    Thread for Anti-Americans

    Anyone who is anti-american, please post a comment here & identify yourself. It seems there is confusion about who is Anti-American, and who is pro-American or neutral to America, but who is strongly opposed to an American invasion of Iraq. Separate question.. Anyone who is not now...

    Shuttle disaster

    Anyone who hasn't been watching the news this morning: turn it on. The Columbia did not land as scheduled this morning, and it is thought that it was lost during re-entry. Sad news.

    Are you a unique creation of God?

    I'll let the poll, and its results, speak for itself.

    Its official! Insects on the ark!

    We have long believed that insects had to float through the flood the best they could on vegetation mats; they were excluded from the ark on the criterion of having not the "breath of life". X-ray microscopy has recently revealed that insects do indeed breathe...

    Awesome!

    For Rize - the evidence

    Rize, I wanted to start a different thread for discussing the data itself, rather than the methodology. A good jumping off point is this statement of yours: The evidence that apes and men share a common ape ancestor is conclusive. The evidence that birds did evolve from dinosaurs is...

    When was Genesis written?

    In another thread, someone mentioned that part of the Genesis creation account might have been influenced by the Babylonians (specifically their hanging gardens)... JohnR7 replied that Genesis was written 1000 years before the Babylonians even existed as such. My question is this: What...

    Behe's Bulldog

    What the heck. If we are going to do this, let's do it right. DNAunion, You tell me, without using tautologies or simple authority, what Behe's criteria for determing what constitutes an I/C core is, and we will then see whether any of your accusations against Miller really stand...

    To the bloody end: Lucaspa, science, and atheism

    As promised, I am starting a new thread to hash out this non-sense about atheism being faith. I have my own reasons for posting this in Science instead of in Apologetics - but in addition to those, Lucaspa thinks that science is somehow intertwined with this issue. In a remote sense, it is. Part...

    Phil Johnson On Trial

    I don't know if this is a new article, or whether I have just overlooked it before, but it is an excellent critique of "Darwin on Trial" by Phil Johnson. At the same time, it is a pretty good critique of some of the familiar lines of argument frequently encountered right here on this board...

    Davies and Setterfield on c-decay

    Not really: I really don't think Setterfield had any input on this, but I'm sure he will see it as validation. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2002/08/07/1028157961167.html Pretty heady stuff if it works out!

    Creator "needed" as explanation

    This is to all, but I would like to quote Lanakila from another thread to get the topic started: Now any non-creationist who sees this will, I think, immediately see the misunderstanding. The Big Bang theory says nothing at all about a Creator. Yet you might hear a person say "With theory...

    Sustained fusion?

    A watch on the beach

    The classic question: "If you find a watch on the beach, do you conclude that it just accidentally formed there, or that it was designed." The answer: "No." You don't jump to conclusions based on superficial appearance. Unless you already know where watches come from, the scientific approach...

    Denial

    I have scrupled for the past few hours over whether I should make this post or not. On the one hand, these considerations are pertinent. On the other hand, there is ample opportunity for offense. I will disclaim this at the first,  that if any are accustomed to...

    Function discovered in 'non-functional' retroviral DNA!!!

    The University of Georgia news article is found here: http://www.uga.edu/news/newsbureau/releases/2002releases/0208/020801herv.html Unfortunately the sequence identity seems to have no impact on this particular function, providing cold comfort to the "common designer" hypothesis...

    Matter, Math, logic, and theory

    The strong force thread has gotten very byzantine and confused. I have not been able to sort out any individual's position on any single "point", nor how this all relates to an origin debate. In hopes of clearing this up, I thought I would start a thread for discussing these issues in a...
