    Creation: Perfect Timing and Chance

    Correct! I am sick to death of fundamental zealots making the Creation/Evolution debate a salvation issue. I believe the false worship of a literal Bible is a bigger problem for Christianity than whether you accept the theory of evolution or literal Creationism. Many scientists like...

    Vestigial structures and natural selection

    Oh and the behaviour of Creationists like Hovind and Gish several others who repeatedly say or imply evolution=atheism is to be applauded. Kent "I don't pay my taxes, I pretend I have a real PhD, I invented a cure for cancer" Hovind. Oh he is a fine upstanding Christian - how much a year...

    Creation: Perfect Timing and Chance

    Anthropic arguments such as this usually are not considered very persuasive in the science community. The primary reason being that it is hard to know the probabilties a priori for the different fundamental constants of physics. You can equally well turn the whole problem around and say the 'we...

    Adam

    Your welcome - I thought the prose was poetic myself. I know you are being sarcastic and I admitted later I jumped upon him a little hard but it is just seeing the sterotype creationist 'I don't know a thing about the subject but here is the way it is because my pastor told me so argument.'...

    Adam

    That is fine - check things out for yourself. What people should do on these issues is learn themselves. I'm sorry I did jump on you a little hard but it is difficult to stand pat when someone makes a statement based upon their own admitted ignorance of the subject.

    I wonder why they are portrayed that way? You know there is a reason behind most stereotypes!

    Adam

    LOL LOL LOL Let's examine your statement (a classic example of why Creationists are ridiculed). "you apologise for your lack of scientific knowledge" - fair enough "I do know carbon dating is flawed" - REALLY! - well of course you have studied it in a scientific manner - Oh but wait -...

    Creationism and Holocaust Denial

    I think most conspiracy theorists do the same. Kennedy asassination - UFO's - Lunar landing hoax etc. I think to some extent it is the personality types that many of these beliefs attract. Look at 'starman' on these boards - he believes 'em all.

    Creation Science Teacher!

    LOL - it's a 'geocities' link - it must be true! Isn't it true that roughly 80% of all crank websites have geocities in their name.

    Creation Science Teacher!

    Quit reading the self esteem books! "projecting" - LOL The majority of Christians worldwide don't do in for the gibberish written in Revelation (again another topic like YECism almost confined to fundamentalists in the US - that's a shock isn't it?) . Next you're going to tell me it was...

    Creation Science Teacher!

    You know when anyone resorts to Revelation to prove point they have no position worth taking to begin with. The most useless piece of text ever written down. It's only in the Bible by basically pure luck. And when people use it to interpret 20th century events you can be pretty sure they...

    Why do YECs believe the universe is only a few thousand years old?

    Ah -so this is where you were going. Talk about a simplistic and misleading analogy. Your point is really unfounded. Physics isn't about plugging new numbers into the same old equations. Where do you get this idea? Your initial assumption is that for some reason you think everything is...

    Why do YECs believe the universe is only a few thousand years old?

    I really have to go to bed. Are you implying a connection of the first set of relations to this new set? What do you mean by "changing the solution in the previous set"?

    Why do YECs believe the universe is only a few thousand years old?

    Yes - by traditional algebraic methods there is no common solution. Don't tell me you are going to combine them and pull the x=1 out of your hat? PS Why did you carry on pretending I had not answered when if you go back a couple of pages I posted the same thing?

    Why do YECs believe the universe is only a few thousand years old?

    I answered the question earlier today. I said there is no common real solution (or complex for that matter.) Why do you seem to think I have not answered. x=x^2 solutions 0 or 1. x=2x+1 solution -1 Put them together and the solution is the null set. i.e. no common solution. I...

    Why do YECs believe the universe is only a few thousand years old?

    Who said there was a common real solution - I didn't. And how were you relating this to the physics questions?

    Why do YECs believe the universe is only a few thousand years old?

    Solve what? I gave you the solution. There is no real or complex number that simultaneously solves the two equations you posted. What the heck are you babbling about.

    Why do YECs believe the universe is only a few thousand years old?

    We had many posts about physics then you popped up the math question which seemed a disconnect from the discussion. I still don't know what your point is with that. Your stuff is backed by no physicists at all. No research - no theory. I am pretty well read physics wise and have spent all of...
