    New EPA Director's view on climate change.

    The new EPA director, Scott Pruitt in a recent interview stated: "I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do and there's tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact, so no, I would not agree that it's a primary contributor to...

    U.S. National Anthem

    Over the past year much attention has been given to people who will not stand for the National Anthem while it is being performed. Like most Americans, I am not happy with such events and the disrespect for the protocol while the National Anthem is being performed. However, there is another...

    Same Evidence - Opposite Conclusions

    One of the common claims by the "Creation Science" community is that they use the same evidence as "Mainstream Science", but come to different conclusions with that same evidence. Now retired, I was a member of the mainstream scientific community for some 30 years, only becoming aware of the...

    Best argument against Global Warming

    Global Warming contarians, deniers, doubters. What is the best argument against the science that shows that the earth is warming or that it is not human caused? In addition to the regular forum rules we all must follow, I ask that we all observe the following additional rules for this specific...

    Paleo-atmospheres: The Ice-Core Record

    Chrystaline polar ice has ample space between its molecules of water to trap chemical impurities and gases in the form of "fossil air" which provides a direct measurement of past atmospheres. It is these chemical impurities and gases that not only allow us to look at paleo-atmospheres, but to...

    Non-Radiometric Dating Methods

    There are numerous non-radiometric dating methods and techniques most people are unaware of. I thought it would be nice to get off the radiometric horse for a while and discuss some of these other methods. For those of you not familiar with them here's a list. Annually Banded Records...

    My Creation Science Challenge

    Here's the challenge. The Creation Science community has what they term as peer review science journals. The challenge is to cite one such article that actually has "original research".

    Global Average Temperature

    http://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/features/201501_gistemp/ As NASA states in the article: "One of the hallmarks of good science is that observations should be independently confirmed by separate research groups using separate methods when possible. And in the case of global temperatures, that’s...

    Sattelite Temperature vs. Land/Sea Temperature

    There is an interesting article at the Skeptical Science website that compares the two different data sets and methods. The article apparently is in response to a recent comment by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). Below is a link to the article and a short video (8:52 min.) by climate scientists who...

    Challenge: Explain the fossil record without evolution

    The fossil record is distributed throughout earth's sedimentary strata from the oldest and simplest life forms progressively becoming more and more complex and diversified with respect to time, environmental conditions and extinction events in such a manner as to suggest evolution according to...

    Ice Ages

    There are at least five major Continental Glaciations (Ice Ages) known to have occurred throughout Earth's history. These are: 1. The Huronian, 2.4 to 2.1 Ga (early Proterozoic) 2. The Cryogenian, a probable Snowball Earth event, 850 to 630 Ma (late Proterozoic) 3. The Andean-Saharan 460 to...

    Deep Time

    Mainstream science and "creation science" differ considerably with respect to geologic dating methods. The scope of this thread is to look at what the "creation science" literature has to say about geologic dating methods and their validity. Keep in mind that this thread is specific about...

    Global Flood Sediments

    There are several different views within the Creation Science community concerning sediments deposited by Noah's Flood. One idea suggests that the sedimentary strata in the geologic column represents those flood deposits. With that in mind, how thick would we expect those deposits to be?
