JM: ID is fruitless. Suppose that the blood-clotting cascade is declared 'irreducibly complex' and 'intelligently designed'? So what? How does that information help the hemophiliac? One of the hallmarks of science is that the answers to questions will bear some fruit. For example, our...

JM: C-14 does not really provide evidence for an old earth. It can provide evidence that certain carbon-bearing flora/fauna date back before the typical 6000-10000 year time frame given by ye-creationists, but it really does not tell us much about the age of the earth. Cheers Joe Meert

JM: Non-sequiter. I believe in God and understand that evolution is how creation took place on earth. You make the very fundamental mistake of misrepresenting Christian faith AND evolution. How bizarre. Cheers Joe Meert

JM: That's exactly what it is, a game. It's not science and even Paul Nelson has acknowledged that ID is not science, so I don't see what they would be debating. Perhaps this: PN: ID is interesting. Mod: Yes it is. What is the science behind ID? PN: Who said ID is science, not me...

JM: That's really too bad because it gives false credence to ID. What's most interesting about the debate is that Paul Nelson is a young earth creationist. I hope he's asked a question about that. Cheers Joe Meert

JM: But that's a very silly misuse of scripture. As a Christian, you are required to spread the word and that may lead to some controversy and confrontation. In the case of YEC'ism it is also self-defeating because YEC'ists cannot lobby silently and expect to move science into their camp...

JM: If I am where you are, there I shall find my hell. Cheers Joe Meert

JM: Lol, I simply said that wherever I spend eternity, I hope it's not with you. Cheers Joe Meert

JM: I would have to say that I want to spend my eternity anywhere other than where you hang out. Cheers Joe Meert

JM: HAve you been to the regions affected by the tsunami? I've been to the coastal areas of East Africa, Sri Lanka and India. Trust me, the people who were killed by the tsunami were by and large very, very poor. Cheers Joe Meert

JM: It's pretty much pure evil that goes on there in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Indian and the east African coast. People struggle to find food and shelter. Many are so poor they don't have shoes or clothes. Pretty much your standard devils. God was good to wipe them out in the tsunami just as he...

JM: Yes, the topic is the subject of my dissertation. I studied under one of, if not the top, man in the field of paleomagnetism. I think it's fair to say that I know the subject far better than either Walt Brown or Humphreys. That's not meant to be a putdown because both of those people have...

[size=2]JM: I suggest you review the concepts of passive and active rifting. JM: Convection does not require 'an escape', it requires temperature differences sufficient to move the material along a gradient. JM: Name two scientists who think convection cells are mysterious. Cheers Joe...

JM: If that is indeed what you are doing, might I suggest another tact? Begin by reading about the fundamental science behind the ideas and see if it matches up with what creationists are telling you. Present the material in a manner that shows you want to learn. For example, "Brown stated the...

JM: I'm glad to help, but I am also curious. If you don't have a grasp on the most basic fundamentals of the field, why spout off on it as if you do? There is nothing wrong with not knowing something. Basalts record the ambient field at the time they erupt. Unless someone is standing next to...

JM: No, that is an incorrect description of BB cosmology. At the instant of the Big Bang and for some time after, there were no 'pieces'. The Big Bang was an energetic expansion. Matter and presumably anti-matter formed out of the plasma as quarks began to unite to form the atomic particles...

JM: Well, deception by omission applies to True Origins. They did not present a fair and balanced discussion of a debate offer with Walt Brown, for example. Cheers Joe Meert

JM: Creationists call this peer-review. Cheers Joe Meert

JM: I nominate Hugh Ross as the Ph.D. physicist. Cheers Joe Meert
