Pappochelys is a fossil species recently discovered from the Middle Triassic of Germany. It has features intermediate between the stem-turtle Odontochelys from the Late Triassic and Eunotosaurus, a reptile from the Middle Permian. Eunotosaurus had a turtle-like figure and wide, flat ribs, while...

One of our resident creationists likes to bring up the convictions of six Italian scientists for manslaughter, for failing to adequately warn the residents of L'Aquila of the risk of an earthquake following a "seismic swarm" of small quakes in the region two years ago. This despite the fact that...

I hope everyone has an enjoyable Easter. :wave:

I think its about time that I tell everyone here the truth about the theory of evolution. It is time. We in science all know that common descent or macro-evolution just doesn't work. It wasn't long after Darwin convinced the scientific community that evolution was the scientific answer to the...

I have read many posts from creationists who claim that evolution is a religion. I have also read posts from creationists who claim that Christianity is not a religion. I would like to use a poll to determine what the predominant view on this subject is among the creationists here and compare it...

According to a recent Public Policy Poll of Republican primary voters: 49% do not believe in evolution. 61% of those who identify themselves as Tea Party do not believe in evolution. 57% favor establishing Christianity as the national religion 58% of those who identify themselves as Tea...

I hope all my friends here had an enjoyable Darwin Day yesterday. I had some cake and attended a very interesting talk called, "CRUNCH! A brief history of escalatory adaptive arms-races between marine predators and prey."

Merry Christmas to all my friends on C.F. !! "God bless us all.. everyone." - Tiny Tim

I've once again been told about how much Faith I have in natural selection/ evolution. In fact, I've sometimes even been told that I have more Faith than True Christians here who are creationists. So, I am undertaking the following poll to get a better handle on this idea. I am a True...

Do Leprechauns exist?

Why do people here actually respond to threads like this? Is it an adapation to being evolved and if you say no, does that mean you are not adapted to being evolved? Ha, I have exposed the true ugly underbelly of evolution! You can thank me later. :wave:

Two very easy questions (they are easy because I say so): 1. How many Kinds are there? 2. How many animals were on the Ark of Noah? Please answer with only numbers. Any alphabetic characters in your reply ... even if you say "hello" ... and I promise you, you'll fail this challenge...

I have a rock in my hand. It is rather non-descript, heavy and rather hard. It is probably sedimentary or sedimentary metamorphic, but I can' tell you any details about its composition. Based on what I have told you, Is this rock: A. Evidence for the Flood. B. Evidence for Deep Time. C. Not...

I propose that God created the "Creepy-Crawly Kind" during creation week, and that all worms, insects, spiders, pillbugs, centipedes, millipedes, ticks, lice and "bugs" in general are members of this "Kind." I have concluded this based on my gut feeling about these creatures that all creep and...

One of our newer creationist posters started a thread with this O.P. He quickly changed the subject, and then changed it again a few more times, as he continued to avoid answering questions about things he posted which demonstrated his ignorance. Nevertheless, it is very popular for creationist...

In the May 2013 issue of Smithsonian (pp 48-49), there is an interesting article on the results of a recent national survey they did with the Pew research Center on education. One question they asked was: "From Kindergarten through 12th grade, what one subject should schools emphasize more than...

A fourth grade "science" quiz from South Carolina has been making the rounds on the internet. I think it is symptomatic of why our students don't understand science. There isn't any legitimate science in the entire quiz, or any answer based on scientific study. The article is mistitled (there is...

Is there any reason to conclude that the earth is only 6,000 years old, other than the bible? I've often said here that no one has ever examined the earth and concluded from that examination that the earth is so young.

Creationists here often use the term "evolutionism." I never use this term and I have only seen creationists use it. What is it?
