Yesterday I found a quote, I'm 95% sure it was in the crevo forum. Unfortunately, I can't find it again. It started off with something like: A reply to creationists question (or something). The quote itself was about how a scientist finds his wokr wonderful, and some other stuff. I've even...

But, we can observe a very large number of stars ones at the beginnig through end of their lifetimes, make and test predictions, run simulations (with more prediction making and testing). For example, the CMB was predicted to be present if the big bang theory was indeed true. The CMB was then...

Yes.

geology - they're all big threats to creationism, but geology was I think was the first big evidence against it.

Chickens don't exist because nothing exists, everything is just an artificial construct of a computer program that we are part of.

How do you define miracle? One of my favorite columns from my favorite magazine: Skeptic I'd write something myself, but I'm tired and have done enough thinking for one day.

If we haven't evacuated, I'm definately taking as many pictures as possible. They have mandatory evacuations for the coastal area, zones a&b (we live in d), and the predicted track is now directly over our house. We're deciding whether or not to evacuate when the 5 am (edt) advisory comes out.

I live right in its path... just north of pinellas... where they order an evavuation of 300,000 + people.

I voted hurricane... so powerful. Plus, Hurricane Charley is about 24 hours away from hitting my area. Which will be interesting... looks like we'll be within 25 - 50 miles of the eye, and it is forcasted to have 110 mph maximum sustained winds. Plus I live <5 miles from coast.

It all depends on your intereptation. If you study what the people who wrote the bible would have known, then you can guess with pretty good certainty what they meant when they wrote it. (I.E., they thought the earth was flat, therefore thats what they wrote in the bible)

You seem to conclude that if something is possible, it has to happen. It is possible that you could have died in a car accident. But have you? Some species evolve into others. Some species die off. Some differentiate into 5 different species, and all but one die, or none go extinct at all.

There is no "ultimate goal" in evolution, or a trend towards greater complexity more "information" or whatever. To explain it properly would take time, but it can be defended. I do suggest a good book to help explain it - "Full House : The Spread of Excellence from Plato to Darwin" by STEPHEN...

Are you asking "why are things the way they are?"

argumentum ad somnium i believe this means argument from nonsense

Wow so many strawman arguments, so many fallacies. Anyway boiling it down, you seem to be asking "where did life originate." Although this doesn't concern evolution, science does have an answer. Transitions from Nonliving to Living Matter Protocell Miller-Urey Experiment

Biblical Age I wish i lived as long as the anceint people. They were haveing kids at an age when most of us would be dead. Anyways, I got this chart is from Dr. Dinos site, and shows how easlily you can find the real age of the universe.

From the same article: later in the article: Interesting how the meaning of things can change when taken out of context.

Funny how you should say that. April Fools
