehead in your icon?

Lambslove, I am merely presenting some information that may not be widely known.

Abbe George Lemaitre was among the first theoretical astrophysicists to propose the hypothesis that the cosmos was not static and infinitely old but rather continuously changing and finitely aged. The link below presents a little more of his insights. Abbe George Lemaitre

Oh so you are one them snobby Q'zar'ar'tan! Well Mr. Fancy Pants, I am 'Xnalt'to'qos! How do you like them apples? :P :D

You are more than welcome to pose an argument that counters mine. I welcome it. Otherwise, there is little point this antagonism. My intent is to examine and discuss this issue...nothing more. If I have been blunt then I apologize. My style of discourse may appear hostile but, in reality, I am...

Yes the age-old creationist stand-by....uncertainty exists in certain dating techniques so all dating techniques are assumed to be faulty and thrown out. Well it won't work this time. Why? The answer lies in sunlight. The sun is merely a fusion reactor which synthesizes helium and heavier...

This we don't know. Current estimates place the age of the solar system at ~4.5 billion years. There are strong indications that Mars once had a much denser atmosphere and flowing water on the surface. It is not inconceivable that life may have gained a toe hold in Martian environs prior to...

:eek: Oy Gevalt! If indeed there are photosynthetic organisms living in martian soil, they are 1. Undoubtedly simple in morphology since more complex structures would not survive the constant bombardment of solar UV. 2. It is unlikely that they would have nervous systems for the same...

This doesn't even make any sense.

A very tentative analysis conducted by the Mars Pathfinder science team has revealed a spectral signature similar to that of chlorophyll in certain areas of the martian soil around the spacecraft landing sight. I must stress that these findings are very preliminary and a spectral signature...

Uh...isn't this illegal. If you are in Mississippi, the legal age of consent is 16. Otherwise, you can be convicted.

Well, According to Jerry Falwell, the antichrist is alive and well and walking the earth even now in the guise of a Jewish male. Well I am not antisemitic but I have $100 on it being Jerry Seinfeld. However, Vegas odds on William Shatner have improved dramatically in recent months. I have to...
