JM: So? 100% can question the premise of gravity and they can all throw themselves off a building, but I'll still bet on gravity. Science is not a democracy it makes serious demands of the evidence. Evolution has all the evidence and ye-creationism has none. Game is over, stop whining and...

JM: Lots of people have already discussed and researched this topic. Head over to your local university library and do a search on Niagara falls using GEOREF. I find it amusing that creationists are loathe to argue uniformity and then use uniformity to try and discredit geology. Oh well...

JM: Actually, the 6000 year old birthday was celebrated in 1996. Cheers Joe Meert

Don't know if anyones mentioned this (I did not have time to slog through the entire thread, but you may be interested in the following book on economics and evolution. It's quite a good read. http://www.pupress.princeton.edu/titles/7912.html Cheers Joe Meert

Bump! I'm really interested to hear the creationist explanation for animal drug models. Cheers Joe Meert

JM: You're (not so cleverly) sliding the goal posts. The point of discussing the sickle cell TRAIT is in regards to its evolutionary advantage against malaria. No one here has made the claim that they are indifferent about those who suffer from the disease of sickle cell anemia. I especially...

JM: You missed the point. You asked for an example of evolution and this is a good example. As others have pointed out, it depends upon how many of the mutant genes express themselves in the population. Two is bad, one is good. Do try and stay focused. Cheers Joe Meert

JM: You must be absolutely wrong on principle alone ;) Go Gators Cheers Joe Meert

jm: correction duly noted.

JM: LOL, Glenn Morton has summarized the much ballyhooed imminent demise of evolution on the following page, ID is simply an old hag in new clothing: http://home.entouch.net/dmd/moreandmore.htm

JM: Of course you can demonstrate survival of the fittest (as correctly defined by others on this board). An excellent example is the mutation that causes the sickle cell trait. It arose in African populations because it provides a survival benefit with regard to malaria. The key is that if...

JM: Yes, the limestone is organic, but the lakes that are presently there have nothing to do with its formation or existence. I don't know what particular unit you saw, but most probably it was of Paleozoic age. At that time, the region of Ohio was covered by shallow inland seas and the...

JM: You just HAVE to find a way to see it. It makes Baugh look like a complete ***. The funniest part is that Baugh has no idea he's being ridiculed. Cheers Joe Meert

JM: Well, Rees discusses it briefly in "Before the Beginning".  The instruments can already detect antimatter and matter annihilating in particle accelerators, but in order to detect it at a distance, there would have to be a rather significant amount of anti-matter present.  One...

  Is there someone on here who does not believe this?    

  JM: Let's make sure we deal with the evidence correctly.  First, some mountains were lower in the past.  For example, the Himalayas did not exist 65 million years ago but this fact does not really help the young earth stance.  Some mountains were also much higher in the...

JM: I try to back my posts with some science.  In this case, it just so happens that the subject was along the lines of what I do.   That was just lucky :)  

A large asteroid could indeed cause the tilt of the Earth's axis to change, but that is something different than what Duane is positing.  

I found this topic and the claim that 'pole shifts' happened recently and are about to happen again intriguing.  When I was an undergraduate taking a philosophy of science course, we were required to write a paper on pseudoscience.  I chose a book called "Pole Shift" by John White who...

Hovind does have a connection to Einstein, of course.  Hovind discusses Einstein in his lecture and says the following (imagine Einstein rolling over in his grave as you read).... "Well, suppose a car passes you at 60 mph with its lights on.  To the driver, the light travels at the...
